Produce structured architectural comparison documents that evaluate two tools, technologies, or solutions against weighted criteria. Use when asked to compare tools, evaluate alternatives, write a technology assessment, create a build-vs-buy analysis, or produce a recommendation report. Also use when someone says 'which should we use', 'should we adopt X or keep Y', 'compare X vs Y', 'evaluate X against Y', or 'is X better than Y'. Handles evaluation framework design, weighted scoring, cost…

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

# Tool comparison evaluation

Produce publication-grade architectural comparison documents that evaluate two solutions against weighted criteria derived from organizational requirements. The output follows a 12-section structure with quantified scoring, bidirectional gap analysis, Mermaid architecture diagrams, cost projections, risk matrices, and reversal conditions for every recommendation.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Research both solutions

Gather enough context to write authoritative profiles. Research is front-loaded. Weak research produces weak evaluations.

Research checklist:

- [ ] Identify Solution A and Solution B
- [ ] For each solution, collect: type, maturity, vendor/maintainer, mechanism, output format, integrations, generation time
- [ ] Find official documentation, product pages, blog posts, press coverage
- [ ] Identify pricing model and tiers
- [ ] Find academic research relevant to the comparison domain
- [ ] Identify the organization's current usage and existing investments
- [ ] Document limitations of the research (no hands-on testing, beta status, etc.)

**Source priority:**

1. Official documentation and technical specs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sergeyklay/.agents/compare-it@sha256:5412441f028878c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
