vanillagreencom Decider
Numbered decision documents indexed in one INDEX.md (default docs/decisions/), with a search CLI, canonical format, and creation/supersession workflows.
.agents/skills/decider/scripts/decisions <command> [options]
Actions (search, search --issue, list, next-id, get), search coverage and scoring, output shapes, and the DECISIONS_DIR / DECISION_ID_* environment: decisions --help. There is no bare issue action; use search --issue.
Read the full decision file before acting on a hit. A suggestion contradicting an active decision is invalid unless the decision itself is flawed.
Workflows
| Workflow | Trigger |
|---|---|
workflows/create-decision.md |
A significant path choice is settled |
workflows/update-decision.md |
A new decision supersedes, partially supersedes, or revisits an existing one |
Format: schemas/decision-format.md (constraints), templates/decision-entry.md (document skeleton), templates/index-row.md (INDEX row).
Approval
Never create a decision document without explicit user approval. When work settles a choice worth recording, say on completion: "this introduced a decision worth recording: [summary]. Want me to create a decision entry?"
Record: technology selections with alternatives, performance trade-offs, path choices whose conditions may change. Do not record: variable names, small refactors, bug fixes, choices with no realistic alternative, standard pattern applications.
