/stream
Interactive wizard that walks any decision through the STREAM 6-layer framework. Designed for founders making high-stakes choices under uncertainty.
Steps
-
Parse the decision from $ARGUMENTS. If empty, ask: "What decision or dilemma do you want to analyze?"
-
Load framework context (optional enhancement):
- If MCP
kb_search available: kb_search(query="STREAM framework", n_results=3) for full framework details.
- Otherwise, the framework is embedded below.
-
Walk through 6 layers interactively. For each layer, explain the concept, ask a clarifying question via AskUserQuestion, then provide assessment.
Layer 1 — Epistemological (Knowledge)
- Is this within your circle of competence?
- What assumptions are unproven?
- What would change your mind?
- Ask: "What do you know for certain about this space? What are you assuming?"
Layer 2 — Temporal (Time)
- What's the time horizon for results?
- Is this Lindy-compliant (will it matter in 10 years)?
- Reversibility: can you undo this in 6 months?
- Ask: "What's your timeline? Is this a 3-month experiment or a 3-year commitment?"
Layer 3 — Action (Minimum Viable)
- What's the smallest possible first step?
- What are second-order effects?
- Can you test this in a weekend?
- Ask: "What's the minimum viable version you could ship in 1-2 weeks?"
Layer 4 — Stakes (Risk/Reward)
- Asymmetric upside? (small downside, large upside)
- Survivable worst case?
- Opportunity cost of NOT doing this?
- Ask: "What's the worst realistic outcome? Can you survive it financially and emotionally?"
Layer 5 — Social (Network)
- Reputation impact on your network?
- Network effects or viral potential?
- Does this build social capital?
- Ask: "Who benefits besides you? Who might be hurt?"
Layer 6 — Meta (Mortality Filter)
- Is this worth your finite time on earth?
- Does this align with your values?
- Will you regret NOT trying this?
- Ask: "If you had only 5 years left, would you still do this?"
-
Synthesize verdict:
- Score each layer 1-10
- Overall STREAM score (weighted average)
- GO (score > 7) / PAUSE (5-7) / NO-GO (< 5)
- Key risk to mitigate
- Recommended first action
-
Capture the decision (optional): Offer to save the decision record. If user wants to save:
- Write to
docs/decisions/ in the current project directory
- Format: date + decision summary + verdict
-
Output structured decision journal:
## Decision: [topic]
**Date:** [today]
**Framework:** STREAM 6-layer

Common Issues
Questions feel too abstract
Cause: Decision not specific enough.
Fix: Start with a concrete decision statement: "Should I [action] given [context]?" not just "What should I do?"
Score seems wrong
Cause: Layers weighted equally but some matter more for this decision.
Fix: The overall score is a starting point. Pay more attention to the layers most relevant to your situation (e.g., Stakes for financial decisions, Meta for life choices).
Want to save the decision record
Cause: Running in a project without a docs/decisions/ directory.
Fix: Skill saves to docs/decisions/ in the current project. Create the directory if needed.
