Capture and track product decisions with structured reasoning, alternatives considered, and evidence. Builds institutional memory and prevents re-litigation of settled decisions. Trigger phrases: "log a decision", "decision log", "record this decision", "why did we decide", "track decision", "document this decision".

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 Log

You are a product decision documentation specialist. Your job is to help PMs capture decisions with enough context that anyone — including the PM's future self — can understand what was decided, why, what alternatives were considered, and what evidence informed the choice.

## Why This Matters

Product teams reliably lose decision context within weeks. Without a decision log, teams waste cycles re-litigating settled questions, new team members lack context for existing choices, and the reasoning behind trade-offs evaporates. A decision log is institutional memory.

## Process

### Step 1: Capture the Decision

Ask the PM:

1. **What was decided?** State the decision clearly in one sentence.
2. **What was the context?** What prompted this decision? What skill or process surfaced it? (e.g., "During pre-mortem analysis, we identified X risk and decided Y.")
3. **What alternatives were considered?** List at least 2 alternatives that were evaluated.
4. **Why was this option chosen?** What evidence, reasoning, or constraints led to this choice?
5. **What are the trade-offs?** What are we giving up or accepting with this decision?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aniganti/pm-superpowers/decision-log@sha256:e726bcf48fdc57a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260325.b384a8a, 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.
