Some interest. A stronger README and CI would help.

A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code
Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to D (62).
See your top fixesTop fixes
Highest-impact changes first, ranked by point weight
- 1Tests18pt
Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.
- 2CI/CD14pt
If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
- 3README12pt
Add a GIF, screenshot, or logo image. It is the fastest way to show what your project does.
- 4README12pt
Show a quick-start snippet so contributors can see what using your project looks like.
Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.
The free GitHub App rescans this repo on every push and posts the grade as a commit check, so the score climbs without coming back to rescan by hand.

Documentation
56
Contributing guidance is in the README, not a dedicated CONTRIBUTING.md (−20 pts).
→ Moving it to a CONTRIBUTING.md makes it easier to find and keeps the README focused. A dedicated file earns +47 pts base.
No install instructions found in the README (−45 pts).
→ Add a section showing how to install dependencies.
README is present.

No tests detected anywhere in the repository.
→ Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.
No CI configuration detected in this repository.
→ If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
No linter or formatter config found.
→ Add a linter config such as .eslintrc.json, .prettierrc, ruff.toml, or .golangci.yml to enforce consistent code style.
No dependency lockfile found (−70 pts).
→ Commit the lockfile for this project's package manager so installs produce the same dependency versions everywhere.
No issue or PR templates found (−100 pts).
→ Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with bug_report.md and feature_request.md to guide contributors. It dramatically improves issue quality.
Project health
34
No dependency manifest detected at root.
→ Add a manifest (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.) so others can install dependencies in one command.
No pushes in over 2 years. Looks unmaintained (−95 pts).
→ A recent commit signals the project is alive and worth using.
No .gitignore found (−60 pts).
→ Add a .gitignore to keep build output, node_modules, and secrets out of version control.
