pulse skillA
pulse is agent-read markdown (skill) from notactuallytreyanastasio/deciduous: Map the current model as decisions - no history, just now.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Pulse
**Map the current model as decisions. No history, just now.**
## Step 1: Get current state
```bash
deciduous pulse
```
Review the report: active goals, coverage gaps, orphan nodes. This tells you what's already mapped and what needs attention.
## Step 2: Pick a scope
What part of the system are you taking the pulse of?
- A feature ("Suspense fallback behavior")
- A subsystem ("Authentication")
- A boundary ("API request lifecycle")
## Step 3: Ask "What decisions define this?"
Read the code. For the thing you're scoping, ask:
> "What design questions had to be answered for this to work?"
Not implementation questions ("which library?") - model questions ("what's the behavior?")
## Step 4: Build the goal -> options -> decisions
```bash
# Create the root goal
deciduous add goal "<Scope>: <Core question>" -c 90
# Add options (possible approaches from the goal)
deciduous add option "<Possible approach>" -c 85
deciduous link <goal> <option> -r "possible_approach"
# When an option is chosen, create a decision
deciduous add decision "Chose <approach>" -c 90
deciduous link <option> <decision> -r "chosen"
```
