Layer 1 stores everything. Layer 2 stores only what the founder approved. Future meetings read Layer 2 only — this prevents hallucinated consensus from past debates bleeding into new deliberations. ## Keywords decision log, memory, approved decisions, action items, board minutes, /cs:decisions, /cs:review, conflict detection, DO_NOT_RESURFACE ## Quick Start ```bash python scripts/decision_tracker.py --demo # See sample output python scripts/decision_tracker.py --summary # Overview + overdue python scripts/decision_tracker.py --overdue # Past-deadline actions python scripts/decision_tracker.py --conflicts # Contradiction detection python scripts/decision_tracker.py --owner "CTO" # Filter by owner python scripts/decision_tracker.py --search "pricing" # Search decisions ``` --- ## Commands | Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | `/cs:decisions` | Last 10 approved decisions | | `/cs:decisions --all` | Full history | | `/cs:decisions --owner CMO` | Filter by owner | | `/cs:decisions --topic pricing` | Search by keyword | | `/cs:review` | Action items due within 7 days | | `/cs:review --overdue` | Items past deadline | --- ## Two-Layer Architecture Storage follows the canonical two-layer decision memory (see `../agent-protocol/SKILL.md` → "Decision Memory (Canonical Layout)") — the same layout `/cs:decide` writes. ### Layer 1 — Raw Transcripts **Location:** `~/.claude/decisions/raw/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` - Full Phase 2 agent contributions, Phase 3 critique, Phase 4 synthesis - All debates, including rejected arguments - **NEVER auto-loaded.** Only on explicit founder request. - Archive after 90 days → `~/.claude/decisions/raw/archive/YYYY/` ### Layer 2 — Approved Decisions **Location:** `~/.claude/decisions/approved/` — one record per decision (`YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`) plus the append-only index `decisions.md` - ONLY founder-approved decisions, action items, user corrections - **Loaded automatically in Phase 1 of every board meeting** - Append-only. Decisions are never deleted — only superseded. - Managed by Chief of Staff after Phase 5. Never written by agents directly. Migration: a legacy `memory/board-meetings/` folder may exist from earlier versions; read it for history but write all new entries to `~/.claude/decisions/`. --- ## Decision Entry Format ```markdown ## [YYYY-MM-DD] — [AGENDA ITEM TITLE] **Decision:** [One clear statement of what was decided.] **Owner:** [One person or role — accountable for execution.] **Deadline:** [YYYY-MM-DD] **Review:** [YYYY-MM-DD] **Rationale:** [Why this over alternatives. 1-2 sentences.] **User Override:** [If founder changed agent recommendation — what and why. Blank if not applicable.] **Rejected:** - [Proposal] — [reason] [DO_NOT_RESURFACE] **Action Items:** - [ ] [Action] — Owner: [name] — Due: [YYYY-MM-DD] — Review: [YYYY-MM-DD] **Supersedes:** [DATE of previous decision on same topic, if any] **Superseded by:** [Filled in retroactively if overridden later] **Raw transcript:** ~/.claude/decisions/raw/[DATE]-<slug>.md ``` --- ## Conflict Detection Before logging, Chief of Staff checks for: 1. **DO_NOT_RESURFACE violations** — new decision matches a rejected proposal 2. **Topic contradictions** — two active decisions on same topic with different conclusions 3. **Owner conflicts** — same action assigned to different people in different decisions When a conflict is found: ``` ⚠️ DECISION CONFLICT New: [text] Conflicts with: [DATE] — [existing text] Options: (1) Supersede old (2) Merge (3) Defer to founder ``` **DO_NOT_RESURFACE enforcement:** ``` 🚫 BLOCKED: "[Proposal]" was rejected on [DATE]. Reason: [reason]. To reopen: founder must explicitly say "reopen [topic] from [DATE]". ``` --- ## Logging Workflow (Post Phase 5) 1. Founder approves synthesis 2. Write Layer 1 raw transcript → `~/.claude/decisions/raw/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` 3. Check conflicts against `~/.claude/decisions/approved/decisions.md` 4. Surface conflicts → wait for founder resolution 5. Write the approved record to `~/.claude/decisions/approved/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` and append to the index `decisions.md` 6. Confirm: decisions logged, actions tracked, DO_NOT_RESURFACE flags added --- ## Marking Actions Complete ```markdown - [x] [Action] — Owner: [name] — Completed: [DATE] — Result: [one sentence] ``` Never delete completed items. The history is the record. --- ## File Structure ``` ~/.claude/decisions/ ├── raw/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md # Layer 1: full transcript per meeting ├── raw/archive/YYYY/ # Raw files after 90 days ├── approved/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md # Layer 2: one record per approved decision └── approved/decisions.md # Layer 2 index: append-only, founder-approved ``` --- ## References - `templates/decision-entry.md` — single entry template with field rules - `scripts/decision_tracker.py` — CLI parser, overdue tracker, conflict detector

- a11y-auditAccessibility audit skill for scanning, fixing, and verifying WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA compliance across React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and plain HTML codebases. Use when auditing accessibility, fixing a11y violations, checking color contrast, generating compliance reports, or integrating accessibility checks into CI/CD pipelines.
- ab-test-setupWhen the user wants to plan, design, or implement an A/B test or experiment. Also use when the user mentions "A/B test," "split test," "experiment," "test this change," "variant copy," "multivariate test," "hypothesis," "conversion experiment," "statistical significance," or "test this." For tracking implementation, see analytics-tracking.
- ad-creativeWhen the user needs to generate, iterate, or scale ad creative for paid advertising. Use when they say 'write ad copy,' 'generate headlines,' 'create ad variations,' 'bulk creative,' 'iterate on ads,' 'ad copy validation,' 'RSA headlines,' 'Meta ad copy,' 'LinkedIn ad,' or 'creative testing.' This is pure creative production — distinct from paid-ads (campaign strategy). Use ad-creative when you need the copy, not the campaign plan.
- adversarial-reviewerAdversarial code review that breaks the self-review monoculture. Use when you want a genuinely critical review of recent changes, before merging a PR, or when you suspect Claude is being too agreeable about code quality. Forces perspective shifts through hostile reviewer personas that catch blind spots the author's mental model shares with the reviewer.
- aeoAnswer Engine Optimization (AEO) skill — optimize content to be cited by AI language models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Mistral) as authoritative sources. Distinct from SEO — AEO optimizes for citation in LLM-generated responses, not search rankings. Use when planning content for AI-first search audiences, auditing existing content for E-E-A-T signals, tracking which pages get cited by which LLMs, or building a citation-friendly content strategy. Triggers — 'AEO audit', 'optimize for ChatGPT', 'get cited by Perplexity', 'LLM citation strategy', 'answer engine optimization', 'content for AI search', 'E-E-A-T audit'. Output is a markdown audit report (default) or JSON for pipeline integration. Stdlib-only Python tools.
- agent-designerUse when the user asks to design a multi-agent system, pick an orchestration pattern (supervisor/swarm/pipeline), generate tool schemas for agents, or evaluate agent execution logs for cost, latency, and failure bottlenecks. Examples: 'design an agent architecture for research automation', 'generate Anthropic tool schemas from these tool descriptions', 'analyze these agent run logs for bottlenecks'. NOT for Claude Code workflow files (use workflow-builder) or single-agent prompt design (use agent-workflow-designer).
- agent-protocolInter-agent communication protocol for C-suite agent teams. Defines invocation syntax, loop prevention, isolation rules, and response formats. Use when C-suite agents need to query each other, coordinate cross-functional analysis, or run board meetings with multiple agent roles.
- agent-workflow-designerDesign production-grade multi-agent workflows with clear pattern choice (sequential, parallel, hierarchical), handoff contracts, failure handling, and cost/context controls. Use when architecting a multi-step agent pipeline, choosing between single-agent vs multi-agent approaches, or refactoring an LLM workflow that suffers from context bloat or unreliable handoffs.
- agenthubMulti-agent collaboration plugin that spawns N parallel subagents competing on the same task via git worktree isolation. Agents work independently, results are evaluated by metric or LLM judge, and the best branch is merged. Use when: user wants multiple approaches tried in parallel — code optimization, content variation, research exploration, or any task that benefits from parallel competition. Requires: a git repo.
- agile-product-ownerAgile product ownership for backlog management and sprint execution. Covers user story writing, acceptance criteria, sprint planning, and velocity tracking. Use when writing user stories, creating acceptance criteria, planning sprints, estimating story points, breaking down epics, or prioritizing the backlog.
