compare-candidates skillA
compare-candidates is agent-read markdown (skill) from danmcinerney/orchflows: Independently compare stable candidates under common criteria; return evidence and a preference without edits or adoption. Use when a workflow names it or the user selects it; ordinary requests use orch-dynamic-workflow. Top-level coordinators only..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
Establish [library context](../../references/library-context.md). Accept at least two stable candidate states, purpose, common criteria/evaluation plan, evidence, constraints and output location. Resolve ordinary missing criteria from request/guidance; label assumptions and fix the comparison basis before dispatch. Use `orchflows:orch-review` once for the comparison. Supply identities, evaluation instructions, guidance and evidence. Preserve requested isolation, blinding and disclosure order. Return observations, requirement failures, tradeoffs, regressions, uncertainty and supported preference, tie or insufficient evidence. Preserve conflicting evidence and unavailable checks as gaps. Adoption, changed criteria and further confirmation remain with the caller.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/compare-candidates@git:20260922.a6dd949mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/compare-candidates@sha256:6b2227b37d1629a5Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
