Decision Memo Builder
Goal
Compress complex work into a short decision-ready memo.
This skill does not redo the analysis. It distills what was decided, why, what remains risky, and what should happen next.
When To Use
- after multi-skill reasoning
- before handoff to another person or phase
- when the thread is too long but the decision must stay understandable
Scope Boundaries
In scope:
- summarize the decision
- preserve rationale, risks, and next actions
- compress without losing the key trade-offs
Out of scope by default:
- full documentation packs
- detailed evidence appendices
Workflow
- State the decision context.
- Extract the final decision or current best position.
- Summarize the core rationale.
- Note open risks and unknowns.
- State the next action.

Guardrails
- Do not hide uncertainty just to sound decisive.
- Do not turn the memo into another long report.
- Keep the memo useful for handoff.
