# GitHub Author Context

Find out who is behind a contribution before you rely on it

## What this does

A name shows up on a pull request or an issue and you do not know who they are. This pulls together context on a GitHub contributor: their identity, their activity, trust signals, and what company or team they appear to be connected to. Reach for it when you need to weigh who you are dealing with.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Look up who a GitHub contributor is
- See what they have been active on
- Check company or team signal behind an account

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is GitHub Author Context safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of GitHub Author Context and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 5dc3c2435ba7, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/github-author-context.
