For those who have named their skill
The Seal Bench
Bring your handle to the bench and strike your seal: highest rank, total skills, or a single named capability. Lift the impression straight into any README. The die re-cuts itself each release, so the seal always shows your current standing.
Bring your handle to the bench
Type your Gaia handle. The bench suggests known contributors as you go, and takes any handle you enter.
Why might my badge appear blank in my README?
If your repo isn’t registered yet, the badge stays “validating…” for up to 24h while caches roll. Load the badge URL in a new tab to confirm it’s live — if you see it there, only GitHub’s cache is stale.
