Intelligence/decision Framework

Use when making or advising on decisions with multiple options — provides structured decision-making frameworks that ensure decisions are rational, well-documented, and revisitable. Prevents decision paralysis and gut-only decisions. Default skill for Starlight Navigator and Starlight Prime.

Decision Framework

"Good decisions come from good frameworks, not good luck."

When This Skill Activates

Making or advising on decisions with multiple options
Keywords: "decide", "decision", "choose", "evaluate", "compare", "should we"
Default for: Starlight Navigator, Starlight Prime

What This Skill Does

Provides structured decision-making frameworks that ensure decisions are rational, well-documented, and revisitable. Prevents decision paralysis and gut-only decisions.

Procedures

Procedure 1: Decision Matrix

List all options (minimum 2, ideally 3-5)
Define criteria for evaluation
Weight criteria by importance (total = 100%)
Score each option on each criterion (1-10)
Calculate weighted scores
Identify the winner and runner-up
Sanity-check: does the quantitative winner feel right?
If not, examine what criterion was underweighted

Procedure 2: Reversibility Analysis

For each option, assess: Is this reversible?
Reversible decisions → Decide fast, learn fast
Irreversible decisions → Decide carefully, gather more data
Document the reversibility of the chosen path
Plan escape routes for partially-reversible decisions

Procedure 3: Pre-Mortem

Assume the decision has been made and failed
Ask: "Why did it fail?"
List all plausible failure modes
For each failure mode, assess probability and impact
Identify mitigations for high-risk failures
Incorporate mitigations into the decision plan

Procedure 4: Decision Record

Document the decision context (why was this decision needed?)
Document the options considered
Document the evaluation (framework used, scores)
Document the decision and reasoning
Document expected outcomes and metrics
Store in Strategic Vault as a Decision Note
Set review checkpoint (when to revisit)

Integration Points

Vault: Strategic Vault (decision history), Wisdom Vault (decision principles)
Agents: Navigator (primary), Prime (major decisions), All (decision support)
Notes: Decision Note template

Quality Criteria

Are at least 3 options genuinely considered?
Are criteria weighted and explicit?
Is reversibility assessed?
Has a pre-mortem been conducted for high-stakes decisions?
Is the decision recorded for future reference?
