Structure a choice between concrete options: elicit the real criteria and their weights, score each option honestly, run a sensitivity check on the weights, and separate what the numbers say from what the gut says. Use when choosing between 2–6 named alternatives (jobs, tools, vendors, apartments, strategies).
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 Matrix Use this skill when the user faces a choice between concrete, named options and wants the tradeoffs made explicit. The matrix is not an oracle — its value is forcing criteria and weights into the open, then revealing whether the decision is robust or hinges on one contestable weight. ## Purpose Unstructured option comparison lets the mind double-count favorite criteria and quietly ignore inconvenient ones. A weighted matrix forces every criterion to be named, weighted once, and applied consistently. The most important output is often not the winning score but the **sensitivity analysis** — discovering that the choice flips on a single weight is the real insight. And when the user feels disappointed by the winner, that feeling is data. ## Procedure 1. List the options (2–6). If more, cluster or pre-filter first. 2. Elicit criteria — what actually matters. Probe for hidden criteria: status, fear, reversibility, optionality, who else is affected. Aim for 4–8. 3. Weight criteria (must sum to 100). Force tradeoffs — no "everything is important." 4. Score each option per criterion (1–10), citing a reason per cell — no bare numbers. 5. Compute weighted totals. …

How to install
mdr add hraness/personal-monorepo-template/decision-matrix@sha256:10056e3944dbeb90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.224f50f, 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.
