Use when deciding whether a mod belongs in a modpack — judging mod quality, fit, risk, and pack-value BEFORE download/install. Triggers - "should I add this mod", "is this mod good", "评估这个mod", "这个mod值得装吗", "is this mod worth it", "this mod looks too good to be true", "compare these mods", "does this mod fit my pack". NOT for how to install a mod (use interpreting-mod-author-instructions), load order (writing-bgs-load-order), or conflict resolution (xedit-conflict-audit).

I'm choosing between two visual clutter mods for Skyrim SE: Mod Alpha adds 50,000 extra loose statics in Whiterun with no performance testing, while Mod Beta adds subtle lore-friendly static placements with low object density and proven 100-hour save stability. My goal is a 100-hour playthrough. Which should I pick?

| Select Mod Beta over Mod Alpha. | Passed | Passed |
| State that long-term session stability takes priority over visual density. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
BGS games are systems simulators, not stage plays: the pack is trying to build a world where behavior leaves traces, state feeds back, and stories happen because systems collide. A mod is not admitted because it looks impressive in isolation; it is admitted when it reinforces the pack's declared 风格 and the game's systemic feedback loop. Stability is the floor. 风格 is the soul.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| A mod earns a place in the pack only by fitting the pack's declared 风格 AND reinforcing the |
| game's systemic feedback -- popularity, screenshots, and download counts are inputs, never fit. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Use this skill when the decision is whether the mod belongs in the pack at all: quality, fit, risk, redundancy, and pack-value before download/install.
Do not use this skill as the primary skill for adjacent intents:
| User intent | Primary skill |
|---|---|
| "How do I install this?" / read the author's instructions / choose installer options | interpreting-mod-author-instructions |
Edit, enable, disable, sort, or reason about plugins.txt / load order | writing-bgs-load-order |
| Inspect actual records, winners, overrides, or conflict severity | xedit-conflict-audit |
Terminal handoff: after an INCLUDE or CONDITIONAL INCLUDE verdict, stop judging and hand the mod page to interpreting-mod-author-instructions. Inclusion says "worth considering"; it does not mean "install however you feel like it."
