What it does

Decision Quality Check is an agent skill from nightly-labs/openbot. Add a brief, concrete self-check to consequential recommendations, estimates, plans, or interpretations when unverified assumptions could change what the user does.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 Agent Workflows, covering Verification before completion. The repository describes itself as: A local-first desktop workspace for persistent AI teammates. Run Codex, Claude, and Grok with dedicated workspaces, task queues, file sharing, browser control, and agent-to-agent…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Verification before completion

Example prompts

  • “/decision-quality-check”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c7d6ee9. 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 Quality Check loads about 304 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 138 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~304

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 138 words (~304 tokens).

“Use this only after producing substantive work the user may act on, such as a recommendation, estimate, plan, proposal, or interpretation. Skip it for simple lookups, educational explanations, creative work, formatting, executable code, or requests that already ask for verification…”
