Show HN: Log-decisions – an append-only decision journal for AI agents
log-decisions An append-only DECISIONS.md journal recording the consequential calls a spec didn't settle — what was chosen, by whom, and why, with decide / assume / escalate rules for what an agent may settle alone. The journal isn't coding-specific: any agent-assisted work — research, writing, ops, data — produces judgment calls someone will later ask "why was it done this way?" about. This skill gives those calls one durable, grep-able home at the repo root.

log-decisions An append-only DECISIONS.md journal recording the consequential calls a spec didn't settle — what was chosen, by whom, and why, with decide / assume / escalate rules for what an agent may settle alone. General-purpose. The journal isn't coding-specific: any agent-assisted work — research, writing, ops, data — produces judgment calls someone will later ask "why was it done this way?" about. This skill gives those calls one durable, grep-able home at the repo root. It ships as an Agent Skill — pure markdown, no scripts — so it runs on Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and any other skills-compatible agent.
