This repo hosts 34 subagents, so its 163 stars are split between them (about 5 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 56/100 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

  • Run shell commands
  • Edit and write files
  • Read and search files

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit 56f2c75cb03e, 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
