audit-choices SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

audit-choices from dzhng/duet-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Audit the choices an implementing agent made, not its diff — a pure decision audit that traces the session's history into a choices ledger, changes no code, and never blocks an unsupervised run. Working code still embeds architecture the user never chose; surface it because future work inherits it. Use when the user wants to review the decisions the AI made on their behalf, before merging or committing AI-implemented work, when integrating a delegated subagent's pass, or when a fix "works" but…

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

# Audit Choices

Given a good decision, an agent implements it faithfully; wherever the task is
underspecified, it makes the decision itself — silently, and the diff won't
flag it. Reviewing thousands of changed lines doesn't scale, and it inspects
the execution, which was probably fine. The audit that scales is of the
**choices**: surface every decision the implementer made on its own, judge
that list, and record the verdicts.

This is about architecture more than bugs. An implementation can work
perfectly and still rest on decisions the user never made — a data shape, a
storage location, a dependency, an API contract, a tradeoff of memory for
speed — and every one of them is load-bearing for future work. The user needs
to know them not because they're wrong, but because they now own them.

This is purely a decision audit — it is not about modifying code, and it can
be called at any time. The job is to **trace back**: walk every step this
session has taken, and every step each subagent took (a live implementer
traces its own; otherwise reconstruct from its reports, transcripts, and
diffs), and surface every single decision that was made on the user's behalf
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dzhng/duet-agent/audit-choices@sha256:93410f8d91b538f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.f2a4f7b, 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.
