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 helps developers and hardware enthusiasts find reverse-engineered tools for systems that lack official APIs, SDKs, or drivers. It is designed for tasks requiring local control of closed-source devices or the integration of proprietary apps into open workflows.
By searching a curated index of verified projects, it enables users to interface with everything from IoT hardware and automotive APIs to specialized file formats like .psd or .dwg.
WHO IT'S FOR
IoT / Home automation enthusiasts
control closed-source devices locally without official APIs
Interoperability engineers
integrate closed apps or protocols into open workflows
Data analysts / Forensic researchers
read proprietary file formats without native software
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.
Python 3 and network access for the index search and README retrieval.
Make sure find-reverse-engineered is installed in your agent before trying this task.
Use find-reverse-engineered to find a Python tool for reading PSD files. First check whether an official API or SDK is sufficient. Search the index, read the most promising candidate's README, and recommend one project based on format-reading support, maintenance, and license. Include its repository URL and any limitations you find. Stop before installing or running candidate code.
