What problem does it solve? Teams routinely over-deliberate cheap, reversible choices and under-deliberate expensive, irreversible ones. This Skill provides a structured procedure to classify any decision by its undo cost before committing analysis effort, so process depth always matches actual risk. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Reversibility Classification: Scores decisions as Type 2 (undo in days), Type 1.5 (undo in weeks), or Type 1 (months or effectively irreversible) based on effort, money, reputation, and dependents. - Asymmetric Downside Analysis: Compares the recoverable cost of acting wrong against the permanent losses of not acting, such as closing windows or path lock-in. - Option-Preserving Redesign: Converts irreversible commitments into reversible experiments using pilots, feature flags, versioning, and time-boxed terms. - Use Case: Before migrating a production database to a new vendor, classify the move, identify the concrete rollback path, and stage the commitment behind an abstraction layer so only the residual irreversible core gets full deliberation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to apply the reversibility framework to a decision you are facing, for example whether to adopt a new vendor or rewrite a service, and request the classification and recommended process depth.
