In Agent Skills

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade C reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage C is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (2 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Does Claude Red have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

Claude Red has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 6.2/10. 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 Claude Red actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 7 day(s).

What license does Claude Red use?

Claude Red ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Claude Red's commits signed?

79% of the last 100 commits to Claude Red 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.
