frankekn/george-hotz-skillsSkill
George Hotz–inspired radical-simplicity rules for coding. Load when refactoring, simplifying, or reviewing code; when a change is growing a new layer / abstraction / config flag / adapter; when a function is sprouting many parameters; or when you're about to assert code "works" without looking. Complexity is the enemy — remove before you add. Unofficial; distilled from George Hotz's public statements.
Why this score
Popularity score: 49/100 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 Nov 4, 2026 at commit 7867eb7d1577, 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
