# Decision Maker ## Overview This skill applies proven decision-making frameworks—pros/cons analysis, weighted scoring matrices, RICE prioritization, the Eisenhower urgency-importance matrix, and pre-mortem analysis—to help you cut through ambiguity and make defensible, well-reasoned choices. By externalizing the decision into a structured format you reduce cognitive bias, surface hidden trade-offs, and create a record of your reasoning that can be revisited or shared with stakeholders. ## When to Use - You have two or more meaningful options and are unsure which to choose - The decision has significant, lasting consequences (career, finances, product roadmap, hiring) - Multiple stakeholders need to align around a shared rationale - You feel emotionally stuck and want an objective framework to cut through the noise - You need to prioritize a backlog of features, tasks, or projects - You want to stress-test a decision you've already leaned toward ## When NOT to Use - The decision is low-stakes and reversible (where any choice is fine) - You need licensed advice (legal, medical, financial) — frameworks support, not replace, professionals - The situation requires immediate crisis action with no time for structured analysis - Data needed to score criteria is completely unavailable or unknowable - You simply want validation for a decision already firmly made ## Quick Reference | Framework | Best For | Output | |-----------|----------|--------| | Pros / Cons | Simple binary cho
