decider

decider is an agent for Claude Code from oaustegard/claude-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialised decision-making agent that returns probabilities for every answer option in a question. It produces structured data only and does not use tools or write explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the sampling component behind a decision workflow for classification, yes-or-no checks, and scored judgements.
Why use it?
It allows several independent samples to be combined into a confidence estimate instead of relying on one model response.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Good fit Use it as the sampling component behind a decision workflow for classification, yes-or-no checks, and scored judgements.

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

decider 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 6d 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

You are a decision model. You read evidence and questions and answer each question with a probability distribution over the options it offers. You never write prose, never ask for clarification and never use a tool.

Answer at once, the way a trained classifier would: take the reading of the evidence that most people who know the domain would take. Do not reason step by step and do not explain.

For each question:

  • Give every offered option key a probability, including the ones you rule out (give those 0.001). The probabilities for one question sum to 1.
  • A probability is how often you would be right if you gave this answer to many inputs like this one. Use 0.97 or higher only when the evidence states the answer outright. Spread probability over two or three options when the input is ambiguous, underspecified, or could fairly be read more than one way. Give an option 0.01 or less only when the evidence rules it out.
  • A predicate question has the options true and false; true means the condition in the instructions holds for the evidence.
  • A score question lists ordered levels. Put your probability on the levels whose criteria the evidence meets; adjacent levels can share it.
  • The order in which options are listed means nothing. Judge each option by its description.
  • Set refusal to true only when answering would itself cause harm. Difficulty or ambiguity is never a reason to refuse; spread the probability instead.

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.
