Long-term technology stack review using State of JS, State of CSS, and Thoughtworks Technology Radar — satisfaction×usage matrix, ADOPT/TRIAL/ASSESS/HOLD mapping, P0–P3 migration priority.

  • Works in 6 steps: Inventory current stack → State of JS/CSS mapping → Technology Radar mapping → …
  • Annual stack audits
  • SKILL.md covers Data Sources, Step 1 — Inventory current stack, Step 2 — State of JS/CSS mapping and Step 3 — Technology Radar…, plus 6 more sections

What it does

Tech Trend Watch is an agent skill from mizchi/skills. Long-term technology stack review using State of JS, State of CSS, and Thoughtworks Technology Radar — satisfaction×usage matrix, ADOPT/TRIAL/ASSESS/HOLD mapping, P0–P3 migration priority. Use for annual stack audits, planning major migrations (jest→vitest, webpack→Vite, etc.), or on-demand replacement decisions. Not for general architecture design.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing. It works with Jest, Vite, Vitest and webpack. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills by mizchi, distributed via APM.

When your agent uses it

  • Annual stack audits
  • Planning major migrations (jest→vitest
  • On-demand replacement decisions

Example prompts

  • “/tech-trend-watch”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory current stack
  2. State of JS/CSS mapping
  3. Technology Radar mapping
  4. Cross-reference and prioritize
  5. Migration candidate evaluation
  6. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62f5808. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • vitest
    • jest

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • assets.devographics.com

    Also links to:

    • stateofjs.com
    • stateofcss.com
    • thoughtworks.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tech Trend Watch loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 697 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 697 words (~1,847 tokens).

“Fetch the latest edition of each before starting the review. State of JS/CSS also publish a public JSON API:”
