SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing between approaches, architectures, or implementations often happens on gut feel. This Skill replaces guesswork with a structured, multi-dimensional evaluation that ends in a clear, committed recommendation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dimensional Analysis: Scores options on performance, code quality, developer experience, and maintainability with STRONG/ADEQUATE/WEAK ratings. - Impact Assessment: Maps blast radius, migration effort, breaking changes, and learning curve as LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH. - Committed Verdicts: Always concludes with PROCEED, PROCEED WITH CAVEATS, RECONSIDER, or REJECT plus rationale and alternatives. - Use Case: You are deciding between two state management libraries for a React app. Run /assess to get a side-by-side comparison across all dimensions, an alignment check against repo patterns, and a final recommendation with conditions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run /assess on the approach or decision you want evaluated, providing the relevant files or context.

Frequently Asked Questions about insight-assess

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate two technical approaches before deciding?▼

Run /assess with both options and relevant context. The skill performs a side-by-side comparison across performance, code quality, developer experience, and maintainability, then delivers a verdict of PROCEED, PROCEED WITH CAVEATS, RECONSIDER, or REJECT.

What is the difference between insight-assess, insight-explore, and insight-critique?▼

insight-explore generates alternative options divergently, insight-assess evaluates existing options convergently, and insight-critique reviews a specific output reactively. Use assess when you already have candidate approaches and need a decision.

Does the assessment skill modify my code?▼

No. The skill is evaluation-only and explicitly must not make changes, write code, or execute anything. It reads context, analyzes dimensions, and delivers a recommendation for you to act on.

What happens after an assessment returns PROCEED?▼

The skill suggests running /plan-create to turn the recommended option into a phased implementation plan. If the verdict is RECONSIDER or REJECT, it proposes concrete alternatives or suggests /insight-explore to generate more options.

When should I not use a structured decision assessment?▼

Skip it when the decision target is vague or undefined, since the skill gates on a clearly framed subject. In that case, clarify intent first with a priming step before evaluating options.
