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.

tashan Pro$6/mo

Pro adds the history to tashan doctor, so a run over your own config says which of yours gained an advisory, started running an install script, or lost its last maintainer — and what to move to.

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.
