A structured technical decision process that compares options, records the choice, and creates an Agent Decision Record, a written history of why the decision was made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing a library, deciding how to implement caching, or making another technical decision that should be documented.
Why use it?
It turns an informal coding choice into a reviewable decision with its context, trade-offs, and justification.

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

decide 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 1mo 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/decide - Technical Decision Gate

Forces structured decision-making and creates an auditable Agent Decision Record (AgDR).

Trigger

/decide "what you're deciding"
/decide which state management library to use
/decide how to implement caching

Process

1. Parse Decision Topic

Extract the decision topic from input. If unclear, ask:

What technical decision do you need to make?

2. Gather Context

Identify decision-relevant context only:

  • What problem are we solving?
  • What constraints exist?
  • What's already in the codebase?

3. List Options

Present 2-4 options in a table:

| Option | Pros | Cons |
|--------|------|------|
| Option A | ... | ... |
| Option B | ... | ... |

4. Make Decision

State the chosen option with justification.

5. Generate AgDR

Create file at {project-root}/docs/agdr/AgDR-{NNNN}-{slug}.md:

---
id: AgDR-{NNNN}
timestamp: {ISO-8601: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ}
agent: claude-code
model: {model-id from environment}
session: {session-id if available}
trigger: user-prompt
status: executed
---

# {short title}

> In the context of {context}, facing {concern}, I decided {decision} to achieve {goal}, accepting {tradeoff}.

## Context
{Decision-relevant context only - 2-4 bullets}

## Options Considered
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|--------|------|------|
| ... | ... | ... |

## Decision
Chosen: **{option}**, because {justification}.

## Consequences
- {consequence 1}
- {consequence 2}

## Artifacts
- {commit/PR links when available}

6. Get Next ID

# Find highest existing AgDR number
ls docs/agdr/AgDR-*.md 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1 | grep -oP 'AgDR-\K\d+'
# Increment by 1, or start at 0001

7. Return Decision

Output the decision so work can continue:

Decision: {chosen option}

AgDR-{NNNN} created at docs/agdr/AgDR-{NNNN}-{slug}.md

Proceeding with: {brief action}

Rules

  1. Always create AgDR - No decision without a record
  2. Context is minimal - Only what influenced the decision
  3. Y-statement required - One-line summary at top
  4. Options table required - At least 2 options compared
  5. Justification required - "because" clause mandatory
  6. Timestamp precise - Full ISO-8601 with time
  7. Slug from title - Lowercase, hyphens, max 50 chars

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.
