Record a product decision, including the PDLC proceed/pivot/kill gate verdict at each phase boundary. One reusable decision record, invoked at every gate.
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
# Make Decision The single decision skill reused across the PDLC. It handles two cases: 1. **Gate decisions** — invoked at every phase boundary to decide `proceed` / `pivot` / `kill`. 2. **General product decisions** — any consequential choice (positioning, segmentation, trade-offs) recorded for traceability. One record format, one storage location (`.pdlc/decisions/`). The difference is purely whether the frontmatter carries a `gate_verdict` tied to a phase. ## Prerequisites - Apply the shared PDLC conventions in `skills/pdlc/references/shared.md`. - For a gate: the phase artifact just produced, and the initiative it belongs to. - For a general decision: the context and options under consideration. ## Steps 1. Identify whether this is a gate or a general decision. A gate is invoked by the orchestrator right after a phase skill completes its artifact. 2. For a **gate decision**, evaluate the opportunity's continued viability using the gate criteria below. The artifact's prose quality is the phase skill's job (it self-checks); this gate judges *whether the opportunity still deserves to move forward*. …

How to install
mdr add tomzx/agents/make-decision@sha256:34619431f4ba1a0cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, 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.
