How does the weighted scoring work in the decision matrix?

You define specific criteria (like security, cost, or scalability) and assign each a weight percentage. The skill then scores each option against those criteria to provide a mathematically backed recommendation.

Does it support Tree-of-Thought reasoning?

Yes, the skill can be activated using 'ToT' or 'tree of thought' triggers to perform more complex, multi-path reasoning for difficult architectural problems.

Where are the decision files stored?

Decision matrices and ADRs are typically stored within your project repository in the .aiwg/decisions/ and .aiwg/architecture/ directories for easy version control.

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a short text file that captures an important architectural decision made along with its context, rationale, and consequences for the project.

Can I use this for team process decisions?

Yes, the skill includes specialized templates for process decisions such as branching strategies, release cadences, and communication tools.

Herramientas de Colaboración

Facilitates data-driven technical decision-making through weighted matrices, trade-off analysis, and automated Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).

The decision-support skill transforms Claude into a strategic technical consultant, helping engineering teams navigate complex architectural and technical choices. It automates the creation of weighted decision matrices to compare alternatives like databases or frameworks, performs deep trade-off analysis across dimensions like scalability and cost, and generates standardized Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to ensure long-term project traceability and stakeholder alignment. By embedding cognitive architectures like Tree-of-Thought reasoning, it ensures that every technical pivot is backed by rigorous logic and documented for future maintainers.
