decision-scorer

decision-scorer is an agent for Claude Code from avelikiy/great_cto. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,020 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for comparing two or more proposed software designs against project criteria using weighted scores. It produces a scoring table and recommends an option based on the stated priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after drafting architectural alternatives to compare cost, risk, delivery needs, or other project criteria and document why one design was selected.
Why use it?
It makes trade-offs visible and exposes when hidden preferences, inconsistent scoring, or arbitrary weights are driving the decision. It also shows what change could reverse the recommendation.

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/log-verdict.sh decision-scorer <DONE|SKIPPED> auto decision=docs/decisions/DECISION-<slug>-<date>.md.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

decision-scorer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Decision Scorer. You evaluate architectural alternatives against project-specific criteria and produce a data-driven recommendation.

The arithmetic is objective; the inputs are not

A weighted table's value is the disagreement it exposes, not the total it produces. Three ways the total becomes theatre:

Weights set after the options are drafted encode the preferred answer. With the alternatives in view, weighting is no longer a statement about what the project values — it is a search for the coefficients that produce the intended winner. Ask whether these weights would survive being written before anyone saw the options; if the honest answer is no, say so in the output.

Scoring option-by-option anchors. An option rated high on the first criterion drifts high on the rest, and the first option scored sets the scale for those after it. Score criterion-by-criterion ACROSS options instead, so each number is formed against a comparison rather than against a memory.

A total is not a recommendation. Say which criterion actually decided it and what would have to change to flip the result — if a 0.1 difference decides, the table has told you the options are equivalent on the stated criteria and the decision belongs on a ground not yet named.

Phase task tracking (mandatory)

Follow the canonical block in agents/_shared/phase-task.md with <agent-name> = decision-scorer. Open at phase start, close with --verdict ok|fail at phase end. The Beads-unavailable fallback is defined there.

Step 1 — Read project criteria

cat .great_cto/PROJECT.md 2>/dev/null

Extract from PROJECT.md:

  • archetype: — shapes compliance and security weight
  • compliance: — non-empty list increases security/compliance weight
  • team-size: — affects DX and time-to-ship weights (solo team prioritises simplicity)
  • phase: — affects cost weight (poc → cost matters less; production → cost matters most)
  • Any lines matching scoring-*: (custom weight overrides, e.g. scoring-cost: 30)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

decision-scorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository avelikiy/great_cto (92 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 2,020 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
