## Capabilities

| Capability | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| Technology Comparison | Compare frameworks and libraries with weighted scoring |
| TCO Analysis | Calculate 5-year total cost including hidden costs |
| Ecosystem Health | Assess GitHub metrics, npm adoption, community strength |
| Security Assessment | Evaluate vulnerabilities and compliance readiness |
| Migration Analysis | Estimate effort, risks, and timeline for migrations |
| Cloud Comparison | Compare AWS, Azure, GCP for specific workloads |

---

## Quick Start

### Compare Two Technologies

```
Compare React vs Vue for a SaaS dashboard.
Priorities: developer productivity (40%), ecosystem (30%), performance (30%).
```

### Calculate TCO

```
Calculate 5-year TCO for Next.js on Vercel.
Team: 8 developers. Hosting: $2500/month. Growth: 40%/year.
```

### Assess Migration

```
Evaluate migrating from Angular.js to React.
Codebase: 50,000 lines, 200 components. Team: 6 developers.
```

---

## Input Formats

The evaluator accepts three input formats:

**Text** - Natural language queries
```
Compare PostgreSQL vs MongoDB for our e-commerce platform.
```

**YAML** - Structured input for automation
```yaml
comparison:
  technologies: ["React", "Vue"]
  use_case: "SaaS dashboard"
  weights:
    ecosystem: 30
    performance: 25
    developer_experience: 45
```

**JSON** - Programmatic integration
```json
{
  "technologies": ["React", "Vue"],
  "use_case": "SaaS dashboard"
}
```

---

## Analysis Types

### Quick Comparison (200-300 tokens)
- Weighted scores and recommendation
- Top 3 decision factors
- Confidence level

### Standard Analysis (500-800 tokens)
- Comparison matrix
- TCO overview
- Security summary

### Full Report (1200-1500 tokens)
- All metrics and calculations
- Migration analysis
- Detailed recommendations

---

## Scripts

### stack_comparator.py

Compare technologies with customizable weighted criteria.

```bash
python scripts/stack_comparator.py --help
```

### tco_calculator.py

Calculate total cost of ownership over multi-year projections.

```bash
python scripts/tco_calculator.py --input assets/sample_input_tco.json
```

### ecosystem_analyzer.py

Analyze ecosystem health from GitHub, npm, and community metrics.

```bash
python scripts/ecosystem_analyzer.py --technology react
```

### security_assessor.py

Evaluate security posture and compliance readiness.

```bash
python scripts/security_assessor.py --technology express --compliance soc2,gdpr
```

### migration_analyzer.py

Estimate migration complexity, effort, and risks.

```bash
python scripts/migration_analyzer.py --from angular-1.x --to react
```

## When to Use

- Comparing frontend/backend frameworks for new projects
- Evaluating cloud providers for specific workloads
- Planning technology migrations with risk assessment
- Calculating build vs. buy decisions with TCO
- Assessing open-source library viability

## When NOT to Use

- Trivial decisions between similar tools (use team preference)
- Mandated technology choices (decision already made)
- Emergency production issues (use monitoring tools)

## Diff History
- **v00.33.0**: Ingested from claude-skills-main
