Foundry Shields is a free badge-generation service for the FoundryVTT ecosystem. It mainly helps developers of systems, modules, and worlds generate shields.io badges for their projects. Its core value is not general-purpose CI/CD or code-quality checking, but turning compatibility information from FoundryVTT manifest files into visual badges that can be embedded in a README or project homepage.
The service supports two types of badges: Supported Foundry Version and Supported Game System. The former reads system.json, module.json, or world.json and displays a single version or version range based on FoundryVTT v10+ fields such as compatibility.minimum, compatibility.verified, and compatibility.maximum, or older fields such as minimumCoreVersion, compatibleCoreVersion, and coreVersion. The latter reads the relationships.systems, systems, or system fields in module.json/world.json, displays the game systems a module or world supports, and allows name formats such as Full, Foundry, Short, and Raw. It can also include system version requirements.
The barrier to entry is low: users only need to provide a raw link to the manifest file in a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or similar repository, and the page will generate a shields.io endpoint URL. Badge styles include Flat, Flat Square, Plastic, For The Badge, and Social. Strictly speaking, it offers URL endpoint integration; no SDK or complete API documentation appears to be available.
The main page clearly states that this is a free service, with no mention of subscriptions, request limits, paid features, or payment methods. The page also does not disclose whether it is open source, whether self-hosting is supported, deployment details, or any service SLA, so there is limited information about long-term reliability and controllability.
Its strengths are precise positioning, simple configuration, and compatibility with manifest field changes before and after FoundryVTT v10. It is especially convenient for developers maintaining multiple modules or systems. Its limitations are a very narrow feature scope, reliance on accessible raw manifest files and shields.io availability, and a limited mapping range for common game system names. It is best suited for FoundryVTT module authors, system authors, and world package maintainers who need project presentation and compatibility badges.
The main page does not provide information about access from mainland China, mirrors, or payment options, so china_access can only be marked as unknown. If access is unstable, alternatives include using a custom shields.io endpoint directly, self-hosting a small JSON endpoint, or generating static badges via GitHub Actions.
