Internal GitHub Strategic
Produce a decision for GitHub platform and operating-model choices. This is a
terminal decision deliverable: make the choice legible, recommend a direction,
and state the validation needs that remain before implementation.
When to use
Use for a GitHub platform or operating-model decision that has multiple viable
options, material tradeoffs, or a need for more than one decision lens.
Decision workflow
- State the decision and the outcome it must support.
- Make assumptions explicit, including current organization model, trust
posture, continuity needs, licensing limits, and scope.
- Activate the minimum useful lenses. Name every active lens when more than
one is needed.
- Compare realistic options against the decision criteria. Do not use
strawman alternatives.
- Recommend one direction and explain why it wins.
- State tradeoffs, blast radius, reversibility, cost-value impact, and facts
requiring proof.
Decision lenses
Use only the lenses that can change the recommendation:
- security and identity and access
- organization and repo model
- governance and compliance
- operations and runner model
- rollout and rollback and blast radius
- Copilot, FinOps, BC/DR, or maintainability
Activate BC/DR when the choice affects delivery continuity, runner resilience,
backup, recovery, or failover. Activate current documentation only when a
fresh platform fact can change the outcome.
Load references/strategic-framing.md when worked lens combinations or a
decision-note shape will improve the analysis.
Adaptive output modes
Quick answer
Use for a narrow decision with one clearly stronger option. Include the
recommendation, short rationale, and one material risk or validation need.
Decision note
Use when two or more realistic options remain. Include the decision statement,
assumptions, options, recommendation, tradeoffs, and validation needs.
Deep analysis
Use for broad, ambiguous, high-risk, or explicitly detailed decisions. Include
context, active lenses, options, recommendation, blast radius, reversibility,
and evidence needed before implementation.
Completion criteria
- The decision statement is explicit and narrow enough to act on.
- Assumptions and active lenses are visible.
- Viable options are compared against concrete criteria.
- One recommendation is stated with material tradeoffs.
- Blast radius and reversibility are addressed when relevant.
- Validation needs and freshness-sensitive facts are identified.
