MahjongCopilot is a specialized utility that bridges high-performance Mahjong AI engines (like Mortal or Akochan) with the popular browser/client game 'Maj-soul'. With nearly 1,000 stars and two years of history, it is a well-known tool in its niche. However, its defensibility is low (4) because it functions primarily as a 'wrapper' or 'glue' project. The core intelligence resides in external engines, and the primary technical challenge—OCR-based screen scraping—is a solved problem with many open-source alternatives. The project faces high platform domination risk: the game developer (Yostar/Cat Food Studio) could easily break the tool via UI updates or ban accounts detected using such assistants. Frontier labs (OpenAI/Google) are unlikely to enter this niche, but the project is highly susceptible to displacement by more integrated 'cheat' tools or if the game platform itself decides to offer a 'training mode' with similar features. The current zero velocity suggests a lack of active feature development, likely placing it in maintenance mode where it only survives until the next major game UI overhaul.
