decision-map

decision-map is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from panda850819/verbs. It costs 56 tokens per session (486 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A written map for work that depends on several unresolved decisions or pieces of evidence across coding sessions. Each entry records whether it needs research, a prototype, discussion, or implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create a dated decision map, record dependencies and completion evidence, and work through one user-selected unblocked entry. It stops after creating the map instead of choosing the next task automatically.
Why use it?
It keeps complex uncertainty from being lost when one session cannot hold all the necessary context. It also shows which decisions are blocked and what evidence would resolve them.

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-map 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Decision Map

A Decision Map preserves multi-session decision fog. Ordinary ambiguity stays inside the automatic Grilling Session required by the repository Project Contract.

Create a map

  1. Read AGENTS.md, apply the Brain First Rule, and name one destination.
  2. Use @lib/interview.md to identify decisions whose answers depend on other decisions or evidence that cannot fit the current session.
  3. If the Work Contract can be completed now, create no map; finish the current Grilling Session instead.
  4. Otherwise create docs/briefs/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}-map.md with the destination, confirmed context, and typed entries: research, prototype, grilling, or task. Each entry names dependencies, status, and its completion evidence.
  5. Stop after creation. Do not select or execute an entry in the same invocation.

Work a map

  1. Read the map index and only the notes required by one unblocked entry.
  2. Use the user-named entry, or ask the user to select one. Never schedule the frontier autonomously.
  3. Resolve that entry by type. Research writes cited facts; prototype invokes prototype; grilling follows the Project Contract's Grilling Session; task records a confirmed Work Contract without implementing it.
  4. Write the result under docs/briefs/{map-slug}/{NN}-{entry-slug}.md, update the map status and newly unblocked entries, then stop.

Completion

A run completes when one map is created or one selected entry has checkable evidence and the map reflects its new frontier. Implementation remains a new, human-selected coding task governed by AGENTS.md.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

decision-map is a skill published in the GitHub repository panda850819/verbs (5 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 486 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
