skill

| Explain how a subsystem, feature flow, or code path works, at the level a senior engineer onboarding onto it needs: architecture, runtime flow, where things live, and the gotchas. Simple questions are answered inline; complex ones fan out parallel read-only explorers and synthesize their traces into one coherent explanation. A critique mode adds fresh-context architectural review on top of the explanation. Read-only — it writes nothing. Use why for motivation and history. Trigger on "how does X work", "walk me through", "explain the architecture", "where should this live", or "/how".

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md states a limitation.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
