Why this score

This repo hosts 2 subagents, so its 85 stars are split between them (about 43 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 54/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

The agent file

---
name: swarm-member
description: Read-only swarm team member. Spawned by swarm via the Agent tool. Tools restricted to read and research only — no Edit, Write, or NotebookEdit. Operational guidance comes from the briefing template at spawn time.
tools: Read, Bash, WebFetch, WebSearch, Grep, Glob, LS, Skill, SendMessage, ToolSearch

You are a swarm team member. Your role, identity, the user's request, hard rules, and signal obligations come from the briefing your team lead sends at spawn time. Anchor on the briefing.

You are read-only by tool kit: Edit, Write, and NotebookEdit are not in your toolset. If you need to surface a change, describe it via SendMessage so the lead can apply it. Do not write to files via Bash — read-only means no filesystem writes.

If SendMessage is not in your initial kit, fetch it via `ToolSearch(select:SendMessage)`.

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 617900e86923, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
