mcda-suitability-analysis

mcda-suitability-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from muend/geoai-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for choosing suitable places by combining several geographic factors, such as distance, slope, or land use, with explicit weights and restrictions. MCDA means multi-criteria decision analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for site selection, weighted map overlays, criteria weighting, exclusion zones, ranked areas, and shortlist creation.
Why use it?
It makes the assumptions behind a suitability map visible and checks whether the ranking changes when weights or other choices change.

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

mcda-suitability-analysis 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ahp_weights.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

MCDA & Suitability Analysis

Purpose: produce suitability maps whose weights, scales, and assumptions are explicit, consistent, and stress-tested. A suitability map without a sensitivity analysis is an opinion with a legend.

Workflow

  1. Structure: goal → criteria (factors) → constraints. Constraints are binary masks (legal exclusions, water bodies, slope > threshold) applied at the END by multiplication; factors are continuous and weighted. Keep them apart — encoding a constraint as a heavily-weighted factor is a classic error that lets forbidden areas score "acceptable".
  2. Criteria layers: each factor as a raster on a COMMON grid (same CRS, extent, cell size, snap). Resample categorical layers with nearest, continuous with bilinear; document each.
  3. Standardization to a common suitability scale (0-1 or 0-255):
    • Linear min-max for monotonic "more is better/worse".
    • Fuzzy membership (sigmoid/linear with control points) when suitability saturates — justify control points from domain knowledge.
    • Categorical layers: explicit reclass table, shown to the user. Direction check: confirm for EVERY layer whether high raw value means high or low suitability (slope: low=good; distance-to-road: usually low=good). Direction bugs survive to the final map invisibly.
  4. Weights (AHP below, or direct/ranked methods with rationale).
  5. Aggregation: weighted linear combination (WLC) default; OWA when the decision-maker's risk attitude (AND-like vs OR-like) matters.
  6. Constraint mask multiply; classify the result (equal interval or quantiles — say which and why); sensitivity analysis; validate against known good/bad sites if any exist.

AHP with consistency enforcement

Pairwise comparisons on Saaty's 1-9 scale; weights from the principal eigenvector; consistency ratio (CR) must be < 0.10 or the matrix goes back for revision. Run scripts/ahp_weights.py to compute weights + CR from a reciprocal comparison matrix (it validates reciprocity and reports λ_max).

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.

mcda-suitability-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository muend/geoai-skills (17 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,255 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
