Designing side-by-side comparison tools (plan-compare, product-compare, alternative-compare) that help users decide rather than just listing features. Axis selection, default-comparison logic, recommendation discipline. Honest about feature-list-dump (every feature in a row, no decision support), hidden-recommendation (biased comparison pretending to be neutral), and honest-comparison-with-guidance (genuine comparison plus opinionated recommendation) patterns.

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.

# Comparison Tool Design A senior product marketing director's playbook for designing side-by-side comparison tools that help users decide rather than just listing features. Plan-compare, product-compare, alternative-compare. Axis selection, default-comparison logic, recommendation discipline. The discipline of building a comparison tool that earns the user's trust. Most comparison tools fail in one of two ways. They dump every feature into a giant grid (4 options × 40 features = 160 cells) and ask the user to weigh everything against everything. The user leaves without choosing. Or they pretend to be neutral comparisons but are actually sales pitches with biased defaults and weighted framing; the user catches the bias and trust collapses.

How to install
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/comparison-tool-design@sha256:3a8559eadf130bcfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.e5bc675, 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.
