bionic-decision-engine

bionic-decision-engine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from winstonkoh87/Athena-Public. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision-making framework that compares choices involving money, time, energy, or relationships using numerical checks and risk limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Evaluating jobs, deals, purchases, prices, relationship choices, and other situations where someone must choose between alternatives.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to examine trade-offs, sunk costs, and the chance of serious harm instead of relying only on feelings.

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

bionic-decision-engine 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 8d 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.

Bionic Decision Engine — The Universal Arbitrator

Compiled: 2026-05-11 (retroactive synthesis of 70+ protocols) Problem Class: Any "Should I?" question across all life domains — career, trades, purchases, relationships, time allocation. Axiom: "If you can't put a number on it, you can't decide on it. And if you decide on feelings, the wound decides for you (MP-8)."

When to Use

Invoke whenever the user faces a resource allocation decision. This includes:

  • "Should I take this job/trade/client/deal?"
  • "Is this worth the money/time/energy?"
  • "Which option is better?"
  • "Should I stay or leave?"
  • Pricing questions (what to charge, what to pay)
  • Any comparison of two or more alternatives

Solution Architecture

Gate 0: The Sunk Cost Purge (MP-14)

Before ANY analysis:

"Would I enter this position TODAY if I weren't already in it?"

If NO → the decision is already made. Skip to Exit Protocol. If YES → proceed to Gate 1.

Gate 1: Ruin Class Check (Law #1)

Does any option carry >5% probability of irreversible ruin across 5 domains?

Domain Ruin Threshold
Biological Death, permanent disability
Legal Incarceration, criminal record
Financial Bankruptcy, total capital loss
Social De-platforming, exile
Psychological Burnout Stage 4, loss of agency

VETO if P(Ruin) > 5%. No calculation needed. No exceptions.

Gate 2: The EEV Calculator (DEC-330 / DEC-526)

For each option, calculate Expected Economic Value:

EEV = P(success) × V(upside) − P(failure) × V(downside) − Friction Costs

Where:
  P(success) = base rate for demographic × personal edge multiplier
  V(upside)  = monetary + optionality + compounding value
  V(downside) = monetary loss + opportunity cost + psychological toll
  Friction   = time, energy, commute, complexity tax

Anti-Rationalization Rule (DEC-526): E(U) anchors MUST be activities you have actually paid for in the last 90 days. No hypotheticals.

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.
