Repo Adoption Gate -- Reuse Without the Roulette

A popular repository can still be the wrong dependency.

Repo Adoption Gate puts a reuse-first decision in front of every clone, install, or integration. It defines the actual job, checks live repository evidence, inspects license and installation risk, scans for hostile instructions and dangerous defaults, and compares adoption cost with a focused in-house build.

What you get

• Candidate discovery tied to your real environment
• Dated maintenance, release, license, runtime, and resource evidence
• Inspection of manifests, CI, install paths, security policy, and risky instructions
• A build-versus-reuse comparison that names adapter work and unknowns
• A transparent GO, MAYBE, or SKIP verdict
• A pinned, reversible integration plan after approval

Built from the operating principles behind RepoHunter without redistributing its source. It does not install candidates during evaluation, confuse stars with quality, or judge maintainers as people.

Pairs with Release Candidate Audit when an adopted dependency is headed toward a production release and needs an immutable-commit verdict.
