Ownership and provenance evidence
- Source commit pinned: Yes
- Manifest digest verified: Yes
- Domain proof: No
- Publisher verified: No
- Owner verified on HOL: Yes, since 2026-07-02

GitHub activity
- Stars: 542
- Forks: 51
- Open issues: 3
- Last push: 2026-10-11
Fetched 2026-10-14. GitHub activity is context only and is not part of the Trust Score.
Attested installs: Fewer than 10 attested installs of this plugin in week 2026-W43, so no number is shown. Attested installs come from opt-in HOL Guard install reports, counted once per machine and runtime each week, and no number is shown below 10. Setup answers from visitors, GitHub stars and download counts from other directories are claims HOL cannot check, so they are labelled separately and never added in. Like GitHub activity, they are not part of the Trust Score.

Approval request: Boss (agent plugin) I would like to use this plugin. HOL publishes this evidence for it: - Trust Score: 87 out of 100 - Security label: review (30 findings, 0 high or critical) - Source: https://github.com/echoVic/boss-skill - Trust Score breakdown: https://hol.org/registry/plugins/echovic%2Fboss/trust - Recorded releases: https://hol.org/registry/plugins/echovic%2Fboss/releases - Methodology (version 2026-10-27): https://hol.org/plugins/trust-score A scan reads source files and manifests and does not run the plugin; it is not a safety guarantee. HOL Guard can enforce the team's decision on each developer machine: https://hol.org/guard
Limitations
The scan reads source files and manifests; it does not run the plugin. Score history starts on 23 October 2026 and covers the listings HOL records daily. Memberships, paid placements and upvotes are not inputs. See the full methodology for every rule, the versions HOL has recorded, or go back to Boss.
