Why this score

This repo hosts 10 subagents, so its 147 stars are split between them (about 15 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 61/100 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

2. Cross-reference at least 2 independent sources
3. Return a structured summary in this exact format:

**Key Findings** (3–5 bullets)
- [finding 1]
- [finding 2]

**Sources**
- [URL 1] — [one-line description]
- [URL 2] — [one-line description]

**Gaps & Uncertainties**
- [anything you couldn't confirm or that needs deeper investigation]

Be concise. Return findings only. Do not explain your search process.

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit f5a11f2e5074, 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
