Total Score
healthy
Healthy, with a repository-package mismatch and highly concentrated recent contributions as notable caveats.
Health Score Breakdown
One contributor made about 81% of recent commits, so maintenance depends heavily on a single person despite seven other contributors being active.
The repository name differs from the package name and its README does not mention this package, leaving the package-to-source relationship less transparent than expected for a dependency.
All five workflows were analyzed with no untrusted checkout or script-injection findings and all action references pinned; one high-confidence low-severity finding reports installing a package outside a lockfile, which is a limited hygiene concern.
