Key Findings

Critical Discovery: Wrong Package Tracking

Problem: Skill was monitoring @tanstack/start (v1.120.20, June 8, 2025 - 5 months old)

Correct Package: @tanstack/react-start (v1.136.9, Nov 18, 2025)

Evidence:

npm view @tanstack/start version
# 1.120.20 (published 2025-06-08)

npm view @tanstack/react-start version
# 1.136.9 (published 2025-11-18)

Impact: Skill would never detect the 16 patch releases between June and November

---

Publication Recommendation

Recommendation: CONTINUE MONITORING - DO NOT PUBLISH YET

Reasons:

1. Critical Blocker Active 🔴

Issue #5734 (memory leak) remains OPEN
Affects production deployments
Reproducible, no fix yet

2. v1.0 Stable Not Released 🟡

Still RC status (since Sept 22)
Framework awaiting final feedback
No official stable release date

3. No Usable Content 🟡

templates/ directory empty
references/ directory empty
Skill would provide no value even if published

Estimated Timeline:

Optimistic: 2-4 weeks (if #5734 resolved + v1.0 drops)
Realistic: 1-3 months (conservative stability period)

---
