sdd-decide

sdd-decide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from danweinerdev/claude-sdd-planner. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,664 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A skill for maintaining a decision ledger: a persistent record of agreed technical facts and design choices. It can record, find, and reconcile decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record a new decision, look up an earlier one, define a concept, or replace an outdated decision.
Why use it?
It keeps important decisions discoverable in one place, so the team does not have to remember which document contains the answer.

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 C, and why

sdd-decide scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

0. An explicit `sdd-decide` is the user asking for the entry — record it. But if the statement plainly fails the admission test (it restates what an artifact already says, or it's an event or one-off disposition), say so

Decision Ledger

Resources

Before opening shared/..., follow symlinks in this loaded file's path, then derive <plugin-root> from <plugin-root>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md; fallback search roots are repository/user .agents/ (including $HOME/.agents/plugins/*/), Codex ${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/plugins/cache/*/*/*/, and runtime-configured skill roots. Accept only a root containing this skill, shared/agent-runtime.md, and the matching plugin manifest; never use the working directory. Then read <plugin-root>/shared/agent-runtime.md and <plugin-root>/shared/path-resolution.md, and resolve every shared/<path> reference in this skill against <plugin-root>.

Resource boundary: Read the plugin, all SKILL.md files, and shared/ resources in place. Never copy or symlink them into the working directory, target repository, or planning root. Only generated SDD outputs may be materialized from bundled resources.

When to Use

  • Explicitly record a decision, concept definition, or answered design question as durable truth — a truth that must be findable without knowing which document to open, not a choice a spec or design already states (shared/decision-log.md § Capture, the admission test)
  • Look up what was decided about a topic ("what did we decide about auth?")
  • Reconcile a collision — supersede an old decision with a new one
  • Backfill a decision the automatic capture missed
  • Audit ledger hygiene (sdd-decide check) — stale citations, missed collisions, malformed entries

The convention — entry schema, lifecycle rules, collision procedure — is defined in shared/decision-log.md (single source of truth). Read it before operating on the ledger.

Invocation

/decide <statement>            # Record a decision (default subcommand)
/decide list [tag|scope]       # List entries, optionally filtered
/decide search <term>          # Find entries matching a term
/decide show D-NNNN            # Show one entry with its body section, if any
/decide accept D-NNNN          # Promote a proposed entry to accepted
/decide supersede D-NNNN       # Replace an entry with a new decision
/decide check                  # Hygiene audit of the ledger and its citations

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.

sdd-decide is a skill published in the GitHub repository danweinerdev/claude-sdd-planner (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,664 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent never to refuse). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
