technology-radarCTO methodology for technology evaluation, architecture governance, build-vs-buy decisions, engineering metrics, technical debt quantification, and innovation pipeline management.
Technology Radar is an agent skill from magnus919/hermes-profiles. CTO methodology for technology evaluation, architecture governance, build-vs-buy decisions, engineering metrics, technical debt quantification, and innovation pipeline management. Covers technology radar framework (Adopt/Trial/Assess/Hold), TCO analysis, architecture review boards, RFC processes, DORA/SPACE/DevEx metrics, debt interest calculation, and POC-to-production readiness criteria.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/architecture-governance.md`, `references/build-vs-buy.md` and `references/engineering-metrics.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Technical debt, Software architecture and Platform engineering. The repository describes itself as: Curated Hermes Agent profiles for specialist swarms — opinionated, Hermes-optimized, artifact-pyramid native. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 867a555. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Technology Radar loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 462 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Technology Radar is an agent skill from magnus919/hermes-profiles. CTO methodology for technology evaluation, architecture governance, build-vs-buy decisions, engineering metrics, technical debt quantification, and innovation pipeline management.
Technology Radar fits situations like: tasks that involve Technical debt; tasks that involve Software architecture; tasks that involve Platform engineering.
Run `npx skills add magnus919/hermes-profiles --skill technology-radar -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/technology-radar in magnus919/hermes-profiles) into .claude/skills/technology-radar in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add magnus919/hermes-profiles --skill technology-radar -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/technology-radar in magnus919/hermes-profiles) into .agents/skills/technology-radar in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add magnus919/hermes-profiles --skill technology-radar -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/technology-radar, .gemini/skills/technology-radar, .github/skills/technology-radar and .opencode/skills/technology-radar in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Technology Radar is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Technology Radar is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 6.4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Technology Radar: Vanity Engineering Review (bencium/bencium-marketplace, 446 stars), Tech Debt Audit (code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent, 70k stars), Codebase Pathfinder (thedotmack/claude-mem, 99k stars) and Architecture Survey (Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode, 40k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
