# Tool Finder

This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.

Recommend the current option that best fits the user's actual constraints, backed by fresh primary evidence.

## Workflow

1. Infer the ecosystem, existing stack, must-haves, switching cost, and decision criteria from the request and
   repository. Ask only when an unknown would materially change the recommendation.
2. Check whether the standard library, platform, or an already-installed tool is sufficient before adding a dependency.
3. Search current authoritative sources. Read [references/tool-finder.md](references/tool-finder.md) only for the
   relevant ecosystem's source routing, fallback criteria, install conventions, and red flags. Issue independent lookups
   for different candidates (registry, repository, advisories, changelog) together in one turn.
