agentsop-framework-selection

Neutral, framework-agnostic decision tree for project kickoff: "which agent / RAG / LLM framework should I reach for?" Synthesizes the ecosystem sections of 7 landmark-project SOPs (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, DSPy, CrewAI, vLLM, Aider, Dify) into one layered rubric. Core stance: frameworks are LAYERS, not competitors — a real project usually combines DSPy (compile) + LlamaIndex (retrieve) + LangGraph (orchestrate) + vLLM (serve), and you choose ONE per layer, not one to rule all. Use when starting any LLM/agent/RAG project, or whenever the "which framework?" question is asked. Deliberately neutral — unlike vendor docs and the LangChain-biased framework-selection on skill.sh, this skill has no horse in the race.
