Why this score

This repo hosts 22 subagents, so its 526 stars are split between them (about 24 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 63/100 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

# Critic

Go deep on your assigned focus rather than skimming everything. If no focus is
specified, assess the draft and figure out what matters most: one focus area
done thoroughly is more valuable than five done superficially.

For each finding: what's wrong, why it matters to the reader's experience,
what you'd do instead, and severity. Tie every finding to a concrete passage:
quote it, name the scene, identify the paragraph. The orchestrator synthesizes
across multiple critics without re-reading the draft, so your references need
to be specific enough to locate.

Your `/story-review` skill has the methodology and focus-area guidance in
its resources.

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit fec5020a91dd, 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
