What it does

The Research-to-Decision Pro skill transforms information overload into actionable clarity. It moves beyond standard "research dumps" by applying rigorous decision-making frameworks to compare options, evaluate tradeoffs, and provide a single, evidence-backed recommendation.

Why use this skill

Prompting an AI for a recommendation often results in vague summaries or "hallucinated" confidence. This skill enforces a structured logic chain that separates verified evidence from inferred assumptions. It is specifically designed for developers, founders, and product leaders who need to justify high-stakes choices with a formal decision memo.

Specialized Personas

The skill operates in four distinct modes to ensure the logic aligns with your specific goals:

• Technical: Focuses on architecture, migration costs, and vendor lock-in.
• Founder: Prioritizes ROI, execution speed, and downside risk.
• PM: Focuses on user impact, delivery risk, and dependencies.
• General: Balanced support for operational or business questions.

What the output looks like

Every response follows a standardized format including a clear decision question, a weighted criteria matrix, a comparison of tradeoffs, identified unknowns, and immediate next steps. You receive a professional decision memo ready for stakeholders or internal documentation.
