## Choose when

### Choose PolyFuzz if…

- License: PolyFuzz is MIT, Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to PolyFuzz: bert, edit-distance, embeddings, levenshtein-distance.
- Also covers Vector Databases.

### Choose Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills if…

- License: Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills is Apache-2.0, PolyFuzz is MIT.
- Pricing: Available under the Apache 2.0 license, ensuring free access and modification but without guaranteeing commercial support..
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Supports integration with over 20 platforms including Claude Code and GitHub Copilot; Requires basic understanding of cybersecurity frameworks for optimal use.
- Tags unique to Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills: ai-agents, cybersecurity, mitre-attack, nist-csf.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- - Use when you require integration with multiple cybersecurity frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, and others, providing a robust foundation for skill-based operations.

## When NOT to use PolyFuzz

- Last GitHub push was 367 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jul 10, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on PolyFuzz.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills

- - Avoid if your project specifically requires skills mapped exclusively to a single framework not among the six supported by Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills.
- - Not suitable for projects that do not align with or benefit from the agentskills.io standard implementation, as it might limit customization options.
