Produce a structured decision document with explicit tradeoffs, weighted criteria, scored options, a recommendation, and a flip condition. Use whenever the user is choosing between options, comparing approaches, evaluating vendors or frameworks, or deciding between architecture patterns. Triggers on "help me decide", "compare X vs Y", "which should I pick", "should I use A or B", framework or vendor decisions, architecture choices, or any decision where a structured tradeoff would be more…
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 Doc Produces a structured decision document. Forces a recommendation with confidence and a flip condition, instead of hedging. ## When to use - Two or more options under consideration - The user wants a recommendation, not just a comparison - The decision has stakes (money, time, lock-in, reversibility) ## When NOT to use - The user is exploring a topic without a specific decision in front of them. - One option has a hard disqualifier. Just say so, no need for the full doc. - The user explicitly asks for a casual opinion. ## Process ### Step 1: Restate the decision One sentence in your own words. Flag any ambiguity that would change the answer. If ambiguity is severe, ask one clarifying question before proceeding. ### Step 2: Define criteria List 4 to 7 evaluation criteria. Assign each a weight from 1 to 5. Total weights must sum to a number between 15 and 25. This constraint prevents flattening the criteria with all-equal weights. If the user provided criteria, use those. If not, derive them from the decision context. ### Step 3: Score each option Score each option from 1 to 5 against each criterion. Compute a weighted total per option. Show the work. …

How to install
mdr add 0xelitesystem/claude-skills-templates/decision-doc@sha256:0a13100de78b8c42The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260429.1e75732, 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.
