Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 11,111 stars are split between them (about 1,111 each) for scoring.

Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 022f455c9c88, 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
