Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Design Alternatives
Generate structured engineering design alternatives and compare them against the problem constraints. This skill is for exploration and comparison, not final design.
Workflow
flowchart LR
Input["Problem + Constraints"] --> Generate["Generate 3+ Alternatives"]
Generate --> Criteria["Define Criteria"]
Criteria --> Score["Score Each Alternative"]
Score --> Matrix["Comparison Matrix"]
Matrix --> Recommend["Ranked Recommendation"]Invocation
/design-alternatives Include constraints: performance targets, budget limits, spatial constraints, code requirements, environmental conditions, timeline.
Methodology
- Parse constraints — hard (must meet), soft (preferences), evaluation criteria. Ask if unclear.
- Generate 3-5 alternatives — technically feasible, distinct approaches. Each: Approach, Governing standards, Advantages, Limitations.
- Comparison matrix — score 1-5 on Performance, Cost, Feasibility, Durability, Risk, Code compliance. Weight by priorities.
- Recommend — best overall + best for specific priorities + trade-offs. Do NOT recommend a single answer.
Output
Inline Summary (chat response)
- Problem restatement with constraints

Scope and Boundaries
- This skill compares alternatives — it does NOT produce final designs.
- Output is research and analysis, not construction documents.
- All alternatives must have a basis in engineering practice — no speculative or unproven approaches.
- Evidence quality: see
references/evidence-quality-tiers.md. - Research-only, not for final engineering sign-off.
