/cs:decide — Log the Decision
Command: /cs:decide <memo-path>
Logs the founder's decision via the decision-logger skill. This is the gate where in-session deliberation becomes durable company memory.

Two-Layer Memory Model
The decision-logger skill maintains two layers:
- Raw transcripts — every boardroom session, every advisor's Phase 2 position, every dissent. Stored under
~/.claude/decisions/raw/. Reference only, never feeds back automatically. - Approved decisions — only the founder-signed memos. Stored under
~/.claude/decisions/approved/. Feeds into future/cs:office-hoursand/cs:founder-modecalls.
This split prevents the system from "remembering" unresolved debates as if they were decisions.
Input
A board memo file (output of /cs:boardroom).
Workflow
- Read the memo path
- Verify it has founder approval (status: APPROVED)
- Extract structured decision record:
- Decision title
- Date decided
- Option chosen
- Success + kill criteria
- Dissent (preserved)
- Review checkpoint date
- Append to
~/.claude/decisions/approved/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md - Update the raw transcript pointer
- If llm-wiki bridge configured, write to vault (
~/company-vault/10-decisions/) - Schedule auto-revisit (90 days)
Output Record Format
# Decision: <title>
**Decided:** YYYY-MM-DD
**By:** <founder name>
**Memo:** <link to boardroom memo>
**Brief:** <link to original brief>
**Review checkpoint:** YYYY-MM-DD (90d default)
## Decision
**Chose:** <option>
**Rejected:** <other options + one-line why>
## Success Criteria (binding)
- <metric, threshold, timeframe>
## Kill Criteria (binding)
- <metric, threshold, action>
## Preserved Dissent
- **<dissenter>:** <unresolved concern>
- (preserved verbatim; dissent never erased)
## Next Action
- `/cs:execute` → 90-day plan due <date>
## Status History
- YYYY-MM-DD: APPROVED
Why Preserved Dissent
The biggest risk in approved decisions is forgetting why someone disagreed. When the kill criteria trigger, the dissent often turns out to have been correct. Preserving it verbatim — not summarized — keeps the company honest at post-mortem time.
Routing
/cs:execute <decision>— build the 90-day plan/cs:freeze <decision> <days>— lock if irreversible- (Auto-scheduled)
/cs:post-mortem <decision>— at 90-day checkpoint
Stale-Decision Audit
cs-chief-of-staff runs a weekly stale audit:
- Decisions > 90 days without revisit → flag for
/cs:post-mortem - Decisions with kill criteria triggered → flag immediately
- Decisions whose company-context.md basis has changed → flag for re-examination

SkillHTML Explainer Builder
QingYunA/answer-me-with-html · by QingYunATurns an answer into a one-page visual HTML explainer: the model writes a short Markdown draft and the bundled CLI builds one page. Use it proactively and liberally, without being asked, whenever a page would help the reader more than plain text, even if plain text would also work: any explanation of how something works or how parts relate (flow, request path, architecture, code or folder structure, state machine, lifecycle, history); any comparison, trade-off or decision with pros and cons; any diagnosis, review or investigation, especially with several causes or findings to rank; any answer with a table, a numbered or ranked list, steps, branches or several sections; or when the user says "I don't get it / draw it / explain visually / 讲讲原理 / 没看懂 / 画个图". When in doubt, use it: a page is quick and cheap to make. Also for explainer videos ("make a video", "做个视频") and for changing its settings. Skip only for small talk, a trivial one-line answer, or when the user asks for plain text.★ 3.7k GitHub stars
