Research and compare established libraries, open-source tools and applications, managed services, and standard, framework, or platform primitives against an explicit bespoke baseline before committing to a material generic mechanism. Use for library/tool recommendations, build-versus-adopt questions, custom-mechanism replacement, consequential unresolved dependencies, or due diligence on a named but newly introduced material dependency.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'evaluate-existing-solutions' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'evaluate-existing-solutions' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named evaluate-existing-solutions already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/citypaul/.dotfiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'cd4028d57d6e4e95814f7b8ee55ca13c23a9c2f0' -- 'claude/.claude/skills/evaluate-existing-solutions' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'claude/.claude/skills/evaluate-existing-solutions' ~/.agents/skills/'evaluate-existing-solutions' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'evaluate-existing-solutions' ~/.claude/skills/'evaluate-existing-solutions' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
