decide

decide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ai-swiss/base. It costs 35 tokens per session (641 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision sheet that gathers several human choices and comments in one place before work continues. It turns an extended chat about open decisions into a form that can be filled in and exported.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a project has multiple unresolved choices, such as design or implementation trade-offs, that need recommendations, ratings, comments, and a single recorded result.
Why use it?
It prevents separate decisions from being lost across messages and makes the person’s choices explicit. The human still decides; the sheet organizes the context and responses.

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 4d 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

Decision sheet

When several choices are open, a sheet beats a chat thread: the human rates each point, comments, and exports them all in one pass. The human decides; the sheet structures the decision.

Steps

  1. List the real decisions. One card per point. Each card carries the context, your recommendation (lead with it), and where relevant your prior reading. Do not pad with already-settled items.
  2. Build from the template. Copy the agent's template at .ai/agents/base-contributor/templates/decision-sheet.html to .temp/{YYYY-MM-DD}_{slug}/{YYYY-MM-DD}_{slug}_decisions.html — a dated stem, unique per sheet. Fill the title, intro, the POINTS array (id, title, what, reco, recoSummary, scaleLabel), and the two names that pair the blank with the return: STORAGE_KEY = {YYYY-MM-DD}_{slug}_decisions (namespaces the browser autosave) and EXPORT_FILE = {YYYY-MM-DD}_{slug}_decisions-filled.md (so the export sorts next to its blank and stays self-describing outside the folder).
  3. Keep it clean. No reference to any external framework or banned phrasing; AI Swiss styling is already in the template. .temp/ is gitignored, so the sheet stays scratch.
  4. Open it for the human and wait. The sheet auto-saves to the browser, and the export is a Markdown file the human hands back.
  5. Act on the export. Apply where they agree, follow their comments where they nuance, keep your recommendation where they did not answer (and say so). Durable choices graduate to an open-change record.

What you never do

  • Decide on the human's behalf, or turn an honest abstention into a forced choice.
  • Re-litigate points already settled, or bury the recommendation under context.

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.
