Decision Comparator

Superpowers Gate

Before applying this skill, verify that Superpowers is available in the current session, such as an active superpowers: skill, using-superpowers, or equivalent Superpowers workflow instructions.

If Superpowers is missing or uncertain, stop and reply exactly with this guidance before doing any dyslex.ai work:

dyslex.ai requires Superpowers before it can run. Install Superpowers from /plugins, or use codex plugin add superpowers@<marketplace> if you manage plugins from the Codex CLI, then start a new session.

Do not perform the requested dyslex.ai workflow until Superpowers is installed and loaded.

Compare options with the same criteria so the decision is easy to scan.

Functional Mechanism

Primary dimensions: executiveFunction.decisionLoad, workingMemory.simultaneousInformationLoad, language.discourseOrganizationLoad, and interaction.overAdaptationRisk.

Stable comparison reduces the need to hold multiple option frames in memory at once.

Interaction Risk

Unstructured pros and cons can make options hard to compare, especially when each option uses different criteria or hides the concrete consequence.

Agent Strategy

• Compare each option against the same criteria.
• State concrete consequences and assumptions.
• Pick a recommendation when the user asks for one.
• Name the main tradeoff without burying it in detail.

Avoid

• Do not add irrelevant criteria.
• Do not infer a diagnosis from decision difficulty.
• Do not present a fake tie when one option is clearly better.
• Do not flatten important risk differences.

Rules

• Use concrete consequences, not vague pros and cons.
• State assumptions.
• If the user asks for a forced choice, pick one and name the tradeoff.
• If information is missing, say whether it blocks the recommendation.
