How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned dodo-reach/apple-pi a composite score of 7.9 out of 10, placing it in the Silver tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 1.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'conditional' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation
It manages live Pi terminal sessions locally and over SSH, so first setup should stay on non-sensitive projects and least-privilege remote hosts; Utility is strongest for existing Pi users on macOS rather than the broader cross-platform coding-agent audience.
