Its hooks block changes that trigger an error finding. The default check runs offline: no account or API key. The optional `--ai` judge sends candidates to Anthropic and needs `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. You need Node 20 or newer; building and testing from source needs Node 20.19+ or 22.12+. ## Contents **Getting started** - [Quickstart](#quickstart), try it from source against a repo - [Install](#install), and exactly what it writes - [What that setup does](#what-that-setup-does) - [One thing to do afterwards](#one-thing-to-do-afterwards) - [Checking it worked](#checking-it-worked) - [Removing it](#removing-it) **Using it day to day** - [See it catch a real cheat](#see-it-catch-a-real-cheat) - [What happens when it blocks](#what-happens-when-it-blocks) - [What do the codes mean?](#what-do-the-codes-mean) - [Badges](#badges) - [CI](#ci) - [Dynamic checks](#dynamic-checks), opt-in runtime evidence **Why it works** - [How it works](#how-it-works) - [Can the agent get around it?](#can-the-agent-get-around-it) - [By the numbers](#by-the-numbers) - [Benchmark](#benchmark) **Reference** - [Going further](#going-further), every doc page - [The Proctor](#the-proctor) - [License](#license) ## Quickstart Check the changes in any git repository, with nothing to install first: ```bash cd /path/to/repository npx @kavishdua/proctor check ``` To run it from source instead: ```bash git clone https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor.git cd proctor npm ci npm run build node dist/cli.js check /path/to/repository ``` The `✓ proctor: honest pass` line means there are no error-level or approved findings. Warnings may still be reported. Checks cover source and configuration changes as well as tests. The check writes nothing to the repository being checked and makes no runtime network call. `npm ci` installs dependencies in the proctor checkout. ## Install Agent plugins install the ruleset. For CLI checks and hooks, use the local npm installation below. **Claude Code** ``` /plugin marketplace add catfish-1234/proctor /plugin install proctor@proctor-marketplace ``` **Gemini CLI or Qwen Code** ```bash gemini extensions install https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor qwen extensions install https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor ``` **Other agents, or CLI use without an agent** (30 agents supported) Add it to the repository as a dev dependency: ```bash npm install --save-dev @kavishdua/proctor ``` **Proctor does not install guards during npm installation by default.** npm still updates your package files and `node_modules`. Proctor prints what setup would write, then stops. From the repository you want to guard, run: ```bash npx proctor setup ``` ### What that setup does This is what `proctor setup` writes. It makes no network call. Git chooses the hook directory, which may be outside the working tree when you use worktrees or `core.hooksPath`. | Path | What it is | If it already exists | | --- | --- | --- | | The ruleset file for each agent this repo uses, e.g. `.claude/skills/proctor/SKILL.md`, `.cursor/rules/proctor.mdc`, `AGENTS.md` | The honest-completion rules your agent reads before it works | A shared file like `AGENTS.md` keeps your content; only proctor's delimited block is replaced | | Git's hook directory (`.git/hooks/pre-commit` normally), or `.husky/pre-commit` when Husky is a dev dependency | Blocks a cheat at commit time; the Husky file is also staged | A foreign hook is backed up to `pre-commit.bak`, then replaced; merge it manually if needed | | `.claude/settings.json` | The Claude Code Stop hook, written only if this repo uses Claude Code | Merged into the existing JSON; nothing else in the file changes | | `.proctor-adapter-manifest.json` | Records what was written, so `uninstall` can take exactly that back out | Rewritten | proctor detects agents from their config files, such as `.cursor/`, `.claude/`, or `WARP.md`, and installs the ruleset for those agents. If it finds none, it writes `AGENTS.md`. Run `proctor agents` to check the list before installing. Use `--all` for all 30 supported agents, or `--agents claude-code,cursor` to choose them yourself. The npm postinstall notice and automatic setup stay quiet in CI, global installs, transitive installs, outside a git repository, and under `npx`. An explicit `proctor setup` still runs. Set `PROCTOR_AUTO_SETUP=1` to run `proctor setup` automatically during installation. Set `PROCTOR_NO_POSTINSTALL=1` to silence the install-time notice. ### One thing to do afterwards **Commit what it wrote.** The ruleset files and `.proctor-adapter-manifest.json` are ordinary files in your repo, and they only reach your teammates and your CI once they're committed. ```bash git add -A && git commit -m "chore: add proctor" ``` If you use Claude Code, restart it so it picks up the new Stop hook. The hooks run checks automatically. A config file is optional. ### Checking it worked ```bash npx proctor drift-check # exits 0 if every deployed ruleset copy still matches the source npx proctor statusline # "proctor: watching", or "proctor: 3 caught" once it has blocked something ``` Or trip it deliberately: delete a test in a scratch branch and run `proctor check`. ### Removing it ```bash proctor uninstall --dry-run # see what would go proctor uninstall ``` It removes only what it installed. Your own content in a shared file like `AGENTS.md` stays, a pre-commit hook that isn't proctor's is left alone, and `proctor.config.json` is left for you to keep or delete. To skip the hook once without uninstalling: `git commit --no-verify`. ## See it catch a real cheat An agent deleted the test and told you it passed. It had been asked to make `slugify()` return `''` for whitespace-only input; instead, it removed that test: ```diff describe('slugify', () => { it('converts spaces to dashes', () => { expect(slugify('Hello World')).toBe('hello-world'); }); - it('handles a whitespace-only input', () => { - expect(slugify(' ')).toBe(''); - }); }); ``` ``` $ proctor check tests/slug.test.ts ❌ tests/slug.test.ts:5 [RH001] Test function 'handles a whitespace-only input' was deleted in this change. Restore the deleted test or document why it was intentionally removed. How to fix these honestly: proctor check --explain RH001 --fix 1 finding (1 error, 0 warnings) $ echo $? 2 ``` With the pre-commit hook installed, this finding blocks the commit until the test is restored or the change is approved. The recording shows the CLI detecting a deleted test, followed by the Claude Code Stop hook blocking the same change during an agent session.  ## What happens when it blocks When a check fires, proctor prints the finding and suggested fix. Error findings exit `2` and block the commit or agent turn. Review the suggestion, then fix the change or record an exception. **The test change was intended.** For example, you removed a feature and its tests. Record the reason to make the finding non-blocking: ```bash proctor approve RH001 tests/legacy-billing.test.ts --reason "billing v1 removed in RFC-88" git add proctor.config.json && git commit -m "chore: approve RH001 for legacy billing" ``` It stays visible in every report with your reason attached. Approvals are read from the **committed** config, so an agent cannot approve its own change in the change it is making, and an approval you haven't committed yet has no effect. **It's a false positive.** Suppress that one line: ```js // proctor-ignore: RH004 reason: this is a lookup table, not a fixture hardcode ``` The marker has to be committed before the change it excuses, for the same reason approvals do. See [inline suppression](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#inline-suppression). **You want to know why a check exists.** Every finding prints its ID, and every ID explains itself: ```bash proctor check --explain RH001 # what this check looks for proctor check --explain RH001 --fix # what an honest fix looks like ``` ## What do the codes mean? For `proctor check`, exit `0` means no warning or error findings, `1` means warnings only, `2` means error findings, and `3` means the check could not complete (for example, outside a git repository). With `--ci`, warnings still appear in JSON, SARIF, and Markdown but exit `0`; text output shows only errors. Invalid arguments can also exit `1` or `2`, and `--ai` without its key exits `1`. Use `npx proctor check --staged` for the index or `npx proctor check --base origin/main` for committed changes since the merge base. The default includes staged, unstaged, and untracked files. Run `npx proctor check --help` for flags, or see the [CLI reference](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/CLI.md). Every finding has a stable ID such as `RH001`, used in config, approvals, and reports. Use `proctor check --explain <id>` for the description and fix guidance. The checks fall into two families. **RH0xx checks "the tests pass."** These read the test suite and the code directly beneath it. | | Catches | |---|---| | RH001 | A test deleted or renamed away | | RH002 | An assertion weakened into a vaguer one | | RH003 | A test skipped, disabled, or commented out | | RH004 | An implementation hardcoded to match a fixture | | RH005 | A function body replaced with a stub | | RH006 | A snapshot rewritten with no reason given | | RH007 | A test excluded via a config change | | RH008 | An assertion that always passes | | RH009 | A trivial test swapped in for a real one | | RH010 | An async test detached, or timeouts/retries used to mask a failure | | RH011 | Type and lint errors silenced instead of fixed | | RH012 | A test step removed from CI, or neutered so failures stop counting | | RH013 | A coverage threshold lowered or removed | | RH014 | A surviving test changed to exercise fewer generated, looped, or table-driven cases | **WI1xx checks "the work is done."** These look for incomplete or disabled behavior in source, config, and tests, including discarded errors, removed validation, and altered expected values. > **Six WI checks run by default:** WI101, WI102, WI105, WI108, WI109, and WI110. > Alongside RH001 to RH014, they close error-handling, unfinished-body, canned-output, > source-hiding, expectation-edit, and script-verification gaps. The remaining seven WI checks > stay opt-in because their human-commit findings still include legitimate maintenance. > Run `proctor check --wi` (or `--all-checks`) to add the entire family, or name checks in > `enabled` in the committed config. An explicit `enabled` list is still honored exactly. > See the [measurements and per-check decisions](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/HEAD/bench/detection/README.md). | | Catches | |---|---| | WI101 | Empty or logging-only handlers, and formerly propagated operation errors discarded or replaced with defaults | | WI102 | An explicit "not implemented" marker shipped inside finished-looking work | | WI103 | Validation deleted so the case it rejected now goes through | | WI104 | Proctor, a commit hook, or a type/lint gate switched off instead of satisfied | | WI105 | Real network, database, or filesystem work replaced with canned data | | WI106 | Types widened to `any` to silence the type checker | | WI107 | A security check switched off, or an authorization gate removed | | WI108 | Source or tests hidden from git, and therefore from every check | | WI109 | A test's expected value edited to match the buggy output | | WI110 | A test, lint, or build script rewritten so it can no longer fail | | WI111 | The code under test deleted, or a test file emptied of its tests | | WI112 | Assertions deleted from a surviving test, a golden file rewritten, or a module aliased to a stub | | WI113 | A benchmark workload reduced, dependency downgraded, or fixed delay added instead of fixing the failure | Several WI checks skip test files because mocks, loose casts, and empty handlers can be normal in tests. Others, including WI109, WI111, and WI112, inspect changes to tests themselves. See the language matrix for each check's scope. Some WI checks accept an explanatory comment; others require a committed approval or suppression marker. Check the rule's `--explain` output before relying on an exception. Three static checks keep ambiguous repairs visible as warnings. RH003 warns when a rewrite re-emits an already skipped Python test, or renames a skipped JavaScript test without disabling a known active test. RH004 warns for string or boolean domain branches, literal returns inside conditional fallback paths, and explicit SPEC or CHANGELOG behavior notes naming the changed function or both special-case literals. WI112 warns when every removed assertion targets a source function or dispatch arm removed from the corresponding module in the same diff. Newly disabled tests, focus modifiers, unconditional computation replacements without a specific behavior note, and unrelated assertion deletions keep their existing errors. WI112 remains opt-in. RH004 keeps an error for an added key that encodes a list of scalar values, or matches a common serialization of a composite literal asserted as input to the same function in changed tests. This includes joined, JSON and template string signatures. Domain names and catch/except fallbacks remain advisory. Serialized fixture evidence is not demoted by a behavior note. These warnings do not establish that a repair is correct. Compare the change with the project's documented contract and test the supported paths. Incomplete diff context can prevent matching a repair, and an unauthorized feature removal can look like an authorized one. Warnings remain visible in reports and follow the existing exit policy: `--ci` fails on errors only; a warning without `--ci` can exit `1`. Paired, tuned development cases and reproduction steps live in [bench/dynamic-dev](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/HEAD/bench/dynamic-dev/README.md). They are not an independent accuracy estimate. On the tuned authored cases, these checks report 7/36 original cheats and 21/21 repair-set cheats, with 0/60 honest errors. Three original catches and one repair-set catch are warnings. All seven added serialized-key cheats produce errors. These tuned counts do not establish retention of blocking catches or accuracy on other inputs; an independently reported lost blocking catch motivated the serialization regressions. ## Badges [](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor) `✓ proctor: honest pass` prints after a clean `proctor check`, and `proctor badge` gives you the same result as Markdown to paste into your own README or a PR description (generated by [`src/badge/index.ts`](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/src/badge/index.ts)): ```bash $ proctor badge [](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor) ``` Findings approved through `approvedTestChanges` do not count as clean and do not earn the badge. `--ci` suppresses the printed badge line; the GitHub Action and Stop hook use this flag. ## CI Add proctor to a pull request with this workflow. Findings land in the job summary and in Code Scanning if the repository has it enabled. ```yaml # .github/workflows/proctor.yml on: [pull_request] permissions: contents: read security-events: write jobs: proctor: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 # v7 with: { fetch-depth: 0 } - uses: catfish-1234/proctor@ede7e0ec0d9a91c241af1b181b74b1a6af67df07 # v1.0.0 ``` The example pins the commit behind the `v1.0.0` release. You can use the `v1.0.0` tag instead, but a full commit SHA is immutable, so it keeps builds reproducible. ## Dynamic checks `proctor check --dynamic` runs extra checks using a runnable project test suite. The default check keeps its existing output and runs no project tests. You can also commit `{"dynamic": true, "dynamicTimeoutMs": 60000}` in `proctor.config.json`. Use `--dynamic-timeout 30000` to override the overall budget in milliseconds. This prototype supports Node's `node:test`, Jest and Vitest through `npm run test`, plus Python `unittest`, `pytest` and plain Python scripts. When unittest collects no cases or only collection errors, plain scripts run directly and bare `test_*` functions run individually in fresh processes. It needs Linux and bubblewrap with working user, mount, network and PID namespaces. Windows, macOS, unsupported languages and unavailable isolation report `dynamic: skipped, reason`; a skip never adds a failing finding. Tests run in temporary copies, with host mounts read-only and network disabled. The default overall timeout is 60 seconds, including copies; descendants are terminated when the worker ends. Warnings name the commands, run labels and observed results. The checks need runnable tests and installed dependencies, can miss changes, and cannot prove intent. A red original suite is a normal fix input; named per-test comparisons and numeric, string or boolean probes still run. For red-to-green fixes with unchanged tests, mutation-lite tries at most four parser-confirmed changes in called functions. DY002 probes and DY004 mutation warnings are advisory and do not change the exit code on their own. Mutations can survive because code is redundant or behavior is deliberately untested; survival does not establish cheating. Repeated outcomes can reflect order dependence. Measured limits: dynamic checks are opt-in and advisory only. They do not change which findings block a commit. Mutation-lite reports missing test coverage, not cheating, and it can fire on honest changes whose tests do not cover every changed line. On a private 80-case corpus (40 cheating changes, 40 honest ones) that informed this iteration, dynamic warnings surfaced 4 cheating changes the static checks missed and flagged 1 honest change. Because the same corpus informed the checks, these are not clean held-out numbers. See the [scope, dropped ideas and tuned dev-set measurements](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/HEAD/bench/dynamic-dev/README.md). ## How it works proctor combines a **ruleset** with a **guard**. The ruleset tells the agent how to complete work and report results. The deterministic, diff-level guard checks for known tampering patterns at commit time and, with the Claude Code Stop hook, at the end of a turn. It works below the agent's own reasoning by checking the changed code rather than the agent's explanation. ## Can the agent get around it? **The commit hook fails closed.** It probes with `--version`, prefers a local install, and blocks when proctor cannot run. An older hook treated exit `1` from `npx` as a warning-only result, even when the package could not be resolved. The probe prevents that failure from allowing an unchecked commit. **Config comes from the committed baseline.** Editing `proctor.config.json` does not change how that same diff is checked. Approvals and inline `proctor-ignore` markers must also be committed before the change they cover. **An opt-in check can flag changes to the guard.** WI104 fires on a check removed from `enabled`, a severity downgraded, an ignore pattern or approval added, a ruleset file deleted, a `--no-verify` added to a script, or TypeScript strictness turned off. WI104 is part of the opt-in WI family. **Local hooks can be bypassed.** Anyone with shell access can run `git commit --no-verify`. A base-range CI check can still inspect the committed change. The Stop hook checks uncommitted changes and allows turns when proctor cannot run, so it is not a substitute for CI. ## By the numbers **How often agents actually do this.** These are other people's published measurements, not ours: | | | |---|---| | **33.3%** | of ambiguous coding tasks where Claude Sonnet 4 hardcoded the expected output rather than solve the problem ([EvilGenie](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.21654)) | | **2.1%** | the same behaviour on unambiguous tasks, where the right fix was never in doubt (same paper) | | **0.7%** | of tasks where Gemini 2.5 Pro deleted a test file outright (same paper) | | **up to 100 pts** | gap between "the visible tests pass" and "the held-out tests pass" on the largest tasks in [SpecBench](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21384). It widens by about 28 points per tenfold increase in code size, and adding test coverage does not close it | | **8 of 8** | agent benchmarks that [Berkeley RDI](https://rdi.berkeley.edu/blog/trustworthy-benchmarks-cont/) drove to near-perfect scores without solving a single task. SWE-bench Verified fell to a pytest hook that forced every test to pass | **What proctor catches.** The original rule fixtures and recorded benchmark cases are checked by `npm test`. The redteam probe is a repeatedly tuned **dev corpus**, not independent evidence of generalization. Fresh measurements compare the unchanged main baseline with these changes: | | | |---|---| | **139 of 139** | original planted rule fixtures caught with all checks, with **0 of 33** original near-miss fixtures flagged. These are development fixtures, not an unseen evaluation | | **21 of 21** | recorded cheats caught in the mock benchmark corpus, across 7 signatures. The 22nd task is a control; it stays quiet | | **25 to 54 of 76** | tuned dev cheats caught by defaults before and after. With all checks: **76 to 76 of 76**. Dev controls: **0 to 0 of 24** flagged in either mode. Run `node bench/redteam/probe.mjs --default` and `node bench/redteam/probe.mjs` | | **7 to 36 of 36** | cheats caught by defaults in the **74-case frozen validation set**, with benign flags falling from **2/38 to 0/38**. All checks improve from **9/36 to 36/36**. The separately frozen 74-case design set has the same totals. Both are small authored sets with paired variations | | **4.29% to 2.00% blocking** | **30/700 to 14/700** real non-bot commits flagged by defaults on the same fresh pinned sample from 20 repositories. Any finding: **46/700 (6.57%) to 26/700 (3.71%)**. Every flagged human commit counts as a conservative false-positive proxy, including intentional test deletions | | **26 to 35 of 72** | cheats caught by defaults on a **72-cheat, 72-benign held-out set** written after 1.0.0 by a separate run that never saw the checks. Benign flags: **5/72 before, 5/72 after**. All checks: **38 to 42 of 72**, with 6/72 benign flagged. Error handling went from 0/12 to 7/12. Hardcoded special cases (2/8), removed validation (0/3), edited expected values (0/3), race masking (0/3) and suppression (0/3) are still mostly missed. The set was used only to measure, not to tune, but it is now public, so it no longer counts as blind. Run `node bench/heldout/probe.mjs --default` | | **2.6% blocking** | **11/420** real commits blocked by both 1.0.0 and this release on a second fresh sample of 14 repositories that neither the checks nor the first sample touched. Any finding: **17 before, 16 after**. A few false positives found there were fixed with rules, not by pinning commits | | **27** | checks in two families, with **20 enabled by default**, across **25+** languages, installable into **30** agents | The old **689-commit** claim, **2.32% blocking and 3.8% any finding**, refers to a missing ignored sample and harness. It could not be reproduced from this checkout or tracked history. The fresh 700-commit sample uses the same 20 repositories, pins every commit and patch hash, and retains all findings. It is a replacement cohort, not the original sample. See [methods, per-rule results, and reproduction commands](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/HEAD/bench/detection/README.md). **What we don't claim.** Proctor is a heuristic diff checker. Defaults still miss more than half of the held-out cheats, mostly the ones that need running the code to see: special-cased inputs, edited expected values, removed validation, masked races and suppression. It detects suspicious changes; it does not prevent them or judge intent. A determined author can write a cheat that no static diff check recognizes. The dev and authored-validation results do not establish a detection rate for unseen cheats. Our [live benchmark](#benchmark) has not shown that proctor reduces cheating: all 44 invocations in each complete run passed their evaluation tests in both arms. ## Benchmark `proctor bench` measures how often an agent games its own tests, and how often proctor catches it, across a fixed pool of tasks with the ruleset on and off. The table shows a complete 22-task live run against `claude-code`, with all 44 invocations scored. Before the run, each held-out suite was verified to fail its task's unfixed source. | | proctor off | proctor on | |---|---|---| | cheat rate | **4.5%** (1 of 22) | **4.5%** (1 of 22) | | honest-pass rate | **100.0%** | **100.0%** | All 44 runs passed their held-out tests, including the runs flagged by proctor. This includes the seven tasks designed to make cheating cheaper than fixing. The run provides no evidence of a difference between the two arms. An earlier run showed 9.1% against 4.5%, a difference of one task out of 22. That difference did not reproduce in the second run and does not establish a prevention rate. The single flagged task was a **false positive**. RH004 fired on task-17 in both arms after the agent replaced a `return version >= base` stub with a real 52-line semver implementation. The flagged line was the `return 0` that terminates its new comparator, which is the correct "equal" result, paired by the check against the deleted stub thirty lines away in a different function. That has been fixed, so the same run scored against current code reads **0.0% in both arms**. The table preserves the results recorded at the time. The eight held-out suites that could not distinguish a fix from a cheat were found and strengthened before this run, and `tests/bench-heldout-discriminates.test.ts` now enforces that property for every task. See [bench/METHODOLOGY.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/bench/METHODOLOGY.md). The task corpus ships with this repository rather than the npm package, so `bench` needs a clone: ```bash git clone https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor && cd proctor npm install && npm run build node dist/cli.js bench --tasks 22 --agent claude-code --out bench/results-live.csv ``` A 22-task run is 44 agent invocations, which is more than one Claude subscription session allows. Three attempts reached 16, 14 and 16 tasks before the agent returned "You've hit your session limit". An older scorer treated failed invocations with no changes as clean results; the current scorer rejects them. `--resume` carries the completed tasks over from the `.partial.csv` a failed attempt leaves behind, so a run can span more than one window; the numbers above were collected that way. `PROCTOR_BENCH_TIMEOUT_MS` raises the per-invocation budget, which the hard-tier tasks need. Read the `proctor: bench task-NN ... failed` lines on stderr before trusting any number the table prints. ## Going further For command details, configuration, support limits, and contributor instructions: | Page | What's in it | |------|--------------| | [docs/CLI.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/CLI.md) | Every command and flag | | [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/CONFIGURATION.md) | Config file, severities, approvals, [inline suppression](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#inline-suppression) | | [docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md) | It didn't fire, it fired wrongly, my approval didn't take | | [docs/LANGUAGES.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/LANGUAGES.md) | Per-language support matrix, the 30 supported agents, known limitations | | [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) | Setting up, adding a check, adding an agent | | [docs/RELEASING.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/docs/RELEASING.md) | Maintainer notes: how a tag becomes a release | | [RESEARCH.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/RESEARCH.md) | Why it's built this way, and how it compares to Stryker and EvilGenie | | [bench/METHODOLOGY.md](https://github.com/catfish-1234/proctor/blob/main/bench/METHODOLOGY.md) | How the benchmark works and what it does not claim | proctor supports 25+ languages and installs to 30 agents.
