# Ooda Decision Loop

> Run an OODA decision loop: observe, orient, decide, act. Use when Codex is asked to make fast decisions under uncertainty, update plans from new information, respond to competitors, incidents, operations changes, or tactical execution problems.

# OODA Decision Loop

## Workflow

1. Observe: gather signals, anomalies, constraints, and recent changes.
2. Orient: interpret the situation, assumptions, mental models, incentives, and context.
3. Decide: choose the next action and what evidence would change it.
4. Act: execute a small action.
5. Loop: observe the effect and update orientation.

## 马斯克 Supervision

Delete slow approval steps that do not improve orientation. Accelerate feedback, not blind action.

## Output

- observation list
- orientation summary
- decision
- action
- feedback signal
- next loop trigger
