collaborative-judgment SKILL.md skillA
collaborative-judgment from techygarg/lattice is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add techygarg/lattice/collaborative-judgment@git:20260903.83fa756Pins git:20260903.83fa756 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Protocol for handling ambiguous decisions and missing/conflicting knowledge during code generation, design, and review. Ensures AI surfaces genuine judgment calls with structured options and stops on hallucination risk instead of silently assuming. Use when a decision has multiple valid approaches, when facts are missing or contradictory, when the user asks 'what should we do here?', 'is this a judgment call?', 'should I ask about this?', 'am I guessing here?', 'what are the tradeoffs?', or…
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
# Collaborative Judgment ## When to Decide vs When to Ask Most decisions are NOT ambiguous. The AI decides on its own when: - **The rule is clear.** An 80-line function doing 5 things violates SRP. A domain entity importing the database breaks the dependency rule. Fix it. - **The project has a documented preference.** The knowledge base, refiner docs, or context anchor specify the choice -- follow it. That is not ambiguity; it is documented intent. - **The impact is low.** Variable naming, import order, test data -- choose and move on. - **Grounding is solid.** You can point to a source: user instruction, inspected code/artifact, failing test/log, knowledge base, refiner doc, context anchor. Never take a repo-specific fact from memory alone. Surface a decision only when ALL three are true: 1. **Multiple valid approaches** -- a genuine fork between reasonable options. 2. **No active context resolves it** -- user instruction, inspected code/artifacts, current evidence, knowledge base, refiner docs, and context anchor have all been checked. Still unresolved. 3. **Consequences are meaningful** -- affects architecture, behavior, or maintainability. Not cosmetic. …

How to install
mdr add techygarg/lattice/collaborative-judgment@sha256:7d776e040b55f8d3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.83fa756, 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.
