Groom

skill

Socratic pre-task refinement skill, the idea-shaping front door to the hackify workflow. Runs an interactive 1-or-2-forking-questions-per-turn conversation (NOT a batched wizard), reflects what the user said before each following question, and graduates to quick, the default build route, the moment the user signals build intent. Auto-discovery triggers, invoke this skill when the user prompt contains any of /hackify:groom, let's discuss, let's think, what if, groom, explore the idea, what do you think, considering, thinking about, or any open-ended idea-exploration phrasing that has no concrete build verb. …

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.
