What it does
Decision Hold Lifecycle is an agent skill from kunchenguid/firstmate. Renamed pointer kept for in-flight briefs: the decisions concept collapsed into "a task held for the captain". Load captain-hold-lifecycle instead; this stub only redirects and will be removed one release after the collapse.
Its SKILL.md is about 200 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: Talk to one agent. Ship with a crew. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “a task held for the captain”
- “/decision-hold-lifecycle”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c58ec8. 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
Decision Hold Lifecycle loads about 201 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 59 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.

decision-hold-lifecycle (renamed)
The separate decision concept was collapsed into the one primitive the captain cares about: a task held for the captain.
Read and follow .agents/skills/captain-hold-lifecycle/SKILL.md; it owns the completion gate, the recorded-answer rule, and every command this skill used to describe.
Where an older brief says bin/fm-decision-hold.sh, that command still works as a one-release compatibility shim over bin/fm-captain-hold.sh.
