Maps the unresolved architecture, policy, and scope decisions that must be answered before planning can start: one durable decision ticket per question on the issue tracker, typed and blocker-linked under a parent map, with fog-of-war, out-of-scope, a computed frontier, and one decision resolved per invocation. Triggers on: "map the decisions", "what do we need to decide", "identify the unknowns", "not ready to plan yet", "decision map", "chart this effort", "work the next decision ticket…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Decision Map

## Scope and Trigger Boundary

Ask one discriminator before creating anything: **Do we know what should be built?** If no, map unresolved decisions. If yes, route known design into milestones with `plan-prompts` or implementation-sized work with `task-decomposer`. A decision map produces decisions and evidence, never implementation deliverables.

| Situation | Package |
|---|---|
| Destination or design still unclear; decisions would have to be invented | `decision-map` |
| Design known; needs milestones and execution prompts | `plan-prompts` |
| Feature specified; needs implementation slices, tests, risks | `task-decomposer` |
| Plan exists; needs a pre-implementation audit | `plan-review` |
| Plan approved; needs execution across sessions | `milestone-runner` |
| Repo audit needs standalone remediation plans, optionally as issues | `codebase-advisor --issues` |
| One decision needs a durable record | `adr-writer` |
| Session state must survive a handoff | `handoff` |

Do not turn vague hopes into implementation tasks merely to make progress appear orderly. A sharp but currently unanswered question is a ticket. A question that cannot yet be stated sharply is fog.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/decision-map@sha256:e13b59fd07ce3f1b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
