Use when choosing between options: just decide for a quick choice, decide or nb-decide for standard analysis, deep decide or deep-decide for deep analysis. Evaluate feasibility, reliability, total cost, delivery time, scale and reversibility.

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

# NoBrainer Decide

Deliver one ranked decision with evidence, confidence, watchpoints and kill
criteria. Do not hide behind several flavors of "it depends". This skill decides;
it does not diagnose an unknown failure or execute the chosen option.

Use `nobrainer-rca` first when the unresolved question is causal. Use
`nobrainer-research` when current external facts or a broader option space must
be established before scoring.

## Select the requested depth

Do not run a panel for a factual lookup, an already-made choice, or an obvious
reversible edit.

Match the owner's invocation, case-insensitively, longest phrase first:

| Invocation | Rigor | Work and output |
|---|---|---|
| `just decide`, `just-decide` | LIGHT | One pass; compare the credible alternatives and status quo; choice, decisive reason, main risk and next action in a short paragraph. No mandatory scorecard or panel. |
| `decide`, `nb-decide`, `nobrainer-decide` | STANDARD | Compare at least three distinct mechanisms including status quo; feasibility screen, compact comparison, challenge the leader and recommend one next action. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nobrainer-tech/nobrainer-tech-flow/nobrainer-decide@sha256:e223049be70eb2c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.d65ea2c, 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.
