description	End-to-end decision support orchestrator. Compares options, runs risk analysis on the recommended path, runs a bias check on the user's stated reasoning, and produces a single decision brief. Use when the user says "help me decide", "I need to make a call on this", "walk me through this decision", "I'm stuck between these", or shares a real decision they're about to commit to. Calls `comparative_analysis`, `analyze_risk`, and `identify_cognitive_biases` in sequence.

Decide

What This Skill Does

Runs the full Decision Duck pipeline for a real decision: compare options → risk-check the recommended path → bias-check the user's reasoning → assemble a one-page decision brief. Use this when the user is about to commit, not when they're brainstorming.

When to Activate

• "Help me decide between …"
• "I need to make a call on …"
• "Walk me through this decision"
• "I'm leaning toward X — what should I check before committing"
• User shares 2+ options AND mentions an upcoming deadline or decision point

When NOT to Activate

• Just one tool's worth of value is needed → use the focused skill
• User wants to imagine the project failing → use pre-mortem
• User wants an adversarial critique → use red-team

Workflow

1. Gather the four inputs. Decision, options, criteria, current lean and why.

2. Step 1 — Compare.

   comparative_analysis(
     context: "<decision in one paragraph>",
     options: [...],
     criteria: [...]
   )
   

3. Step 2 — Risk the recommended path.

   analyze_risk(
     scenario: "Committing to <recommended option> for <decision>",
     context: "<one-paragraph decision background>"
   )
   

4. Step 3 — Bias-check the user's reasoning.

   identify_cognitive_biases(
     analysis: "<the user's current lean and why, in their own words>"
   )
   

5. Step 4 — Assemble the decision brief. One page. Lead with the recommendation; the user should be able to skim the top half and decide.

6. Close with one decision-quality check. Pin the question that sharpens the call.
