hyper0x / cmdguard
A safety net for dangerous shell commands — intercept rm, mv, chmod with configurable protection levels, automatic backup, and undo.
hyper0x/cmdguard holds a health index of 44 out of 100, placing it in the Weak band. It scores highest on Engineering Quality (78/100) and lowest on Community & Adoption (12/100). It was last updated 36 days ago. A single contributor accounts for most of its recent work.
Software health index
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.
Score profile
Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.
The weighted overall 46 is calibrated to 44 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).
Ownership
This repository is owned by a personal account. A single-owner project carries more continuity risk than an organization-backed one.
