Why this works

Shields.io badges drove organic discovery for Codecov, Snyk, and Dependabot. Same mechanic — different category.

📡
Every README is a billboard
Your repo's README is read by contributors, employers, users. One badge surfaces PullLight to all of them — passively.
⚡
Auto-updates, zero maintenance
The badge URL is live. It pulls fresh data every 5 minutes. You never update a screenshot or a count.
🔗
Click-through to your catch history
Badge links to your public repo page. Curious engineers click through, see real findings, and evaluate PullLight.
🏆
Social proof for your team
"Reviewed by PullLight" signals code quality. Shows contributors their PRs are read carefully before merge.

Three states, automatic

One badge URL. The state is determined from your repo's install status and review history — no query params needed.
