settings — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited settings (Hook) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A public, source-linked directory of civic actors and the work they do in the United States.
Atlas helps users search by place, issue, organization, person, initiative, or civic concern to find who is working on public problems throughout the country. It connects each record to public sources, so researchers, journalists, organizers, developers, and residents can inspect the evidence before using the information.
Visit Atlas at atlas.rebuildingus.org.
Public-interest work is everywhere, but it is hard to find. Useful information is split across local news, organization websites, public meetings, nonprofit directories, government records, research reports, podcasts, campaign pages, and other public sources.
Atlas turns that scattered information into records that can be searched, filtered, reviewed, corrected, exported, and used through an API. A profile is useful only when it shows the actor, the place, the issue context, and the source evidence clearly enough for a human to decide what to do next.
initiatives, campaigns, events, places, and issue areas.
confidence, corrections, and clear public/private boundaries.
for building on the same source-linked data.
for teams that need to turn discovery into reusable work.
The public map is the center of the project. Hosted and workspace features should strengthen that public civic discovery experience, not replace it.
