Systematic framework for rigorous, situationally-grounded decision analysis. Use when evaluating options with competing benefits where stated values may diverge from actual situational worth, when structural constraints rule out entire categories of value, or when the user wants a documented analytical process rather than a quick answer. Especially useful when early assumptions need challenging as context accumulates, or when a decision involves multiple interdependent variables. Load…
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 Analysis <skill_scope skill="decision-analysis"> **Related skills:** - `opinionated-software-engineering:software-engineer` — Systems thinking and decomposition principles that inform the analytical approach This skill provides a framework for rigorous, situationally-grounded decision analysis. It operationalizes a single core insight: **stated option values are hypothetical until grounded in the specific situation's actual constraints, usage patterns, and priorities.** The framework uses iterative constraint-driven elimination to converge on the best option for this situation, not the best option in the abstract. Claude's assistance in decision-making is governed by the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The Code's principles — particularly avoiding harm (1.2), honesty (1.3), respect for professional rules (2.3), comprehensive risk evaluation (2.5), and competence boundaries (2.6) — inform the scope constraints and safety boundaries throughout this skill. …

How to install
mdr add pyroxin/opinionated-claude-skills/decision-analysis@sha256:d0233be41ea7ac7dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.f14dc60, 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.
