# Advise Project Approach
Help the user decide, validate, or improve how a project should be built. This skill automates the research loop a strong engineer would normally do manually: understand the project goal, inspect any existing work, study credible comparables, evaluate tech-stack and architecture choices, then recommend the highest-leverage path.
## Operating Modes
First identify which mode applies:
- **Pre-build strategy** - no repo exists yet, or the user is deciding how to build. Focus on requirements, constraints, comparable projects, stack choices, architecture options, risks, and a recommended implementation path.
- **Mid-build course correction** - a repo or partial implementation exists. Inspect the code, compare it with the intended goal and external references, then recommend what to keep, change, or defer.
- **Post-build review** - the project is mostly complete. Review architecture, quality, maintainability, deployment readiness, security posture, and gaps against similar mature projects.
Mode selection rule:
- No repo, folder, code, or URL means default to **pre-build strategy**.
- Any repo, folder, code excerpt, GitHub URL, or "I am building..." language means default to **mid-build course correction** unless the user says the project is finished, deployed, or ready for final review.
- Finished, deployed, production, launch-ready, or "review this completed project" language means default to **post-build review**.
