Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "tool-selection-framework" from https://skillstore.io/skills/92bilal26-tool-selection-framework.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/92bilal26-tool-selection-framework/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "tool-selection-framework". A 30K-line Flask API needs one new endpoint.

Expected outcome:

Recommendation: Use Claude Code directly. The project is small enough for focused context, and the task does not require full-codebase exploration.

Using "tool-selection-framework". A 200K-line Django project is unfamiliar, and the team needs to understand authentication before adding a feature.

Expected outcome:

Recommendation: Use a multi-phase workflow. Explore authentication broadly with Gemini CLI, create a concise checkpoint, then implement with Claude Code.

Using "tool-selection-framework". An 800K-line legacy system needs an authentication migration.

Expected outcome:

Recommendation: Use Gemini CLI for system-wide discovery and Claude Code for security-sensitive implementation. Maintain checkpoints for each migrated module.

What You Can Build

Plan Large Codebase Work

Choose whether to explore with Gemini CLI before implementing with Claude Code on a large repository.

Control AI Tool Costs

Match tool choice to task scope so repeated development work does not consume unnecessary context.

Teach Context-Aware Development

Explain why different AI assistants fit different project sizes, task types, and reasoning needs.

Try These Prompts

Choose a Tool for My Task 
Use the tool-selection-framework skill. My project has [line count] lines, and I need to [task]. Recommend Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or a multi-phase workflow.
Compare Exploration and Implementation Needs 
Use the tool-selection-framework skill to classify this task as exploration, focused implementation, hybrid, or deep reasoning: [task details]. Explain the recommended workflow.
Design a Multi-Phase Workflow 
Use the tool-selection-framework skill to design a Gemini CLI to Claude Code workflow for a [line count] line codebase. Include exploration questions, checkpoint contents, and implementation context.
Create a Reusable Decision Policy 
Use the tool-selection-framework skill to create a team policy for choosing AI coding tools across small, medium, and large repositories. Include override conditions for time-critical and security-sensitive work.

Best Practices

  • Measure codebase size before selecting a tool.
  • Use Gemini CLI for broad discovery and Claude Code for focused reasoning-heavy changes.
  • Create checkpoint documents before moving from exploration to implementation.

Avoid

  • Using a large-context exploration tool for a small focused change.
  • Trying to understand a very large unknown codebase with only selective context.
  • Skipping cost, time, and expertise constraints when recommending a tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill execute Claude Code or Gemini CLI?
No. It provides selection guidance and workflow templates only.
When should I choose Claude Code?
Choose Claude Code for focused implementation, deep reasoning, time-critical fixes, and smaller repositories.
When should I choose Gemini CLI?
Choose Gemini CLI for broad exploration of large or unfamiliar codebases where full context matters.
What is a multi-phase workflow?
It means using Gemini CLI to explore broadly, saving a concise checkpoint, then using Claude Code to implement.
Can the framework support new AI tools?
Yes. The same decision factors can be updated with new context windows, prices, and model capabilities.
What information should I provide?
Provide codebase size, task description, urgency, budget constraints, and your familiarity with the codebase.
