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 (64).

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
Show a quick-start snippet so contributors can see what using your project looks like.
- 4README12pt
Link to a deployed version, docs site, or demo video. Users want to see it running.
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

No license detected.
→ Add a LICENSE file. Without one, nobody can legally use, copy, or contribute to your code.
Contributing guide is too short for full depth credit (−6 pts). 400+ words earns the full +12 pts.
→ Add setup instructions, code style notes, and how to run tests.
README is present.
README documents how to install the project.

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.

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 .gitignore found (−60 pts).
→ Add a .gitignore to keep build output, node_modules, and secrets out of version control.
