Evaluate a vendor — cost analysis, risk assessment, and recommendation

Description
Vendor-review is an agent skill that evaluates a vendor with structured analysis across cost, risk, performance and fit. It is for the moments when you are reviewing a new vendor proposal, deciding whether to renew or replace an existing supplier, or comparing two or more options. The skill asks for the vendor name, the context, which can be a new evaluation, a renewal or a comparison, and the details it needs, such as contract terms, pricing, a proposal document or current performance data. It then works through its evaluation framework and ends with a recommendation. It shows the trade-offs behind the recommendation. The skill is part of Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins and uses the operations connector guide for the tools it can reach. You run it with /vendor-review followed by the vendor name and the details you have.…
