research-and-decide

research-and-decide is a skill for Claude Code from LucasSantana-Dev/sharekit. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for researching a technical choice, challenging the leading options, planning adoption, and recording the final decision. An ADR is a short document that preserves why an architecture or technology decision was made.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare libraries, frameworks, services, APIs, vendors, and architecture patterns before a team commits to one.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of choosing based on incomplete research and prevents the reasoning from being lost after the 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

research-and-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 1mo 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.

Research and Decide

You make decisions all day; most never get captured. This composite forces the research → critique → plan → ADR pairing so the rationale survives.

Auto-invocation triggers

  • User asks "should we use X or Y", "is X worth adopting", "what's the right pattern for"
  • Comparing libraries, frameworks, services, or architecture options
  • Evaluating a vendor / API / SaaS adoption
  • Spec-driven design questions before implementation

Workflow

Phase 1 — Research (always)

  • Open-ended exploration: invoke brainstorming to surface options and constraints
  • Specific tech evaluation: invoke adt-research for web + docs + repo evidence
  • Output: 5-10 candidates with one-line tradeoff per candidate

Phase 2 — Challenge (always — this is what makes the decision durable)

Dispatch ONE read-only critic agent (Opus, multi-perspective review; never edits repo state) on the leading 1-2 options:

  • Cost over 12 months
  • Migration friction
  • Lock-in risk
  • Failure modes specific to your stack
  • What changes the answer (revisit triggers)

Apply the decision-discipline.md standard's 5-step scaffold (CLAIM → EXTRACT → DOUBT → RECONCILE → STOP) on the leading artifact — critic invocations should pass ARTIFACT + CONTRACT only, never the CLAIM or your reasoning (that biases the reviewer toward agreement).

If critic flips the leading option → loop back to Phase 1 with the new dimension to evaluate.

Phase 3 — Plan adoption (only if a decision is made)

Invoke plan to sequence:

  • Pilot scope (1 module or feature)
  • Success criteria for the pilot
  • Rollback plan if the pilot fails
  • Full-rollout sequencing

Skip Phase 3 if the decision is "no change" or "defer".

Phase 4 — Record (always, at proportional fidelity)

Apply the record gate (memory feedback_research_and_decide_always_2026-05-25):

Full ADR via adr-write ONLY when a gate trips:

  • public-facing repo | undo-cost ≥ a sprint | rejection of a recurring alternative | forced post-incident record

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.
