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.
- Our last check on 2026-10-21 found the source still online.
- It is released under GPL-3.0, a copyleft license: you can use it, but modified versions you distribute must carry the same license.
- Its trust signals score 90/100, 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.
