Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
This skill provides technical guidance on the structural approach of a software project. It assists architects and technical leads in evaluating tech stack choices, analyzing operating-cost tradeoffs, and conducting benchmark research against similar real-world projects.
Designed for use across the development lifecycle, it offers architecture critiques and prioritized improvement plans to ensure a project's direction is technically sound before or during construction.
WHO IT'S FOR
Technical leads / architects
validate architecture and tech stack choices
AI agent / automation builders
integrate project planning into AI workflows
Software engineers
research comparables and benchmark real-world projects
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Known requirements and constraints such as budget, hosting, and timeline
Use the advise-project-approach skill to help plan this software project: [brief project idea]. My current stage is pre-build, my relevant experience is [background], and my known requirements or constraints are [requirements, budget, hosting, timeline, and other constraints]. Produce a small first result: identify any material missing information, then recommend an initial approach with one credible alternative, key tradeoffs, reversal conditions, and the first practical action with observable acceptance criteria. Do not modify files or begin implementation.
