What it does

Compare Options is an agent skill from nano-muse/nanoMuse. Compare two to five options (products, plans, places, tools, offers) on the criteria that matter to the user, in a table the user can re-weight, with a recommendation. Use when the user asks which to pick, for a comparison, or "X vs Y".

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation. The repository describes itself as: nanoMuse: an open-source personal agent for every device you own. One agent with a name and a look of its own that does things, keeps working while the app is closed, remembers… The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks which to pick
  • For a comparison

Example prompts

  • “X vs Y”
  • “/compare-options”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 29e7a91. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    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.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Compare Options loads about 588 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~588

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Compare options

The result is a page, compare/<topic>.html, and a recommendation in chat with the reason.

Pin down the question

  • The options (2–5). If the user named one and asked for alternatives, find at most three obvious ones with web_search, and say that you picked them.
  • The criteria: what the user said matters, plus recall for standing preferences (budget, brands they avoid, "must work offline", family size…). Five to seven criteria, no more. If the user gave none, propose them in the page; do not ask first.
  • The user's situation in one line at the top of the page (what it is for, budget, constraints), so the recommendation has a visible basis.

Research

  • One web_search per option, then web_fetch the one or two pages that actually contain the facts (the maker's page, a review that lists specifications, a price page). Stop there; more searching rarely changes the answer.
  • Every number in the table comes from a page you read, with the page's host in the cell's tooltip (title attribute). No source, no number: write "n/a" and say so.
  • Prices with the date and currency; anything that varies by region or plan, say so.

The page

  • A table: options as columns, criteria as rows; a weight (1–5) next to each criterion the user can change in the page, and a score line that recomputes live. Plain JavaScript inline; no external resources; readable on a phone (scrolls sideways).
  • Under the table: one paragraph per option: what it is best for and its one real drawback. Then Recommendation: the pick, the reason in two sentences, and what would change the pick ("if you travel a lot, take B").
  • Keep it honest: if two options are close, say they are close.

Finish

Chat reply: the pick, the reason in one sentence, the file name; offer to remember a preference if one came out of it (the user said "I don't care about weight": that is a preference). Never buy, sign up or fill forms; if the user asks you to, that is a new task with its own approval.
