think-one-way-vs-two-way-door

think-one-way-vs-two-way-door is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (1,355 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision check that labels a choice as either reversible or difficult and costly to undo. It then recommends how much discussion and approval the choice deserves, without choosing the option itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide whether a launch, migration, approval, or other choice needs a quick call or detailed analysis and senior sign-off.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from spending heavy review on easy-to-reverse choices or treating irreversible choices casually. The classification makes the required level of care explicit before comparing options.

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

think-one-way-vs-two-way-door 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.

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.

One-Way vs Two-Way Door

This is a meta-decision tool: a triage that runs before any option comparison and asks one question - how reversible is this decision? - then matches the deliberation and sign-off to the answer. A two-way door is reversible (walk back cheaply), so decide it fast, low, and light. A one-way door is hard or expensive to reverse, so give it real rigor and senior sign-off. The load-bearing move is separating the reversibility judgment from the decision itself, which routes scarce deliberation toward the irreversible few and licenses speed on the reversible many. The output is a reversibility classification plus a matched deliberation level - it says how much machinery the choice deserves, never which option to pick.

When to Use

  • A decision is on the table and it is unclear how much process it deserves.
  • Someone is about to rubber-stamp something irreversible, or convene a committee over something trivially reversible.
  • A team or org is chronically slow, applying the same heavyweight approval to everything regardless of stakes.
  • You want an explicit, defensible reason - decided before deliberation starts - to either move fast or slow down.

When NOT to Use

  • When the decision is already known to be high-stakes and is being analyzed. Triage already happened; you are past this tool. Use a risk tool (premortem) or an option comparison, not a classifier that confirms what you know.
  • When you need to actually compare options against criteria. That is think-decision-option-review (a criteria-weighted option matrix). This skill triages before any comparison how much analysis the decision warrants; it never scores or recommends an option.
  • As a license for speed alone. If the irreversible-but-inconvenient consequences (trust, legal, path-dependence) get waved away, the classification is motivated, not honest.
  • As theater to bless a fast decision by labeling a one-way door a two-way door. The verdict has to be defensible.
  • For a routine, obviously reversible call with no meaningful reversibility question. Just decide; classifying it is its own small over-process.

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.
