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.
TL;DR
nWave provides a rigorous methodology for building AI agents, moving from initial requirements analysis through iterative refinement. It establishes clear boundaries for agent creation to ensure consistency across complex automation workflows.
The system emphasizes quality control through specific critique dimensions, helping builders validate template compliance, safety protocols, and the purity of business language in acceptance tests.
