Our assessment of awesome-ai-coding-assistants-playbook
awesome-ai-coding-assistants-playbook scores 73/100 on our quality scale, 865th of 963 AI & Machine Learning skills we index.
Its Copilot Instructions is 15 KB long, well organised into 21 sections and no code examples: a thorough specification that gives an agent plenty to work with.
It has 8 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 5 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- Our last check on 2026-10-18 found the source still online.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 78/100, with 2 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.
