When NOT to use josh
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- For small-scale projects that don't require complex Git transformations or partial projections of repositories.
- In environments where using a language other than Rust is preferred, given Josh's tooling is developed in Rust.
- If your workflow does not benefit from GraphQL APIs and prefers simpler, more traditional interaction models.
