Write a decision memo a decider can act on in one read: the situation, the options priced, the door type, one recommendation, and the dissent recorded. Use when a decision is stuck in threads and meetings, when a choice needs a sponsor's sign-off, when a team keeps re-deciding the same question, or when a reversible call is getting one-way-door treatment (or the reverse). Takes the question, the options, and the evidence on hand; returns the memo in the decision memo template and, once…
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.

How to install
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/decision-memo@sha256:e7f156e8a3eb8638The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.2bf6847, 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.
