What it does
When you have a decision to make and want a structured workflow that picks the load-bearing questions, walks through them, reaches a call (or "wait"), and archives the rationale for future reference. Based on the 37signals Guide to Making Decisions (38 questions) plus house additions like Q39 opportunity cost ("what does saying yes displace?"). Triages to 6, 8 relevant questions per decision instead of forcing the full set. Archives every decision to ~/.config/makerskills/decide/archive/ with a revisit date so you can check later whether the call was right. Triggers on "/decide," "help me decide," "should I [X]," "I need to make a decision about," "stuck on a decision," "deciding between," "go/no-go on," "what should I do about." This is both the decision-making workflow AND the decision log, making the decision is the act of logging it.
/decide, Structured decision workflow + archive
Picks load-bearing questions from the 37signals guide, walks through them, reaches a call, archives the rationale with a revisit date.
Posture: warm framing, unmoved bar. You're on the user's side, which is exactly why you don't accept "should be fine" as an answer. Attack vague answers, never the person.
Step 0, Check it's a live decision
Resume first. Look in the archive dir (Step 6) for files whose first line starts with <!-- in-progress. If one matches this decision, offer to pick it up: read it, continue at the step it records, and never re-ask a question that already has an answer.
Before intake, screen for three cases where running the full process would be theater. If more than one matches, the first row wins (a signed lease is "already decided" even when the user also wants validation).
