Use BEFORE brainstorming when facing a complex architectural, technology, or design decision where the options are not yet well-defined or the problem itself may need reframing. Assembles named stakeholder perspectives that each speak once without debate, then surfaces where they converge and where real tension remains — without forcing a premature choice. Triggers on: "should we use X or Y", "not sure which approach", "evaluate these options", "what are the trade-offs between…

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

# Deliberation

Surface genuine tension in a decision before committing to a direction.

## When to use

Some decisions get worse when you're forced to choose too early. Use deliberation when:

- The options themselves are not yet well-defined
- The problem may be framed incorrectly (the real question hasn't been asked)
- Multiple legitimate constraints pull in different directions
- Brainstorming feels premature — there's no clear "right shape" for the solution yet

**Do not use for:** decisions that are already well-framed with clear options. Those go directly to `brainstorming`. Deliberation is for when you're not yet ready for options.

> Example: "Should we migrate the authentication layer from JWT to session cookies?"

### 2. Identify 3–5 genuine stakeholder perspectives

Choose perspectives that have real, distinct stakes in the decision. Each perspective represents a legitimate set of constraints or values — not a person, but a role with a coherent viewpoint.

Good perspectives for technical decisions:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator/deliberation@sha256:84412df38a0def73

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260415.0a78a70, 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.
