EDAForge
EDAForge is a data-quality auditor renamed mid-flight, still finding its CRAN footing.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Prowler and Statsig — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Prowler's assistant decides what to do with findings; the patches keep the scanner honest
Prowler is shipping a minor release roughly weekly with patches filling the gaps. The agentic layer, Lighthouse, has moved from explaining findings to acting on them, with named skills attached to individual findings and every write path bound to the asking user's RBAC. Alongside that, 5.39.1 fixes an install path that had been quietly broken: 5.38.0 declared a cryptography floor its own dependencies capped below, so pip install prowler silently resolved back to 5.37.1.
Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.
Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.

Two tracks run in parallel and rarely overlap. The minor releases push the commercial agentic surface forward — triage skills, page context, the MCP tool set — while the patches defend the parts everyone uses: dependency resolution, container CVEs, and check correctness. That second track matters more than its version numbers suggest, because a security scanner reporting PASS when an API call failed is worse than one that errors. 5.39.1 fixes exactly that in the ECS task-definition checks, and makes the SES public-access check evaluate every identity policy rather than stopping at the first.
Expect the next minor to extend Lighthouse skills to groups of findings rather than one at a time, with patch releases continuing to absorb Trivy and base-image CVE churn.

The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.
The direction is agent-operated experimentation. MCP covering segments and layers means an agent can configure targeting, and the skills repository means the multi-step workflows around that configuration are distributable artifacts rather than documentation. Statsig is betting the console is not where experiments get set up much longer.
Expect the skills catalog to grow toward the analysis side — reading experiment results and proposing rollout decisions, not just creating objects. The query-abort work suggests warehouse cost control is a live concern as agent-driven usage increases.
