comparelisted

## Intent Systematically evaluate multiple alternatives against defined criteria to produce a recommendation with transparent tradeoff analysis. Comparison enables informed decision-making through structured analysis. **Success criteria:** - All options evaluated against same criteria - Criteria weighted by importance - Clear recommendation with rationale - Tradeoffs explicitly documented **Compatible schemas:** - `schemas/output_schema.yaml` ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Type | Description | |-----------|----------|------|-------------| | `options` | Yes | array[string\|object] | Alternatives to compare (2+ items) | | `criteria` | Yes | array[string\|object] | Evaluation dimensions with optional weights | | `context` | No | object | Constraints, priorities, or decision context | | `must_have` | No | array[string] | Required criteria (eliminates options that fail) | ## Procedure 1) **Enumerate options**: List all alternatives under consideration - Verify each option is viable (not obviously invalid) - Ensure options are at same abstraction level - Flag if options are not mutually exclusive 2) **Define criteria**: Establish evaluation dimensions - Quantitative criteria: measurable (cost, time, size) - Qualitative criteria: assessed (quality, maintainability, risk) - Apply must_have filters to eliminate non-viable options 3) **Assign weights**: Determine relative importance of each criterion - Weights should sum to 1.0 - If not provided, us
