Vendor lifecycle — weighted selection scorecards, risk tiering, renewal and notice-deadline tracking, spend concentration, and SLA credits. Use when selecting a vendor, preparing a renewal, or reviewing a vendor portfolio.

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

# Vendor Management

Covers the vendor lifecycle from selection to exit. Two failures dominate this
discipline: tiering vendors by spend rather than by blast radius, and losing
every point of renewal leverage to a missed notice deadline. This skill is built
around preventing both.

## When to use this skill

- **Selecting a vendor** and needing a scorecard that survives scrutiny
- **A renewal is approaching** and the notice deadline needs to be found before it passes
- **Reviewing the vendor portfolio** for concentration, risk tier coverage, and consolidation
- **Preparing a business review** with SLA performance and credits owed
- **A vendor is underperforming** and the case needs to be built on trend, not anecdote
- **Planning an exit** and needing the sequence right

## Inputs the skill expects

- For selection: weighted criteria, must-have requirements, and 0-10 scores per vendor with evidence
- For the portfolio: annual spend, category, renewal date, notice days, and auto-renew flag per vendor
- Risk inputs per vendor: data classification, business criticality, alternative availability, subprocessor use
- Internal owner per contract

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/vendor-management@sha256:e13f577ea82a95c5

The 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.
