What problem does it solve?

Model the evolution of design decisions in a codebase. This skill helps teams document how architecture evolved over time by representing decisions, options, and outcomes as a traceable graph.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Commit-driven design history: Build a deciduous DAG that records design decisions directly from repository history.
  • Narrative reconstruction: Surface the reasoning behind key changes, substitutions, and refactors to understand why certain paths were chosen.
  • Use Case: When refactoring a large codebase, use this skill to map decisions to commits and visualize how the design evolved.

Quick Start

Run deciduous commands in your repo to start constructing the graph from your commit history. For example: deciduous add goal "Capture design evolution" → deciduous add decision "Why this change?" → deciduous link ...
