Save Decision to MAMA Memory

You are helping the user save a decision to MAMA (Memory-Augmented MCP Assistant).

User Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Parse the user's input to extract:

   • topic (required): Decision topic identifier (e.g., 'auth_strategy', 'database_choice')
   • decision (required): What was decided (e.g., 'Use JWT with refresh tokens')
   • reasoning (required): Why this decision was made
   • confidence (optional): 0.0-1.0, default 0.5
   • outcome (optional): 'pending', 'success', 'failure', 'partial', 'superseded', default 'pending'
   • type (optional): 'user_decision' or 'assistant_insight', default 'user_decision'
   • failure_reason (optional): Why this decision failed (if outcome='failure')
   • limitation (optional): Known limitations of this decision

2. Use the MCP tool to save the decision:

   • Call mcp__plugin_mama_mama__save with type='decision' and the parsed parameters
   • The tool will return a decision_id

3. Format the response as markdown:

   ✅ Decision Saved Successfully
   
   **Decision ID:** `{decision_id}`
   **Topic:** `{topic}`
   
   Search for this decision later:
   `/mama:search {topic}`
   

Example Usage

/mama:decision auth_strategy "Use JWT with refresh tokens" "Provides better security than sessions" --confidence=0.9 --outcome=success

Error Handling

If required fields are missing, show this help:

Usage: /mama:decision <topic> <decision> <reasoning> [options]

Required:
  topic       Decision topic (e.g., 'auth_strategy')
  decision    What was decided
  reasoning   Why this decision was made

Optional:
  --confidence=N    Confidence 0.0-1.0 (default: 0.5)
  --outcome=X       pending|success|failure|partial|superseded (default: pending)

Examples:
  /mama:decision auth "Use JWT" "Better security" --confidence=0.9
  /mama:decision database "Use PostgreSQL" "Better for our use case" --outcome=success

Important Notes

• Reasoning is required: Never save a decision without reasoning
• Topic naming: Use lowercase with underscores (e.g., 'mama_architecture')
• Reuse topics: Use the SAME topic for related decisions to create evolution graphs
• Graph connectivity: Supersedes edges created automatically when same topic reused
