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

This skill tailors resumes by researching the company and role, then running a conversational interview to surface undocumented achievements. It helps job applicants who need to optimize for specific roles—internal candidates, career switchers, and people with gaps—without fabricating anything.
