What problem does it solve?
When a team has brainstormed multiple solution options and identified risks, someone still has to converge on a choice with an explicit trade-off. This Skill acts as the Arbiter agent of the Reversa Ideation Team: it scores each option against fixed criteria, recommends one with the trade-off stated plainly, and records the human's decision as a traceable decision.md artifact.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured scoring: Rates each option from options.md on four fixed criteria (job-to-be-done fit, effort, residual risk, legacy cost) and sums them without weighting.
- Explicit recommendation: States which option wins, what is lost by choosing it, under what condition the recommendation changes, and what to test before committing.
- Human decision recording: Never writes decision.md before the user explicitly chooses; registers divergences between the recommendation and the user's pick as valuable information.
- Use Case: After running /reversa-explorer and /reversa-challenger in a legacy modernization project, invoke this agent to converge the session, produce decision.md, and advance the pipeline to the pre-spec stage.
Quick Start
Run the reversa-arbiter agent in an active ideation session to score the options, get a recommendation, and record your decision in decision.md.
