Present options with trade-offs for informed decision-making — use when choosing between approaches.
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 Support & Options Presentation
## Overview
Structured approach to presenting options and alternatives with clear trade-offs, enabling informed decision-making.
**Core principle:** Understand context → Generate options → Analyze trade-offs → Present clearly → Support choice.
---
## When to Use
**Use this skill when user:**
- Asks for options or alternatives
- Says "fix or provide options"
- Needs help deciding between approaches
- Wants to see different ways to solve a problem
- Is uncertain about best path forward
**Do NOT use for:**
- General research ("what is X?") → use flow-probe
- Implementation work → use flow-tangle
- Simple yes/no questions
- Already-decided approaches
---
## The Process
### Phase 1: Context Understanding
#### Step 1: Understand the Decision Point
```markdown
**Decision Context:**
What needs to be decided: [the core question]
Why it matters: [impact of this decision]
Constraints: [time, resources, compatibility, etc.]
Current state: [what exists now]
```
#### Step 2: Gather Requirements
Use AskUserQuestion if needed to understand:
- Must-have requirements
- Nice-to-have features
- Deal-breakers
- Timeline constraints

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-decision-support@sha256:320897021257d22aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.ac31d4d, 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.
