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.
Description
This skill provides a framework to keep AI coding assistants focused on the requested task. It is designed for developers who need to prevent scope creep, speculative hardening, and the addition of unnecessary abstractions or dependencies during a build.
By applying these directives, users can ensure that bounded changes and review-only tasks remain focused, eliminating repeated audit loops and the tendency of models to overengineer solutions.
