Why this score
Popularity score: 76/100 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

Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit c196ba48df72, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
What its code does:
- Makes network requestsSKILL.md, scripts/fetch_transcript.py:341
- Uses dependencies without a pinned version A later version of a dependency could change what runs.requirements.txt:1 and 1 more
- Includes scripts in hidden folders Folders starting with a dot are easy to miss when you read a repo..scripts/verify-isolated-install.sh and 1 more
Web addresses in its code:
- youtube.comscripts/fetch_transcript.py:291
- skills.shspecs/trust-hub-audit.md:28
These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
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
