Our assessment of dex
dex scores 29/100 on our quality scale, 4483rd of 4,595 Development & Engineering skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 1.5 KB long, written without headings and no code examples: moderately detailed.
It has no GitHub stars yet, so there is no community track record; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- We could not determine when the repository was last updated.
- 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 68/100, with 3 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.
