Decision support — criteria, scenarios, patterns, recommendation.

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

# Decide — Fast Decision

**One sentence in, one recommendation out.**

---

## Step 1 — Get the question

Use the skill arg if provided. If the conversation makes the question obvious, use that (Recommended). Otherwise ask:

```
AskUserQuestion: "What's the decision? One sentence."
```

---

<!-- ruflo preamble -->
ToolSearch("select:mcp__ruflo__memory_search_unified")

## Step 2 — Detect complexity

Before answering, classify the question:

**Simple** (fast lane → skip to Step 4):
- One option to evaluate (go/no-go, yes/no)
- Task selection ("what to work on next?")
- Urgency ("should I do X now or later?")

**Complex** (ask first):
- 2+ named alternatives (A vs B vs C)
- Strategic direction (which product area, which market, which architecture)
- Multi-criteria with real trade-offs (cost vs speed vs quality)
- High stakes, hard to reverse

For **complex** questions, surface the right framework before answering:

```
AskUserQuestion:
  question: "This has multiple alternatives/dimensions. How deep do you want to go?"
  header: "Depth"
  options:
    - label: "Quick take — best guess now"
      description: "I give a recommendation with brief reasoning. Fast, opinionated."
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/decide@sha256:1fd2bebc7c5125ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.579b97d, 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.
