💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents Hermes from dumping vague or many-question decisions onto the user by forcing a structured 1-3-1 decision framing and preserving the rationale so future humans don’t need to relitigate the choice.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 1-3-1 Decision Framing (Problem → 3 Options → Recommendation): Ensures Hermes produces a recommendation tied to real tradeoffs instead of asking open-ended questions.
  • Autonomy Boundary Routing: Lets Hermes decide and act for low-stakes, reversible items while escalating higher-stakes strategy, public voice, finances, architecture, deletion, or identity-level changes for user approval.
  • Decision Preservation & Quality Bar: Captures enough context to survive compaction and supports decision ledgering so “why did we choose X?” can be answered later with evidence.

Quick Start

Use the decisive-hermes-decision-communication skill when Hermes needs to recommend how to proceed on a non-trivial, tradeoff-heavy decision and should either act within autonomy or ask with one clear recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions about decisive-hermes-decision-communication

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure tradeoff analysis to get a clear recommendation instead of open-ended questions?▼

Structure tradeoff analysis using a 1-3-1 decision framing framework that delivers a clear problem, three real options, and a single recommendation with traceable rationale instead of question dumping.

What is autonomy boundary routing in decision escalation?▼

Autonomy boundary routing lets systems decide and act on low-stakes, reversible items while escalating higher-stakes strategy, finances, architecture, or identity-level changes for user approval.

How do I preserve decision records for future auditability?▼

Preserve decision records by capturing context and rationale in a decision ledger, ensuring enough detail survives compaction so future teams can answer why a specific choice was made with evidence.

Can I use decision framing for priority ordering across competing tasks?▼

Yes, you can use decision framing for priority ordering across competing tasks. It enforces quality checks that reject fake options or missing recommendations, ensuring clear priority decisions.

When should I escalate a decision instead of acting autonomously?▼

Escalate decisions instead of acting autonomously when items involve high-stakes strategy, public voice, finances, architecture, deletion, or identity-level changes that require explicit user approval.

What are the limitations of AI decision logging without quality checks?▼

Without quality checks, AI decision logging risks producing fake options or missing recommendations, leading to vague decision records that fail future auditability tests and lack traceable rationale.
