Our assessment of onboard
onboard scores 80/100 on our quality scale, 2260th of 3,054 Automation skills we index.
We have not analysed the Claude Commands file itself yet, so the content part of this score is an estimate until our crawler reaches it.
With 1,090 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 4 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- 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 86/100, with 1 caution 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.
