What it does

Decide is an agent skill from juanandresgs/claude-ctrl. Generate an interactive decision configurator from research or plan analysis. Presents options as explorable cards with trade-offs, costs, and filtering. Integrates with Planner to collect DEC-ID decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts (for example `fixtures/monitor-setup.json`, `fixtures/tech-stack.json` and `schema/decision-config.schema.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: DEPRECATED / UNMAINTAINED — historical reference only. Do not install or rely on this project.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/decide”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Decision Source
  2. Decompose Decisions
  3. Generate Config JSON
  4. Build and Serve
  5. Report Back & Wait for Decisions
  6. Read Confirmed Decisions
  7. Integrate Decisions
  8. Purchase Decision: Monitor Setup
  9. Technical Decision: Tech Stack
  10. Planner invokes /decide
  11. User interacts in browser
  12. Skill reads decisions back (Phase 6)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dfbdd82. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • make

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • amazon.com

    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 6.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,869 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,869 words (~6,075 tokens).

“Generate interactive decision configurators that transform complex trade-off analysis into explorable interfaces. Presents options as cards with visual hierarchy, automatic filtering, cascading dependencies, and live cost tracking.”
