Use when A/B tests show mixed results or features have conflicting metrics - evaluates net positive/negative through strategic alignment, explores mitigation strategies before binary rollback decisions

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tradeoff Decision Workflow ## Purpose Make informed ship/no-ship/iterate decisions when A/B test results are mixed (some metrics up, others down) or when a launched feature shows conflicting performance. Avoids binary thinking by exploring nuanced approaches that preserve gains while addressing losses. ## When to Use This Workflow Use this workflow when: - A/B test shows some metrics increasing, others decreasing - Feature launched with mixed performance across different metrics - Stakeholders disagree on whether to ship or rollback - Redesign shifted user behavior in unexpected ways - Need to choose between two good but mutually exclusive options - Optimizing for one metric clearly harms another ## Skills Sequence This workflow applies four skills systematically: ``` 1. North Star Alignment ↓ (Determine which metric matters more strategically) 2. Trade-off Evaluation (Short vs. Long-term) ↓ (Assess temporal trade-offs) 3. Trade-off Evaluation (Mitigation) ↓ (Explore "best of both worlds" approaches) 4. Funnel-Based Metric Mapping ↓ (Identify where in user journey problem occurs) OUTPUT: Assessment (net positive/negative/depends), Recommended action (ship/rollback/iterate), Mitig

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill tradeoff-decision-jayhjenkins-productosv0-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
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.
