SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 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.
