✓Plain Markdown skill files are portable across several coding agents
✓Audit mode can produce a punch list without changing source files
✓Twenty themes and 57 stated checks provide more structure than a vague style prompt
✓MIT licensing makes the staged open-source package inexpensive to test

✗Quality remains dependent on the underlying model and the clarity of the brief
✗Taste-oriented checks cannot replace usability research or accessibility testing
✗The study workflow intentionally refuses pixel clones and paid templates
✗Repository documentation and live claims could not be refreshed during this run

✗Kimi models still trail GPT-5 and Claude Opus 4.8 on the hardest coding evals
✗English documentation is thinner than the Chinese-language equivalents
✗Younger project than Claude Code or Codex CLI — fewer battle-tested integrations
✗Approval-mode defaults are permissive; you should tighten them before real work
✗Sub-agent orchestration is powerful but easy to burn tokens on
