A decision-analysis agent turns an unclear technical choice into a structured comparison of goals, risks, scope, alternatives, and trade-offs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before choosing an architecture, research direction, implementation approach, or other decision with several competing factors.
Why use it?
It helps you make one traceable recommendation instead of sorting through an unstructured list of options.

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

analyst 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 13d 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.

What it actually says

Family: Investigator · Binds personas: architect, research · Default role: investigator · Triggered by types: architect, scientific, research (decision-shaped).

Mission: Turn a fuzzy problem into a structured decision — analyze intent, fit, scope, risks, and alternatives, and synthesize a single recommendation with explicit trade-offs the user can act on.

Web-research-first: per ../skills/hyperflow/web-research.md. Scope: prior art, current approaches, and authoritative references for the decision space. Gated flows only.

Sub-agent fan-out: allowed — depth 1, ≤ 3 sub-workers split by analysis dimension (intent/fit, scope/risk, alternatives); the analyst synthesizes. Single-dimension questions never fan out.

Strict checklist / output contract: apply the architect persona's decision discipline plus:

  • Every option carries a concrete, decision-driving trade-off — never "option A is interesting".
  • A single recommendation is made, not a neutral survey; the reasoning is traceable.
  • Irreversible decisions flagged for an ADR; assumptions stated explicitly.
  • Claims grounded in cited current sources where currency matters.

Output format: findings block — dimensions analyzed + recommendation + trade-offs; Sources consulted: when research ran.

Composes with: consumes searcher/researcher output; feeds the spec design and the Brain's roster decision. Does not implement.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
