Technology Evaluation Framework

What it does

Evaluating and comparing technology options for a specific use case.

When this skill is activated, Chalie follows these steps:

Ask the user for the technology category, specific use case, and evaluation criteria — cost, scalability, ecosystem maturity, learning curve, licensing, community support.
Use the search tool to identify the leading options in the category and any recent shifts in the landscape.
Use the subagent(type=web_surfer) tool to research each option in depth — official documentation quality, GitHub activity, Stack Overflow presence, and known limitations. Fire one subagent per technology with wait=false.
Use the subagent(type=summariser) tool to compress each technology’s research into a comparable profile: maturity, adoption, strengths, risks.
Build a decision matrix scoring each option against the user’s stated criteria on a 1-5 scale with justification per cell.
Use the document tool to save the evaluation as a persistent document titled with the category and date.
Present the recommendation with a clear winner, runner-up, and trade-off analysis. Flag any criteria where the winner is weak and the runner-up is strong.
