In detail: Auteur scores 40.7/100 (Grade D), ranked #346 of 384 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage B (3 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; OSSF Scorecard rates its supply-chain practices 3.9/10; recent commits are unsigned; no published advisory affects its latest release (auteur); last pushed 2026-08-06. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

How Auteur 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 Auteur and whether that has changed: from the source repository, through how changes are reviewed and released, to the package you install. These are the checks for OWASP ASI04 Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities and, for skills, AST02 Supply Chain Compromise.

  1. Source Unsigned

    github.com/agiwhitelist/auteur, MIT, last pushed 2026-08-06. None of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature, so no change traces to a verified identity.

  2. Review and release Weak

    OpenSSF Scorecard rates the repository's practices 3.9/10 (scanned Oct 30, 2026). The checks that decide who can get a change released:

  3. Published packages Not linked

    • npm auteur No source link declared No build attestation

    Without a build attestation, nothing proves the published files were built from this repository.

  4. What you install today No known advisories

    Latest release checked: auteur 0.1.6. No published advisory affects it (OSV, checked 2026-11-09).

Verify this score yourself

Every build re-issues Auteur’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.

Raise Scorecard signals Current OSSF Scorecard is 3.9/10. Tighten the weakest checks to improve public safety evidence.
Publish provenance Add package provenance or release attestations so users can verify where shipped artifacts came from.
Increase signed commits Raise the share of verified-signed commits to make maintainer identity and release history easier to trust.
Refresh maintenance signals The repo was last pushed 96 days ago. Fresh activity helps separate stable projects from stale ones.

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 B is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (3 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Common questions about Auteur

Public trust evidence for Auteur 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 Auteur publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Auteur. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does Auteur have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Auteur has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 3.9/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.
Is Auteur actively maintained?
Slowing down. Last push was 96 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.
What license does Auteur use?
Auteur ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Auteur's commits signed?
0% of the last 100 commits to Auteur 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 Auteur?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Auteur 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.
