In Coding Agents

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 →

Is prime-agent safe?

Public trust evidence for prime-agent 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 prime-agent publish package provenance?

No published build provenance is currently detected for prime-agent. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.

Does prime-agent have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for prime-agent. 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 prime-agent actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).

What license does prime-agent use?

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

Are prime-agent's commits signed?

100% of the last 100 commits to prime-agent 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 prime-agent?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores prime-agent 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.
