Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tool Selection ## Overview Select the optimal MCP tool by evaluating task complexity, accuracy needs, and performance trade-offs. ## When to Use - Choosing between Codanna and Morphllm - Routing tasks based on complexity - Explaining tool selection rationale Avoid when: - The tool is explicitly specified by the user ## Quick Reference | Task | Load reference | | --- | --- | | Tool selection | `skills/tool-selection/references/select.md` | ## Workflow 1. Parse the operation requirements. 2. Load the tool selection reference. 3. Apply the scoring and decision matrix. 4.

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
