jin-bo/agentaoSubagent
Explore a codebase: find files, search code patterns, and analyze the project structure. Use this agent for investigation tasks that do not change files.
Why this score
This repo hosts 2 subagents, so its 309 stars are split between them (about 155 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 69/100 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

Security
Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit 3b6938cb19fa, 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
