Grades a repository's GitHub Actions configuration against CI best practices (the CI Score: eleven pass/fail configuration facts computed from the repo's own workflow YAML) and hands back concrete fixes for every gap, ranked by impact and risk, each with an apply-now option and a paste-able agent prompt. Use when: (1) the user asks to grade or score their CI, or audit CI configuration against best practices ("grade my CI", "CI score", "CI best practices audit", "how healthy is my CI config")…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ci-score

**CI Score gauges best-practice adherence on CI speed and gate hygiene: a
straightforward pass/fail rubric of best-practice checks computed from a
repo's workflow configuration.** Eleven configuration facts, each
self-verifiable in the repo's own YAML in under a minute; score = checks
passed / applicable; one refusal (no workflows to check). Registry:
[references/ci-score-spec.json](references/ci-score-spec.json) (frozen
v0.1.6); rubric write-up:
[references/ci-score-methodology.md](references/ci-score-methodology.md).

The score measures **adherence, not speed** — measured, faster repos can
hold lower scores. The report says this beside the card; never let a user
read the score as a speed verdict. Nor is it a **security audit**: the
rubric grades best practices, and exactly two of its eleven checks
(action pinning, job-scoped OIDC tokens) happen to be security-related —
it claims nothing further about workflow security.

## Requirements

- **A full local checkout of the target repo.** The score reads three
  input classes — workflow YAML, local composite actions, and repo-root
  build-tool configs — so a partial view (an API fetch of workflows alone)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add starslingdev/skills/ci-score@sha256:c340dc14aa7341b5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.edadda0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
