SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you decide by turning a vague “help me choose” situation into a structured decision process, ensuring you consider the real options and choose the most appropriate analysis approach.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routes the right decision workflow (option mapping, criteria weighting, premortem analysis, reversibility analysis) based on what you’re missing in your decision.
  • Builds a complete option inventory so you don’t fall into false dichotomies or ignore alternatives.
  • Produces actionable decision outputs like ranked matrices, failure-mode stress tests, and a recommended level of process by reversibility.
  • Use cases: choosing between competing strategies, stress-testing a direction before committing, comparing options against weighted criteria, and determining how much deliberation a “big” decision deserves.

Quick Start

Ask for decision help by saying: "decision: I need help choosing between these options—here’s my situation and constraints."

Frequently Asked Questions about decision

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between competing strategies using weighted criteria?▼

A premortem analysis stress-tests a direction before committing by producing failure-mode stress tests. It identifies likely failure paths for your chosen strategy and generates specific mitigations to reduce risk before you execute.

What is the best way to avoid false dichotomies in decision-making?▼

Reversibility analysis calibrates deliberation by scoring how reversible a decision is. It returns a recommended process level, helping you determine how much time and process a big decision actually deserves based on whether it can be undone.

How do I run a premortem analysis to stress-test a direction before committing?▼

A premortem analysis stress-tests a direction before committing by producing failure-mode stress tests. It identifies likely failure paths for your chosen strategy and generates specific mitigations to reduce risk before you execute.

When do I need reversibility analysis for big decisions?▼

Reversibility analysis calibrates deliberation by scoring how reversible a decision is. It returns a recommended process level, helping you determine how much time and process a big decision actually deserves based on whether it can be undone.
