alternatives-investigation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams avoid costly architecture and tool-selection mistakes by systematically comparing real alternatives and recommending the minimum-regret choice with clear tradeoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured option comparison: Evaluates each alternative across implementability, approvals/dependencies, reversibility, migration cost, operational burden, failure modes, and evidence quality.
• Decision-focused output: Produces an evidence-based recommendation and explicitly flags when evidence is thin and what check should come next.
• Pragmatic governance fit: Designed for architecture choices, tool selection, and solution comparison where reversibility and implementation impact matter.

Quick Start

Run alternatives-investigation to compare available options for your decision and receive a least-regret recommendation with the key evidence and tradeoffs documented.
