To be fair allium is genuinely impressive, I checked it out and the custom language approach and autonomous tend/weed agents are more sophisticated than what I'm doing with this skill. The tradeoff I made deliberately was to use standard markdown files that any AI tool can read without installing anything. Allium's .allium format requires the skill to be installed to be useful; The requirements.md should work in any editor, any agent, any CI pipeline.

Also, context rot on large specs is a real limitation. I added a lightweight CONTEXT.md journal but nothing close to proper context rotation. That's filed for v2.0.

I'd also like to thank you so much for taking your time to revise this show HN and express that I appreciate your feedback.
