Questions, answered from the data.
What is the best software architecture skill?
Nestjs Best Practices from rolling-scopes/rsschool-app ranks first of the 280 software architecture skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 10k GitHub stars, 6 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 1.2k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Archify Diagrams and Electron Multi-Process Architecture.
Which software architecture skills are official?
18 of the 280 software architecture skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Code Graph Mermaid Diagrams, Create Vibe Feature, Architect Before Implementing, How Does This Work Explainer, Architecture Review and 13 more.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
