What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates ad-hoc, inconsistent decisions about adopting code, patterns, or entire tools from external repositories, preventing wasted effort on integrations that don't align with your existing .claude setup and workflow constraints.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured 8-phase evaluation workflow: Covers characterization, LOC mapping, coupling analysis, licence checks, relationship classification, gap mapping, delivery-model fit, and convergent validation to produce a reproducible, principled verdict.
- Clear actionable verdicts: Outputs one of four integration decisions (SUBMODULE, PORT PATTERNS, RUN STANDALONE ALONGSIDE, IGNORE) tailored to your setup's specific constraints.
- Use Case: When you discover a new open-source tool that overlaps with your existing .claude skills or agents, use this Skill to quickly assess if its portable components fill real gaps in your configuration without introducing framework lock-in or licence risks.
Quick Start
Use the tool-eval skill to evaluate the external repository at https://github.com/example/external-tool and save the structured decision document to docs/tool-evals/external-tool.md.
