hdd-decide-brief

hdd-decide-brief is a command for Claude Code from Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox. It costs 6 tokens per session (249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision workflow that compares validation results with the acceptance criteria in a staging Architecture Decision Record (ADR).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to accept or reject an ADR, move it to the appropriate folder, summarize its impact or lessons, and record the final decision.
Why use it?
It ensures technical decisions are based on recorded evidence and preserves what was learned from failed approaches.

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

hdd-decide-brief 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 yesterday.

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

HDD Decide Module

Inputs

  • task_goal
  • paths_to_inspect
  • acceptance_checks
  • staging_adr_path
  • hypothesis_results

Steps

  1. Evaluate validation outcomes against acceptance criteria.
  2. Determine decision: accept or reject.
  3. If accept, migrate ADR to accepted path and summarize impact.
  4. If reject, migrate ADR to rejected path with failure learnings.
  5. Emit final workflow decision record.

Outputs

  • status
  • summary
  • artifacts
  • open_risks
  • decision

Stop Conditions

  • Success: ADR migrated to accepted or rejected with rationale.
  • Failure: decision cannot be made due to incomplete validation.
  • Escalation: user checkpoint required but unavailable.
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.
