tech-radar

tech-radar is a skill for Claude Code from cnfeat/top-pm-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,955 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technology radar that places tools, platforms, techniques, languages, and frameworks into four decision groups: Adopt, Trial, Assess, or Hold. It records the team's reasoning and tracks changes over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a technology landscape, guide technology choices, document deprecations, and maintain an engineering technology strategy.
Why use it?
It gives an engineering team a shared position on what to standardize, experiment with, evaluate, or stop using.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tech-radar scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Tech Radar

Produce a complete technology radar document for an engineering team. The radar gives the team a shared, explicit position on every significant technology in their stack — what to standardize on, what to experiment with, what to evaluate, and what to actively stop using. Follow the ThoughtWorks Tech Radar format: four quadrants (Techniques, Tools, Platforms, Languages & Frameworks) each with four rings (Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold). Each technology entry ("blip") gets a ring assignment, a one-paragraph rationale, and a date. Include a decision trail showing what moved and why, and a maintenance process the team can run to keep the radar current.

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not already provided:

  • Team or company name — for the document header
  • Current tech stack — list every significant technology, tool, language, and platform the team currently uses
  • Technologies under active evaluation — tools or frameworks the team is currently trying or considering
  • Technologies to deprecate or move off — anything the team wants to stop using or is actively migrating away from
  • Strategic technology bets — any technologies the company has made a deliberate bet on (e.g., "we're all-in on Kubernetes" or "migrating to event-driven architecture")
  • Team context — team size, product domain, and any constraints (regulatory, compliance, vendor lock-in concerns)

If a technology is mentioned without a ring placement, use the rationale inputs to determine the appropriate ring. When uncertain between two rings, ask.

Output Format


Technology Radar: [Team / Company Name]

Edition: [Month Year] Maintained by: [Team Name / Architecture Guild / CTO Office] Review cadence: Bi-annual (every 6 months) Next review: [Month Year + 6 months]


How to Read This Radar

This radar reflects [Team / Company Name]'s current thinking on technologies we use, evaluate, and retire. Use it to make consistent technology choices, onboard new engineers, and have structured conversations about the stack.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
