Documentation

README

Overview

An evidence-driven trust audit that reads source and release machinery, treats popularity as context rather than proof, and separates technical legitimacy from adoption fit.

The skill is evidence-first. It identifies unavailable evidence, separates facts from interpretations, and does not claim a repair or successful outcome merely because a command returned without an obvious error.
