What problem does it solve? Significant decisions often get made on vague problem framing, unexamined assumptions, or a narrow set of options. This Skill structures the thinking process before a decision is made, so the choice rests on a clear problem statement, explicit constraints, and honestly evaluated alternatives. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Problem Framing: Sharpens vague or solution-biased problem statements through targeted probing questions, one at a time. - Forces and Constraints Mapping: Works through hard constraints, soft constraints, assumptions, stakeholders, and reversibility, naming tensions between them. - Alternative Generation and Evaluation: Pushes for conservative and radical options beyond the ones already in mind, then plays devil's advocate on each. - Use Case: A tech lead is torn between Postgres and MySQL. The Skill zooms out to the underlying data problem, surfaces cost and team-capability constraints, evaluates three options including a radical one, and hands off to /log-decision to record the outcome. ## Quick Start Invoke /decide with your decision topic, such as asking to think through whether to migrate the monolith to microservices.
