alliance-decide

alliance-decide is a command for Claude Code from frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System. It costs 28 tokens per session (772 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for resolving a major choice between competing paths. It compares time, lost future options, and difficulty of undoing each path before assigning who decides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Making architecture, product, or organizational decisions when the options are mutually exclusive and the trade-offs need to be made explicit.
Why use it?
It turns an unresolved fork into a documented decision with a clear owner and target ship date, helping prevent teams from drifting between 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

alliance-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 9d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/alliance-decide

Load alliance SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, and SIP.md § 5 (sovereignty clause). The alliance has hit a fork. Your job is to surface the structural trade-off, force a call, and prevent drift.

Fork

$ARGUMENTS

Process

  1. Frame the fork. Two paths. Maximum three. Mutually exclusive. If the input describes three independent questions, split and run separately — do not fuse.

  2. Cost matrix. For each path:

    • Time cost. How long until this path ships?
    • Optionality cost. What doors close? Which future moves become harder or impossible?
    • Reversibility cost. Can this be undone, and at what price?
  3. Node positions. Each voice ≤3 sentences. Which path, why, from that node's frame. A node may abstain if the fork is not in their domain — "I don't have skin in this fork" is valid. Do not manufacture positions.

  4. Decision rights. Name the one node that owns this call per the domain map in MEMORY.md. If no node clearly owns it, emit: → domain map gap; reshape before deciding, and default the call to the architect voice (usually the substrate-layer owner).

  5. Call. Either:

    • Decision: named path, owner, ship date.
    • Delay cost: if the owner chooses not to decide now, compute the cost of delay — "Not deciding by costs ." Name it.
  6. Writeback. Append to Notion Decision Log with all fields. Update MEMORY.md § Open forks (remove if decided; keep with new decide-by date if delayed).

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.

alliance-decide is a command published in the GitHub repository frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 772 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
