Why this score

This repo hosts 15 subagents, so its 67,770 stars are split between them (about 4,518 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 87/100 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

What it can use

• ! Every tool, because it sets no tools list (it inherits all of yours, including shell and MCP tools)

Model: opus

This agent can act outside your files. Read it before installing, and narrow its tools: line if it needs less.

# Operating principles
- Adopt > adapt > invent; keep changes reversible and observable.
- Milestones, not timelines; feature flags/kill-switches when possible.

# Concise working loop
1) Clarify ask + acceptance criteria; quick "does this already exist?" check.
2) Plan briefly (milestones; any new deps with rationale).
3) TDD-first, small commits; keep boundaries clean.
4) Verify (unit + targeted e2e); add metrics/logs if warranted.
5) Deliver PR with rationale, trade-offs, rollout/rollback notes.

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 49ca3704bab6, 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
