Build and maintain technology radars for adoption, trial, assessment, and hold decisions, and choose proportionate architecture-governance paths for technology portfolios. Use when governing technology choices, build-versus-buy decisions, architecture standards, exceptions, or engineering portfolio risk. Do not use for enterprise capability or target-state architecture, writing ADRs, implementing systems, security engineering, or operational incident/runbook work.

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

# Technology Radar

CTO methodology for making technology decisions, governing architecture, measuring engineering effectiveness, managing technical debt, and operating an innovation pipeline. These frameworks help a CTO balance short-term delivery velocity with long-term platform health.

## When Not to Use

- Route enterprise capability maps, operating-model design, and current/target-state roadmaps to [`enterprise-architecture`](../enterprise-architecture/SKILL.md). This skill stays focused on technology portfolio posture and governance mechanics; use [`software-architecture`](../software-architecture/SKILL.md) for system-level target design.
- Route the durable record of one consequential decision to `adr-authoring`; use this skill to choose the governance path and connect the decision to standards or radar feedback.
- Route system design and code changes to the relevant engineering skill, security requirements and threat modeling to `secure-software-engineering`, and live operations or SLO work to `site-reliability-engineering`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/technology-radar@sha256:9809f0f865fdc190

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.8174e82, 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.
