Produces a decision journal entry that records a consequential decision at the moment it is made - the decision, the rationale, the predicted outcome, an explicit confidence level, and the assumptions it rests on - so it can be honestly reviewed later against what actually happened. Use when committing to a consequential, uncertain decision (a launch, hire, investment, bet, or strategic choice) and you want to lock in the prediction now to defeat hindsight bias and build calibration, or when…
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.

# Decision Journal
A decision journal records a decision *at the moment it is made* - the decision, the rationale, the predicted outcome, an explicit confidence level, and the assumptions it rests on - so it can be reviewed later against what actually happened. The load-bearing move is **timing**: the prediction is fixed in place before the outcome is known, while the reasoning and the felt confidence are still uncontaminated by the result. That contemporaneous record is the one reliable defense against hindsight bias ("I knew it all along"), it separates decision quality from outcome quality, and it supplies the recorded-prediction half of a calibration loop. The output is a structured **decision journal entry**, not prose, designed to be reopened and scored later.
## When to Use
- At the point of committing to a consequential, genuinely uncertain decision: a launch, hire, investment, vendor choice, bet, or strategic direction.
- When you can still state an honest prediction, confidence level, and set of assumptions before the outcome is known.

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-decision-journal@sha256:f15f5834d5dcbdf9The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
