4.1 Cooling Magnitude out of 10. Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 14, 2026.

About the project

A set of small, composable skills for coding agents like Claude Code and Codex: they help align on a task before coding, build a shared project vocabulary, and follow a red-green-refactor loop.

Useful for

Run a /grill-me session so the agent asks questions before coding
Create a CONTEXT.md shared vocabulary via /grill-with-docs
Enable /tdd so the agent writes a failing test before implementing

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
