osolmaz / skillflag
A simple CLI flag convention for listing and installing agent skills. Bundle and publish your tool's skill directly with your package, without the need for a skill registry!
osolmaz/skillflag holds a health index of 63 out of 100, placing it in the Moderate band. It scores highest on AI Readiness (83/100) and lowest on Security (38/100). It was last updated 51 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 59 is calibrated to 63 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.
