spine-recon
Backend reconnaissance — map all routes, middleware, models, dependencies, auth, and assess code quality for project takeover. Use when asked to "understand this backend", "map the API", or "assess code quality".
npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill spine-recon --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the spine-recon skill do?
Backend reconnaissance — map all routes, middleware, models, dependencies, auth, and assess code quality for project takeover. Use when asked to "understand this backend", "map the API", or "assess code quality".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill spine-recon --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
