Provides a structured framework for comparing options under uncertainty. It surfaces criteria, weights them by stated priorities, scores each option, and produces a transparent recommendation — including the conditions under which a different option would be the right call.
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
## What this skill does Provides a structured framework for comparing options under uncertainty. It surfaces criteria, weights them by stated priorities, scores each option, and produces a transparent recommendation — including the conditions under which a different option would be the right call. ## When to use it - User asks "should we use X or Y?", "which approach is better?", or "help me decide between…". - User needs to document a decision and its rationale for a team or stakeholder. - User wants to understand the trade-offs before committing to a direction. - User is revisiting a past decision to validate or challenge it. ## Instructions 1. **Name the decision.** State the decision being made in one sentence as a question (e.g., "Which message broker should we use for the order pipeline?"). 2. **Enumerate the options.** List all options under consideration. If the user has provided fewer than two, ask for alternatives before proceeding. 3. **Elicit criteria.** Identify the decision criteria from the user's context. Group into: - **Must-haves** (constraints that disqualify options if not met) - **Optimisation criteria** (factors to weigh and compare) …

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/tradeoff-analysis@sha256:1d757e9989cda586The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
