What problem does it solve? Choosing a tech stack or judging whether an existing project's architecture is right often relies on popularity and guesswork rather than evidence, leading to costly rewrites, surprise operating bills, and mismatched tooling. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-grounded stack and architecture advice: Gathers comparables, primary documentation, and official pricing pages before recommending anything, with every claim carrying a source and observed date. - Three review modes: Pre-build strategy for new ideas, mid-build course correction for repos in progress, and post-build review for finished or deployed projects. - Read-only repo inspection: Maps and samples repositories by size tier without installing dependencies, running code, or modifying anything, and reports secrets files without reading them. - Use Case: You describe a solo side project and ask which stack to use. The skill asks a short batch of intake questions, researches two comparable projects and real pricing, then delivers a recommendation with alternatives, cost scenarios, and the condition that would make it wrong. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to advise on the right stack and architecture for your project idea, or point it at a repository and request an approach review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right tech stack for a new software project?▼

Start by defining decision-critical facts like primary user, core workflow, budget, and deploy target, then compare at least two real comparable projects against those constraints. This skill gathers primary documentation and official pricing pages so the recommendation rests on evidence rather than popularity.

How to review whether an existing repository architecture is right?▼

Point the skill at your repo and it runs a read-only inspection: mapping the file tree, reading manifests, entry points, and key modules scaled to repo size. It then delivers a verdict with prioritized changes, comparable benchmarks, and the conditions that would change the verdict.

Does the repo review run my code or install dependencies?▼

No. The review is strictly read-only and never installs dependencies, runs tests, builds, or scripts without an explicit request. It also never modifies, commits, or pushes anything, and only reports the existence of secret files without reading them.

How are operating costs evaluated for a recommended stack?▼

Costs are analyzed across three scenarios: prototype, launch, and growth, covering buckets like egress, per-seat pricing, auth MAU, and enterprise-gated compliance. Verified prices get a source and observed date; unverified pricing is flagged rather than estimated.

When should I not use this project advisory approach?▼

It is not suited for single-bug debugging or isolated code edits, which need targeted fixes rather than strategy. It also cannot verify claims when external research is unavailable, in which case it proceeds on local evidence and marks conclusions provisional.
