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.
TL;DR
This skill assists technical leads and architects in conducting simplification audits to reduce systemic bloat. It focuses on the evidence-backed deletion of dead code, duplicate state, and redundant API layers that no longer serve a functional purpose.
By identifying ownerless abstractions and obsolete design records, the tool helps teams consolidate over-engineered components and reclaim codebase clarity without focusing on style or performance tuning.
