making-decisions SKILL.md skillA
making-decisions from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/making-decisions@git:20260121.e9db155Pins git:20260121.e9db155 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when transforming synthesis insights into explicit decisions with documented trade-offs. Guides interactive decision-making and risk identification.
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 Ledger
This skill guides the creation of explicit decisions with full trade-off documentation.
## Prerequisites
- Synthesis complete (`/ledger-synthesize`)
- `03-synthesis/CROSS-SYNTHESIS.md` exists with decision candidates
- Per-pillar syntheses in `03-synthesis/SYN-*.md`
## Workflow
Use TodoWrite to track these mandatory steps:
<required>
1. Load decision candidates from cross-synthesis
2. For each candidate, gather evidence and options
3. Present trade-offs for user decision
4. Create decision entry with semantic ID
5. Identify risks created by each decision
6. Generate DECISIONS.yaml and RISKS.yaml
7. Validate decision quality gates
</required>
### Step 1: Load Decision Candidates
Read `03-synthesis/CROSS-SYNTHESIS.md` to extract:
- Decision topics needing resolution
- Supporting evidence from each pillar
- Identified options
### Step 2: Gather Evidence per Decision
For each decision candidate:
- Collect all relevant EV-* IDs
- Summarize what evidence supports each option
- Note confidence levels
```yaml
decision_candidate:
topic: target-segment-priority
options:
- name: SMB-first
evidence:
- EV-users-smb-pain-points (0.80)

How to install
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/making-decisions@sha256:f87999e537a8eb9cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260121.e9db155, 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.
