GradeF

Lots of room to improve. Start with a README and CI.

Higher than 10% of 5,156 graded repos

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 add 42 points.

    Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.

    CI/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.

    README12pt

    Expand with a description, install steps, usage, and examples.

    Add more sections (Overview, Install, Usage, Contributing) using ## headings.

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.
