At a glance

Define clear decision rights - Decider, Approver, Veto, Consulted, Informed.

  • Works in 3 steps: Define the Decision Object → Assign Roles → Add Decision Metadata
  • Clarifying who decides
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, The Framework, The Process and Output Format, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Davci is an agent skill from itseffi/agentic-os. Define clear decision rights - Decider, Approver, Veto, Consulted, Informed. Use when clarifying who decides.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: Agentic personal OS to automate high-leverage workflows with Codex, Claude Code, Pi, OpenClaw and other coding agents/ runtime platforms. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Clarifying who decides

Example prompts

  • “/davci”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define the Decision Object
  2. Assign Roles
  3. Add Decision Metadata

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e54d0ac. 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.

    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

Davci loads about 563 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~563

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.

DAVCI Decision Rights

Define clear decision rights using the DAVCI framework.

When to Use

When you need to clarify who decides, approves, and must be consulted on a decision.

The Framework

RoleDefinitionRules
D - DeciderSingle person accountable for outcomeExactly one per decision
A - ApproverCan override the DeciderOptional; cannot be the D
V - VetoCan block for specific domainOne per domain; time-boxed
C - ConsultedHas input before decisionKeep to 5 or fewer
I - InformedNeeds to know after decisionKeep targeted

The Process

1. Define the Decision Object

Be specific about what's being decided:

  • Clear title
  • Concrete deadline
  • Decision type (Strategy, Scope, Design, Technical, Process, Risk, Commercial)
2. Assign Roles

Decider (D):

  • Who is accountable for the outcome?
  • Must be one person only

Approver (A):

  • Does D need air cover for risk/budget/politics?
  • If yes, name person one level up

Veto (V):

  • Which domains apply? (Security, Legal, Privacy, Brand, Compliance)
  • One person per domain
  • Set veto window (default: 48 hours)

Consulted (C):

  • Who has unique information to improve the decision?
  • Cap at 5; merge by role if needed

Informed (I):

  • Who must act after or needs awareness?
  • Keep targeted to those who need it
3. Add Decision Metadata
  • Deadline: Date and time
  • Escalation: If blocked 24h, escalate to whom?
  • Success test: One checkable sentence
  • Comms plan: Channel, audience, timing

Output Format

Decision: [title]
Deadline: [date/time]
Type: [Strategy/Scope/Design/Technical/Process/Risk/Commercial]

D: [name, role]
A: [name, role] or None
V: [Domain - name, window hours]
C: [role/name]; [role/name]
I: [role/name]; [role/name]

Escalation: [name, role]
Success test: [single checkable sentence]
Comms: [channel + audience + timing]

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
