  • Works in 5 steps: Parse Input → Create Decision Note → Auto-Link → …

What it does

Decide is an agent skill from kv0906/pm-kit. Log a decision with context, alternatives considered, and rationale. Use for "/decide project: using websocket over polling" or "/decide project: chose React for frontend".

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Realtime and WebSockets. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: AI-augmented PM workspace for Coding Agents — daily standups, decisions, blockers, docs, and sprint reviews as markdown skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • /decide project: using websocket over polling
  • /decide project: chose React for frontend

Example prompts

  • “/decide project: using websocket over polling”
  • “/decide project: chose React for frontend”
  • “/decide”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Input
  2. Create Decision Note
  3. Auto-Link
  4. Update References
  5. Append to Vault Log

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2cb5d9f. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • TaskCreate
    • TaskUpdate
    • TaskList
    • TaskGet

    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

Decide loads about 387 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~387

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.
