Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

Its card, with similar plugins by marketplace

What each says it does

tech-spec

In its own words, on Community GitHub marketplaces:

Writes a typed call-stack architecture handoff: code-shaped contracts plus execution flows, implementation-ready for another engineer. User-invoked only. Not for weighing approaches or deciding the design; use architecture first.

io.github.einvoice-dev1/archsteer

In its own words, on Official MCP Registry:

Architecture governance for AI agents: query the live model, get target patterns, check files.

How to run each

tech-spec

No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

io.github.einvoice-dev1/archsteer As a local MCP server: PyPI package
