Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Think Before Coding (Claude Skill)
Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs.
Before implementing:
- State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask rather than guess.
- Present multiple interpretations. If ambiguity exists, don't pick silently.
- Push back when warranted. If a simpler approach exists, say so.
- Stop when confused. Name what is unclear and ask for clarification.
Key Logic
LLMs often pick an interpretation silently and run with it. This Claude Skill forces explicit reasoning to ensure the path forward is aligned with user intent.
