How We Measure Tool Health

ToolVitals tracks Gin's health using commit recency, sustained activity across rolling windows, contributor continuity, and a small release-cadence signal. Evidence confidence limits strong claims but does not raise the score.

Health Score

Commit recency, activity in the last 30 days and prior 60 days, contributor continuity, and a small release signal.

Shipping Score

Recent and sustained commit volume, contributor activity, and a maximum 10% release-cadence contribution.
