In detail: Attention Span scores 19.6/100 (Grade D), ranked #382 of 385 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage D (1 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; no OSSF Scorecard result yet; 7% of recent commits are signed; last pushed 2026-10-12. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

How Attention Span could raise its score

Each line changes one public signal and recomputes with the live scoring function. The gains don't add up exactly, because the score is capped near the top.

Chain of custody

Scanners check what the code says. This traces who ships Attention Span and whether that has changed: from the source repository, through how changes are reviewed and released, to the code you run. These are the checks for OWASP ASI04 Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities and, for skills, AST02 Supply Chain Compromise.

  1. Source Partly signed

    github.com/alexgreensh/attention-span, AGPL-3.0, last pushed 2026-10-12. 7% of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature; the rest can't be tied to a verified identity.

  2. Review and release Not checked

    No OpenSSF Scorecard result yet, so branch protection, code review and release signing are unverified.

  3. Published packages None

    No registry package. Attention Span is used from its repository, so what you run is whatever you check out: pin a release tag or commit.

Changes to this chain

No change to package provenance, package source links, Scorecard coverage or license in HVTracker's daily snapshots of Attention Span.

Evidence behind this score

  • Package downloads (missing)
  • Supply-chain checks (missing)
  • Public actions (missing)
  • Community mentions (missing)

Verify this score yourself

Every build re-issues Attention Span’s score as an Ed25519-signed credential, valid for 7 days. You can check it offline against HVTracker’s published key; if anyone changes a number after signing, verification fails.

Signed credential (JSON) How to verify

What this score doesn’t check

It covers who ships the code, not what the code does. It doesn’t read the skill’s instructions for injected instructions, watch runtime behaviour, or find bugs nobody has disclosed yet. For that, run a content scanner before you install it, such as Cisco Skill Scanner.

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage D is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (1 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Common questions about Attention Span

Public trust evidence for Attention Span is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.
Does Attention Span publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Attention Span. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does Attention Span have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Attention Span. Maintainers can enable the Scorecard GitHub Action to get a public score; without it, automated supply-chain hygiene is harder for outsiders to verify.
Is Attention Span actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 3 day(s).
What license does Attention Span use?
Attention Span ships under AGPL-3.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Attention Span's commits signed?
7% of the last 100 commits to Attention Span are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.

Maintain Attention Span?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Attention Span from public signals only — we never contact maintainers first. If a signal is wrong, stale, or missing (provenance you publish, a Scorecard you run, signed releases), tell us and we'll review it. Corrections are public and tracked on GitHub.
