OSS Sustain Guard

Multi-language package sustainability analyzer - Evaluate your dependencies' health with 21 metrics including Contributor Redundancy, Maintainer Retention, and Security Signals.

✨ Globally Distributed Cache - Instant results via Cloudflare KV with local fallback caching.

📌 Quick Notes:

• Instant results - Popular packages served from global Cloudflare KV cache (no API calls needed)
• SSL verification - Use --insecure flag to disable SSL verification for development/testing only
• Package resolution - If a package cannot be resolved to a GitHub repository, it will be skipped with a notification
• Full documentation - https://onukura.github.io/oss-sustain-guard/

💡 Project Philosophy

OSS Sustain Guard is designed to spark thoughtful conversations about open-source sustainability, not to pass judgment on projects. Our mission is to raise awareness about the challenges maintainers face and encourage the community to think together about how we can better support the open-source ecosystem.

We believe that:

• 🌱 Sustainability matters - Open-source projects need ongoing support to thrive
• 🤝 Community support is essential - For community-driven projects, we highlight funding opportunities to help users give back
• 📊 Transparency helps everyone - By providing objective metrics, we help maintainers and users make informed decisions
• 🎯 Respectful evaluation - We distinguish between corporate-backed and community-driven projects, recognizing their different sustainability models
• 💝 Supporting maintainers - When available, we display funding links for community projects to encourage direct support

This tool is meant to be a conversation starter about OSS sustainability, not a judgment. Every project has unique circumstances, and metrics are just one part of the story.

🎯 Key Features

• 21 Sustainability Metrics - Comprehensive evaluation across maintainer health, development activity, community engagement, project maturity, and security
• Optional Dependents Analysis - Downstream dependency metrics (informational, not affecting total score)
• 5 CHAOSS-Aligned Models - Risk, Sustainability, Community Engagement, Project Maturity, and Contributor Experience
• Category-Weighted Scoring - Balanced 0-100 scale evaluation across 5 key sustainability dimensions
• Multi-Language Support - Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, PHP, Java, Kotlin, C#, Ruby
• Time Series Analysis - Track package health trends over time, compare snapshots, generate reports
• Community Support Awareness - Displays funding links for community-driven projects
• Globally Distributed Cache - Cloudflare KV-based data delivery with local user cache fallback
• CI/CD Integration - GitHub Actions, Pre-commit hooks
• Zero Configuration - Works out of the box
