decision-log

decision-log is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moonlight-lupin/agent-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A searchable journal of team and agent decisions, using one numbered Markdown record for each choice, its reasoning, alternatives, consequences, and review date.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record product, technical, operational, research, or team decisions. It helps create numbered records, link decisions that replace earlier ones, schedule reviews, and search past choices.
Why use it?
It keeps important decisions from getting buried in chats or meeting notes. It also preserves why a choice was made, so settled questions are not repeatedly debated and old decisions can be reviewed or replaced.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./decisions/ADR-001-use-sqlite-for-source-tracker.md.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

decision-log 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 20d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/decision_log.py, scripts/review_checker.py, tests/test_decision_log.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Decision Log

Overview

Use this skill to keep durable, searchable decision records when a team or agent needs to remember what was decided, why it was decided, what alternatives were considered, and when the decision should be reviewed.

It solves recurring problems that chat history and meeting notes do not solve well:

  • Decisions get buried in long conversations and are hard to find later.
  • The reasoning and constraints behind a choice are forgotten.
  • Settled questions get re-litigated because there is no authoritative record.
  • Reversals are made by deleting old context instead of preserving history.
  • No review cadence exists, so time-sensitive decisions quietly go stale.

The pattern is ADR-style: one Markdown file per decision, numbered sequentially, with status, context, options, decision, consequences, and review metadata. The format follows the spirit of Michael Nygard's Architecture Decision Record (ADR) pattern, generalized for product, operations, research, and team decisions.

Decision records live in a configurable directory:

  • --decisions-dir DIR on every command, or
  • DECISIONS_DIR=/path/to/decisions, or
  • default ./decisions/ relative to the current working directory.

Quick start

python scripts/decision_log.py new --title "Use SQLite for source-tracker"

The command creates the next numbered file, such as:

./decisions/ADR-001-use-sqlite-for-source-tracker.md

Open the printed path, complete the sections, then change ## Status from proposed to accepted once the decision is approved.

When to create an ADR

Create a decision record when the choice is meaningful enough that future people will ask "why did we do this?" Examples:

  • Architecture, storage, API, dependency, deployment, or security choices.
  • Product or workflow choices that affect multiple users or future work.
  • Trade-offs with real costs, constraints, or excluded alternatives.
  • Decisions that may need review after a date, milestone, or external trigger.
  • Reversals of previous decisions.

Changes

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.
