Engineering Decision Guide

Which Should You Choose: skeleton or stagehand?

✓ Choose skeleton If:

  • Your stack requires TypeScript standard tooling and runtime conventions.
  • Your team values targeted specialization.
  • You prioritize its MIT License licensing terms for proprietary enterprise distribution.
  • You need verified maintenance cadence (11.5/25 pts in velocity).

✓ Choose stagehand If:

  • Your application architecture is built around TypeScript.
  • You prefer its modular footprint and release update cadence (19.6/25 pts).
  • You want to take advantage of its documentation ecosystem (2.5/15 pts).
  • Your team is seeking active issue resolution with low maintainer stagnation.
