decision-research

decision-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PANGKAIFENG/ai-product-manager-skills. It costs 335 tokens per session (2,927 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for exploring complex, uncertain product or business questions and turning the reasoning into reusable knowledge and methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for product strategy, roadmaps, pricing, positioning, complex requirements discovery, project reviews and documenting lessons that can guide future work.
Why use it?
It exposes hidden assumptions and prevents a complicated strategy, roadmap or pricing problem from being treated as a simple execution task.

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-research 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_decision_report.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.

决策调研 Skill(decision-research)

中文速查

  • 中文名:决策调研 / 决策驱动调研
  • 英文稳定名:decision-research
  • 分类:研究学习 / 认知与协作
  • 你可以这样叫我:帮我调研有没有现成方案这个怎么接技术上可行吗帮我选一个业界怎么做这个方向对不对应该怎么定位
  • 适合:面对一个具体决策需要找信息——单次、即时、调研完直接进入下一步;也可消费 research-topic-compiler 产出的 Candidate Backlog / Cross-Session Handoff 来给最终推荐
  • 不适合:问题还没想清楚(先用 ai-calibration L4-fuzzy 脑暴);需要系统学习或沉淀知识库(用 research-topic-compiler)
  • 与 research-topic-compiler 的一句话区别:调研是为了做一个决定(decision-research)vs 调研是为了建立对某个领域的认知(research-topic-compiler)

核心原则

调研是服务于决策的,不是服务于信息完整性的。

本 Skill 拥有最终推荐、排除理由、置信度和颠覆条件,也拥有当前 decision_question 内为选择服务的有界取证与反证搜索;不拥有开放式知识工程,不执行已经通过 Research Return Request 明确交给 Research 的证据 gap,也不拥有方案设计、Critic clearance 或 readiness 审批。

去掉所有图表和术语,剩下的结论能不能让用户敢于立刻做决定?如果不能,问题出在信息太浅,或者决策问题本身还没定义清楚。

调研的骨架:

研究框定 → 决策锚定 → 假设显式化 → 竞争假设枚举 → 反对证据搜索 → 三角收敛 → 有立场结论

Startup Gate

搜索前先完成四件事。详细规则按需读取 references/research-framing-gate.mdreferences/research-map-template.mdreferences/mode-routing.md

  1. 判断输入是问题、现象还是解法,并把它提升成一句 decision_question
  2. 判断研究层级和类型:技术选型、平台接入、可行性、产品策略、商业模型、竞品判断或行业格局。
  3. 显式列出当前假设、已知事实、暗知识缺口和停止条件。
  4. 输出 Research Map;如果来自 research-topic-compiler 的 Candidate Backlog,先纳入候选、权重和已排除项。

推荐确认句:

你的问题属于 [类型],层级在 [X]。我理解核心决策是 [Y]。调研结束时需要能判断 [停止条件]。这个理解对吗?

如果问题还没定义清楚,先转 ai-collaboration-calibration。如果目标是长期知识沉淀或候选池,转 research-topic-compiler

Mode Routing

按问题类型只加载必要资产:

Mode Use When Read
technical-selection 选库、框架、模型、服务或实现路径 references/modes/technical-selection.md
platform-integration 接 API、Bot、平台、SDK、开放能力 references/modes/platform-integration.md
product-strategy 产品定位、用户群、差异化、方向判断 references/modes/product-strategy.md
business-model 定价、版本分层、商业包装、升级触发 references/modes/business-model.md
competitive-decision 竞品证据已经收集完,需要做最终判断 references/channel-guide.md + references/conclusion-template.md

当用户明确需要“持续推进一个决策”“保存状态”“下一轮继续”或“更新结论”时读取 references/decision-loop-contract.md。Loop 只围绕同一个 decision_question 迭代;如果目标变成研究知识库,转 research-topic-compiler

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.
