📊 Optimizer Dashboard

Visual overview of all profiles with brand icons, usage stats, CLI dependencies, and token budgets.

🔍 Smart Detection

cue init scans your project and suggests the right profile. Auto-detect Next.js, Docker, Medusa, etc.

🏥 Doctor & Audit

Detect drift, find unused skills, check CLI dependencies, lint skill quality. Keep profiles lean.
