repo-decide

repo-decide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rjwalters/kicad-tools. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision-drafting tool that turns choices blocking the work into numbered options, ranked from best to worst, with reasons for each ranking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when work depends on a cost, permission, policy, or other operator decision. It drafts the questions but does not make the decision.
Why use it?
Open-ended questions and buried trade-offs make it harder for an operator to answer quickly. Clear numbered choices let them decide without redoing the analysis.

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

repo-decide 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 2d 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.

Codex form of the /repo:decide command. Other commands appear as $repo-<verb> skills. Helper scripts and .claude/ paths below are relative to the repository root and exist when the Claude Code surface is installed alongside this one.

$repo-decide — Ranked Operator Decisions

When work is blocked on a decision that belongs to the operator (cost, an access grant, a policy change, something irreversible, a call about another person's system), don't ask an open question and don't bury the choice in a paragraph. Lay out the options best to worst, mark the one you recommend, and give the reason each option ranks where it does. Then the operator can answer "Q1: 1, Q2: 3" instead of re-deriving the tradeoffs you already worked out.

This command only drafts the questions. It does not decide anything. Presenting the draft in the session needs no confirmation. Posting it anywhere else (a chat room, an issue, a PR) is outward-facing and follows the same confirm-first rule as [[followups]], unless the user's own invocation already said where to post.

Usage

$repo-decide                     # Draft ranked questions for the decisions this session is blocked on
$repo-decide "<topic>"           # Draft for one named decision
$repo-decide --post              # Draft, confirm, then post where this project routes operator questions

Steps

1. Collect only real operator decisions

Go through the session (and the issue or PR at hand) for choices that are genuinely the operator's. Leave out anything you can settle from the code, the docs, or a sensible default. Settle those yourself and say so in one line. A decision belongs to the operator when it involves:

  • money or a standing cost;
  • granting, widening, or minting a credential or access;
  • changing a written policy or making an exception to it;
  • an irreversible or outward-facing action (publishing, deleting, migrating);
  • a system, account, or budget someone else owns.

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.
