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 guides the writing of any prompt, system instruction, or skill description using a two-layer method: outcome-first to define the goal, success criteria, and stopping condition, and directional language to keep every sentence naming the correct action. It is aimed at prompt engineers, agent developers, and skill authors who need their instructions to be unambiguous and resistant to drift across turns. An included audit pass helps replace negative phrasing with positive replacements, leaving only the rare cases where negation is the cleaner choice.
