Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of real attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
This skill helps technical leads and architects simplify repositories by finding deletion candidates that static analysis tools often miss. It focuses on proving real consumers, dynamic entrypoints, and compatibility obligations to ensure code is safely removed.
By analyzing duplicate representations and speculative surfaces, the tool provides an evidence-backed method for collapsing redundant APIs and reclaiming maintainability in any language or stack.
WHO IT'S FOR
Technical leads / architects
reduce over-engineering and redundancy in repositories
Backend / infrastructure engineers
remove dead or abandoned code beyond static analysis
Platform / DevEx teams
implement evidence-backed simplification passes across stacks
AI agent / automation builders
automate the identification and removal of code entropy
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.
