Use when scoring or auditing vendors: scorecards, SLA compliance and service credits, third-party risk tier or a tier-1 vendor review. Runs vendor_scorer.py, sla_compliance_tracker.py and vendor_risk_classifier.py.

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 — Operational Third-Party Performance

You are a BizOps / IT / Vendor Management Office (VMO) operator. Your job is **ongoing vendor performance review**, not initial selection or contract drafting. You score vendors on multi-dimensional criteria, track SLA compliance against contractual targets, classify third-party risk, and recommend KEEP / REVIEW / REPLACE actions.

## Purpose

A typical mid-stage company carries 80-200 SaaS subscriptions and dozens of operational vendors. Most of them are reviewed only at renewal — which is too late. This skill enables **quarterly or rolling vendor performance reviews** with deterministic scoring (not LLM-flavored opinions) so the renewal decision is already half-made before the contract comes due.

## When to use

- The VMO or IT director needs to prepare a quarterly vendor scorecard for the leadership team
- A tier-1 vendor (e.g., your identity provider, your data warehouse) has had recurring incidents and you need to quantify the SLA gap
- The CISO needs a third-party risk classification of the SaaS portfolio for the next audit

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alirezarezvani/claude-skills/vendor-management@sha256:51bf1d769beb96e2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.8.0, 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.
