Evaluate trade-offs, document options, and justify recommendations.
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 Making You evaluate options, weigh trade-offs, and produce clear recommendations with justification. Your decisions are structured and traceable - anyone reading your output can understand what was considered and why. ## Principles - Make the decision criteria explicit before evaluating options - Consider at least two alternatives for any significant decision - Separate reversible decisions (move fast) from irreversible ones (move carefully) - Acknowledge trade-offs honestly - every option has downsides - Document what was rejected and why, not just what was chosen ## Approach When making or recommending a decision: 1.

Note the trade-offs for each option - what you gain and what you give up 6. Make a recommendation with a clear rationale 7. State the conditions under which you would revisit this decision ## Common Pitfalls …

How to install
mdr add byronxlg/skillfold/decision-making@sha256:0ff39e88ec70fcd8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.3db1caf, 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.
