- Save substantial output as a markdown document if applicable
Practices
- Product Discovery
- Ideation Frameworks

- warning:Issues AttentionIn the last 90 days, 8 issues were opened and 0 were closed. This indicates a very low closure rate and potentially slow response to issues.
Versioning
- warning:Release ManagementThere is no clear versioning signal (e.g., semver in frontmatter, GitHub releases) and the installation instructions reference `main`, making it difficult to pin a specific version.
