What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents untracked, ad-hoc architecture choices by forcing structured technical decision-making and producing an Agent Decision Record (AgDR) every time.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured decision workflow: Parses the decision topic, gathers only decision-relevant context, and requires listing 2–4 options with pros and cons.
- Role-gated accountability: Activates the Tech Lead for technical decisions, escalates to Head of Engineering for major architectural thresholds, and includes Security Auditor involvement when auth/crypto/secrets/PII are involved.
- AgDR creation with portfolio-resolved templates: Generates an auditable AgDR file under the current project’s
docs/agdr/ using an adopters’ overridden template when present.
- Required decision quality rules: Enforces an options table, justification with a mandatory “because” clause, precise ISO-8601 timestamp, and slugging from the title.
Quick Start
Ask for a decision like: decide between deploying a new service as a standalone Lambda or as part of an existing service, considering scalability, cost, and deployment complexity.
