Our assessment of hn

Maintenance, license and trust

• The repository was last updated about 8 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.

• Its trust signals score 74/100, 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.
