Compares 2-5 products side by side on one page: specs, prices, visual differences, and a pick for what matters to you. Use for "which should I buy", "X vs Y" or "compare these".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Which to buy

Buying something shouldn't take eleven tabs. This skill researches 2–5 products, lines
their specs up side by side on one calm page, shows **where they actually differ**, and
puts a recommendation on top that's picked for **what matters to you**, not for a
generic "best". When you want to dig in, every product and question on the page copies a
ready-made prompt you paste back into this chat.

It starts automatically when the request matches: "Sony XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra", "which
robot vacuum should I get under $500?", "compare these three" plus links. It's not for
browsing a whole category (it asks you to narrow to five), and it never buys anything.

One reference, **read it every run**: [`research.md`](./references/research.md) (where
specs and prices come from, what to compare, how to pick). Data shape:
[`evals/example-compare.json`](./evals/example-compare.json). Defaults:
[Configuration](#configuration), at the end of this file.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mostafa-drz/claude-skills/which-to-buy@sha256:132737c8856b111b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.1b45796, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
