Reza Rezvani 670930c69d feat(docs): implement unified design system across all generated pages
- Add CSS components: .page-meta badges, .domain-header, .install-banner
- Fix invisible tab navigation (explicit color for light/dark modes)
- Rewrite generate-docs.py with design system templates
- Domain indexes: centered headers with icons, install banners, grid cards
- Skill pages: pill badges (domain, skill ID, source), install commands
- Agent/command pages: type badges with domain icons
- Regenerate all 210 pages (180 skills + 15 agents + 15 commands)

## Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| Technology Comparison | Compare frameworks and libraries with weighted scoring |
| TCO Analysis | Calculate 5-year total cost including hidden costs |
| Ecosystem Health | Assess GitHub metrics, npm adoption, community strength |
| Security Assessment | Evaluate vulnerabilities and compliance readiness |
| Migration Analysis | Estimate effort, risks, and timeline for migrations |
| Cloud Comparison | Compare AWS, Azure, GCP for specific workloads |
---
## Quick Start
### Compare Two Technologies
```
Compare React vs Vue for a SaaS dashboard.
Priorities: developer productivity (40%), ecosystem (30%), performance (30%).
```
### Calculate TCO
```
Calculate 5-year TCO for Next.js on Vercel.
Team: 8 developers. Hosting: $2500/month. Growth: 40%/year.
```
### Assess Migration
```
Evaluate migrating from Angular.js to React.
Codebase: 50,000 lines, 200 components. Team: 6 developers.
```
---
## Input Formats
The evaluator accepts three input formats:
**Text** - Natural language queries
```
Compare PostgreSQL vs MongoDB for our e-commerce platform.
```
**YAML** - Structured input for automation
```yaml
comparison:
technologies: ["React", "Vue"]
use_case: "SaaS dashboard"
weights:
ecosystem: 30
performance: 25
developer_experience: 45
```
**JSON** - Programmatic integration
```json
{
"technologies": ["React", "Vue"],
"use_case": "SaaS dashboard"
}
```
---
## Analysis Types
### Quick Comparison (200-300 tokens)
- Weighted scores and recommendation

## When to Use
- Comparing frontend/backend frameworks for new projects
- Evaluating cloud providers for specific workloads
- Planning technology migrations with risk assessment
- Calculating build vs. buy decisions with TCO
- Assessing open-source library viability
## When NOT to Use
- Trivial decisions between similar tools (use team preference)
- Mandated technology choices (decision already made)
- Emergency production issues (use monitoring tools)
