summary
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services describes a five‑tier repository maturity model, a Cookiecutter‑based CLI called repo scaffolder that asks five questions to assign tiers and generates required files, a GitHub Actions metrics pipeline that pushes weekly JSON to a frontend dashboard, and a Repolinter ruleset mapped to tiers that auto‑opens remediation issues. It covers tier checks (including OpenSSF Scorecard and Dependabot for tier 4), lists nine required markdowns, and serves an ecosystem of about 150 million users.
