vinta/hal-9000Skill
Use when about to refactor or refine an existing skill, its SKILL.md or sibling files, from a full restructure down to a one-line wording fix; a change that looks too small to need this skill is not an exemption. Not for creating a skill from scratch
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 140 stars are split between them (about 14 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 60/100 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 Oct 20, 2026 at commit 2c681049f753, 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
