askit-decision

askit-decision is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit. It costs 64 tokens per session (656 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for recording architecture decisions and proposals in a software project. It creates structured ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), RFCs (Requests for Comments), and short summaries under the project’s internal documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when documenting an architecture decision, proposing a cross-project change, or creating the required summary for a longer decision document.
Why use it?
It keeps important technical choices, alternatives, reasons, consequences, and implementation locations documented instead of leaving them scattered across conversations or code.

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

askit-decision 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 10d 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.

askit-decision

Purpose

Author and maintain a plugin's governed decisions: numbered MADR ADRs under docs/internal/decisions/ and RFCs under docs/internal/rfcs/. Three modes: adr records an architecture decision; rfc drafts a cross-cutting proposal (for example, to evolve the Standard); summary emits and lints the mandatory 3-line TL;DR (Decision / Why / Status) on a long ADR or RFC (the summary-plus-detailed convention, ADR 0021). Authoring depth is in references/authoring-decisions.md.

When to use

When the user makes or records an architecture decision, proposes a change to the Standard or the plugin via an RFC, or needs the TL;DR companion for a decision doc.

adr mode

  1. Pick the next ADR number (docs/internal/decisions/NNNN-title.md).
  2. Author MADR: Status, Date, Deciders, Context, Decision drivers, Considered options, Decision outcome, Consequences. Copy templates/adr.md.
  3. Add the mandatory ## TL;DR (Decision / Why / Status) immediately under the title (ADR 0021 convention).
  4. Fill the ## Implementation sites section: run grep -rn "<key behavioral terms>" scripts/ to find every file and function that carries the decision. List each as a bullet: file path, function name, one sentence on what property of the decision it enforces. A vague entry ("the report renderer") is obviously wrong; a useful entry names the file and function so a future reader can verify without searching. ADRs that are governance-only with no code implementation say so explicitly.
  5. ADRs are immutable once accepted; supersede rather than rewrite.

rfc mode

  1. Author an RFC under docs/internal/rfcs/ for a cross-cutting proposal (a Standard amendment, a new convention).
  2. Include the problem, the proposal, the alternatives, and the migration/impact. On acceptance, graduate the outcome to an ADR.

summary mode

  1. Read a long ADR or RFC and emit (or lint) the 3-line ## TL;DR (Decision / Why / Status), so the summary and the detailed body never diverge.

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.
