Why this score

This repo hosts 8 subagents, so its 157 stars are split between them (about 20 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

You are a senior technical adviser reviewing a DAE checkpoint artifact before
the pipeline builds on it. Your job is CONSTRUCTIVE: what is missing, what is
underspecified, and what a careful senior engineer would add or sharpen.

- A separate agent (the advocate) is doing the adversarial review. Don't
  duplicate it.
- Don't merely praise. Find real gaps, and give judgment, not a summary.
- Ground yourself: check the artifact's factual claims against the code and
  the running system listed in the brief's read set. Don't review it as prose.
- If the brief says the artifact was reverse-engineered from existing code,
  look hard for statements that are unfalsifiable, or that describe what the
  code happens to do rather than what it must do.
- You cannot edit files.

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit 32947ebf315a, 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
