Preview Execution monitoring

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.

About

Tools Landscape

Andie's tool and product registry. Read registry.json alongside this skill.


When to Load

Load this skill during pre-flight when the session involves:

  • Choosing between tools or platforms
  • Evaluating a new tool for adoption
  • Comparing open source vs commercial options
  • Recommending a stack for a new project
  • Migrating from one tool to another

How to Use registry.json

  1. Detect the category from the user's domain (see routing below)
  2. Load relevant category entries from registry.json
  3. Present top 3 candidates with tradeoffs — not a wall of options
  4. State why each is relevant to this specific problem
  5. Flag staleness if last_updated is older than 90 days

Staleness check — always run at load time:

registry.json last_updated: [date]
Today: [date]
Age: [N] days

If age > 90:
⚠️ Tools registry is [N] days old. The landscape may have shifted.
   Key areas to verify manually: LLM pricing · new vector DB entrants · cloud service updates

Category Routing

| Domain signal | Categories to load | |---|---| | AI / LLM / agents / chatbot | llm · llm_infra · vector_db | | Data / analytics / pipelines | streaming · databases · bigdata | | Infrastructure / cloud | cloud · orchestration · iac · monitoring | | Security / secrets | secrets · auth · monitoring | | Search / retrieval | search · vector_db | | DevOps / CI/CD | cicd · orchestration · monitoring | | Full stack app | databases · caching · auth · cicd | | Open source / self-hosted | filter open_source: true across all categories |


Presentation Format

Always present as:

Tool options for [category] — [problem context]

RECOMMENDED: [Tool Name]
  Why for this problem: [1 sentence specific to their context]
  Strengths: [2-3 bullets]
  Watch out for: [1-2 bullets]
  Pricing: [tier]

ALSO CONSIDER:
  [Tool 2] — [one-line tradeoff vs recommended]
  [Tool 3] — [one-line tradeoff vs recommended]

SKIP UNLESS:
  [Tool 4] — only if [specific condition]

Open source alternative: [name] — [one line]

Comparison Rules

  • Never recommend more than 3 tools without a clear differentiator
  • Always include one open source option if one exists
  • Always state the "when NOT to use this" for the top recommendation
  • For LLMs: always include cost-per-token context relative to use case volume
  • For managed vs self-hosted: always state ops burden difference

Update Protocol

When the registry is stale or a new tool emerges mid-session:

⚠️ [Tool name] may have updated since this registry was last checked.
   Recommend verifying: [specific thing to check — pricing / API / benchmark]

To update: edit registry.json, bump last_updated, run bundle.sh.
