$rite-pov: project-grounded external verdict
Decide whether this project should adopt, trial, hold, reject, or ignore one
named outside candidate.
Workflow
- Frame the candidate, decision intent, and reversibility tier (two-way = locally
reversible; bounded-one-way = reversible via a recorded rollback; high-stakes =
irreversible or costly). Route an
open-ended market search to
$rite-pressure-test or $rite-spec.
- Inspect the live repository for at least one concrete project fact: an
incumbent dependency/call site, integration seam, relevant ADR/decision, or
confirmed absence. No profile cache.
- Verify the external claim from current primary documentation, source,
advisory, or release notes.
- Compare fit, existing alternatives, migration cost, reversibility, project
principles, security, licensing, and deprecation risk.
- Return exactly one verdict:
Adopt, Trial, Hold, Reject, or
Not-our-problem.
- Persist only when asked: use the active feature's
decisions.md for a
feature-scoped choice or propose an ADR for a durable architecture decision.
Do not write a parallel rejection or learning index.
Output
Verdict: <grade> — <one sentence>
Tier: <two-way | bounded-one-way | high-stakes>
Project evidence: <file:line or local doc>
External evidence: <primary source>
Why: <three bullets max>
Next: <one action | done>
Record: <path | not written>
No project evidence or no primary external source means Hold, not a generic
technology opinion.
Non-trigger
Not a market survey or premise stress-test ($rite-pressure-test / $rite-spec),
not implementation, not a patch plan. A CVE still needs a live advisory URL
before any Adopt/Trial.
Failure and recovery
- Missing project evidence or missing live primary source →
Hold. Failing
case: "Adopt Redis" with no incumbent call site and no opened docs URL.
- High-stakes / irreversible without a named rollback → cannot be
Adopt.
- Persist only when asked; a chat-only verdict is not a decision record.
