What it does
Decide is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. /cs:decide <memo — Log a decision to two-layer memory via decision-logger. Approved memo becomes durable; raw transcripts kept for reference. Use when the founder has approved a boardroom memo and the decision must become durable company memory — e.g. right after /cs:boardroom concludes.
Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The founder has approved a boardroom memo and the decision must become durable company memory — e.g
Example prompts
- “/decide”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Raw transcripts — every boardroom session, every advisor's Phase 2 position, every dissent. Stored under ~/.claude/decisions/raw/…
- Approved decisions — only the founder-signed memos. Stored under ~/.claude/decisions/approved/. Feeds into future /cs:office-hours and…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Decide loads about 871 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- /cs:decide <memo> — Log a decision to two-layer memory via decision-logger. Approved memo becomes durable; raw transcripts kept for reference. Use when the founder has approved a boardroom memo and the decision must become durable company memory — e.g. right after /cs:boardroom concludes.
/cs:decide — Log the Decision
Command: /cs:decide <memo-path>
Logs the founder's decision via the decision-logger skill. This is the gate where in-session deliberation becomes durable company memory.
Pipeline Position
/cs:office-hours → /cs:brief → /cs:boardroom → /cs:decide → /cs:execute → /cs:post-mortem
↑ you are hereTwo-Layer Memory Model
The decision-logger skill maintains two layers:
- Raw transcripts — every boardroom session, every advisor's Phase 2 position, every dissent. Stored under
~/.claude/decisions/raw/. Reference only, never feeds back automatically. - Approved decisions — only the founder-signed memos. Stored under
~/.claude/decisions/approved/. Feeds into future/cs:office-hoursand/cs:founder-modecalls.
This split prevents the system from "remembering" unresolved debates as if they were decisions.
Input
A board memo file (output of /cs:boardroom).
Workflow
- Read the memo path
- Verify it has founder approval (status: APPROVED)
- Extract structured decision record:
- Decision title
- Date decided
- Option chosen
- Success + kill criteria
- Dissent (preserved)
- Review checkpoint date
- Append to
~/.claude/decisions/approved/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md - Update the raw transcript pointer
- If llm-wiki bridge configured, write to vault (
~/company-vault/10-decisions/) - Schedule auto-revisit (90 days)
Output Record Format
# Decision: <title>
**Decided:** YYYY-MM-DD
**By:** <founder name>
**Memo:** <link to boardroom memo>
**Brief:** <link to original brief>
**Review checkpoint:** YYYY-MM-DD (90d default)
## Decision
**Chose:** <option>
**Rejected:** <other options + one-line why>
## Success Criteria (binding)
- <metric, threshold, timeframe>
## Kill Criteria (binding)
- <metric, threshold, action>
## Preserved Dissent
- **<dissenter>:** <unresolved concern>
- (preserved verbatim; dissent never erased)
## Next Action
- `/cs:execute` → 90-day plan due <date>
## Status History
- YYYY-MM-DD: APPROVEDWhy Preserved Dissent
The biggest risk in approved decisions is forgetting why someone disagreed. When the kill criteria trigger, the dissent often turns out to have been correct. Preserving it verbatim — not summarized — keeps the company honest at post-mortem time.
Routing
/cs:execute <decision>— build the 90-day plan/cs:freeze <decision> <days>— lock if irreversible- (Auto-scheduled)
/cs:post-mortem <decision>— at 90-day checkpoint
Stale-Decision Audit
cs-chief-of-staff runs a weekly stale audit:
- Decisions > 90 days without revisit → flag for
/cs:post-mortem - Decisions with kill criteria triggered → flag immediately
- Decisions whose company-context.md basis has changed → flag for re-examination
