Analysis No Recommendation

Analysis compares options thoroughly but doesn't pick one — the decision is punted to the reader without guidance.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only skill (style guidance) that contains no code, no installs, and requests no credentials — it is internally consistent with its stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (produce analysis that avoids giving a final recommendation) matches the SKILL.md content. The skill does not request binaries, credentials, or installs that would be unrelated to its stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains editorial guidance on how to produce analysis and recommendations; it does not instruct the agent to read files, call external endpoints, access environment variables, or perform other system actions.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present. Being instruction-only means nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths — requests are proportional (none) to the stated editorial purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and model invocation is allowed (platform default). The skill does not request persistent/system-wide changes or elevated privileges.

Assessment

This skill is low-risk: it's a text-only instruction that changes how an agent frames analysis (it tells the agent to give a one-line recommendation and justify it). There are no installs, no credentials, and no external network calls in the bundle. If you install it, review the SKILL.md to ensure its recommended behavior (forcing a single recommendation) matches your expectations for agent responses. Also note autonomous invocation is allowed by default on the platform — that is normal but means the agent could apply this guidance automatically when relevant.

A comparison without a recommendation makes the reader do the work. It looks thorough but leaves the decision where it started, and often signals that the author didn't want to commit.

Symptoms

• Analysis ends with "here are the options" and nothing further.
• Recommendation buried in hedges: "it depends", "either could work", "teams may prefer".
• Criteria listed but never applied to pick a winner.
• Author avoids stating a view because they fear being wrong.

What to do

• After the comparison, name the recommended option in one sentence. No hedging.
• Give the one-line reason the recommendation wins under the stated criteria.
• Call out the key uncertainty that would flip the recommendation — "if latency matters less than consistency, pick B instead".
• If the right answer genuinely depends on context the author doesn't have, ask for that context rather than punting.
• Being wrong with a specific recommendation is more useful than being vague. A wrong recommendation is correctable; a non-answer leaves the reader stuck.
