decision-action
Use when the user needs to choose, prioritize, or make a go/no-go decision among options.
Best use case
decision-action is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt. It is especially useful for teams working in multi. Use when the user needs to choose, prioritize, or make a go/no-go decision among options.
Use when the user needs to choose, prioritize, or make a go/no-go decision among options.
Users should expect a more consistent workflow output, faster repeated execution, and less time spent rewriting prompts from scratch.

# Decision Action Skill ## Purpose Select an option and justify the choice using explicit tradeoffs. ## When to use - “Which should we pick?” - Prioritization - Go / no-go decisions Do NOT use for: - execution plans (use planning-action) - advice without a firm choice (use prescriptive-actions) ## Operating rules 1. Clearly define the decision. 2. Enumerate options (include “do nothing” if relevant). 3. Compare options using explicit criteria. 4. Make a clear recommendation. 5. State risks and revisit triggers. ## Outputs ### Decision statement ### Options comparison ### Recommendation ### Rationale & tradeoffs ### Risks ### Revisit triggers
