## Choose when

### Choose Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills if…

- License: Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills is Apache-2.0, evals is Other.
- 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.

### Choose evals if…

- License: evals is Other, Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to evals: benchmarking, custom eval creation, evaluation framework, large-language-models.
- * When you need a comprehensive set of pre-existing evals and the ability to create your own tailored tests using specific use cases, especially within the OpenAI model ecosystem.

## 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.

## When NOT to use evals

- * When evaluating models or systems that do not benefit from being integrated with the OpenAI API, as some features like direct evals configuration in the OpenAI Dashboard require an OpenAI key.
- * If you are looking for an evaluation framework that doesn’t involve external dependencies such as Git Large File Storage (LFS) and specific Python version requirements (Python 3.9 minimum), or if a繁
