design-decision-rights

design-decision-rights is a skill for Claude Code from daddia/claude-for-strategy. It costs 53 tokens per session (970 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for assigning decision-making roles, commonly called RACI or RAPID, so each decision has one clearly responsible owner.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify who decides, who contributes, and who is informed for named decisions or business processes.
Why use it?
It exposes missing or shared ownership and prevents too many people from being treated as accountable for the same decision.

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

design-decision-rights 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 11d 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.

Design Decision Rights

When to use

Assign RACI/RAPID roles with exactly one Accountable per decision — enforce single-point accountability and flag Consulted bloat.

What this skill does not do

  • Does not diagnose structure fit — route to /operating-model:diagnose-structure-fit.
  • Does not resolve political ownership — forces a choice; strategist decides.
  • Does not implement governance systems — produces artifact for adoption.

Preconditions

Input If missing
Decisions or processes in scope Ask user to list
Practice profile (RACI vs RAPID convention) Default RACI; flag [PROVISIONAL]
Named roles/parties for assignment Ask; halt if decisions unnamed

Provisional mode

Multiple Accountable proposed: flag diffused accountability; do not finalize until single owner chosen or explicitly [review].

Trust spine

  • Confidence bands (structured-aggregation):
    • High: Every decision has exactly one Accountable; bloat flags applied.
    • Medium: Some ownership gaps with recommended owners.
    • Low: Zero Accountable on key decisions — halt output until resolved.
  • Failure modes:
    • Strategic advice vs. support: Assignments are draft for exec confirmation.
    • Client confidentiality: RACI may expose sensitive authority lines — CONFIDENTIAL header.
    • Accountability gap: "Shared ownership" rejected; forces single Accountable.
    • Analytical Rigor: MECE decision coverage in scope.
    • Incentive Gaming: Consulted bloat flagged as latency/gaming risk.
  • Escalation triggers: Unowned decisions found — name specifically, do not defer.

Workflow

  1. Read practice profile for decision-rights gaps and house convention.
  2. Assign roles per decision — R/A/C/I or RAPID equivalent.
  3. Enforce exactly one Accountable — stop if zero; flag if multiple.
  4. Check Consulted bloat — long lists that slow decisions materially.
  5. Find unowned decisions — no claimed owner during exercise.
  6. Completeness check before output.

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.
