What problem does it solve? Teams often make technology adoption decisions informally, losing the context, trade-offs, and evidence behind them. This Skill produces concise, decision-oriented technology radar entries that answer "should my team use this, and under what conditions?" with enforced governance gates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standardized Ring Classification: Assigns technologies to the four ThoughtWorks rings (Adopt, Trial, Assess, Caution) with enforced sign-off gates for Caution entries and time-bounded Assess phases. - Evidence Discipline: Separates POC-only claims from production-verified evidence, validates vendor claims against primary sources, and links every entry to a MADR-format ADR. - AI Tool Tracking: Maintains a dedicated AI tools quadrant with mandatory bi-annual re-evaluation and data-flow classification. - Use Case: A platform team evaluating a new service mesh drafts a radar entry summarizing context, trade-offs, and a Trial recommendation, linked to the binding ADR, so future teams understand the decision without re-interviewing stakeholders. ## Quick Start Use the write-tech-radar skill to draft a radar entry assessing whether our team should adopt OpenTelemetry for observability.
