Summary

AI-powered decision-making framework: 10+ methodologies, cognitive bias detection, strategic planning, career & business decisions. Use when user says "decide", "choose", "compare", "which one", "should I", "weigh options", "trade-off", "pros and cons", "help me pick", "evaluate"

1	# Goal
2
3	Help users make better decisions in minutes instead of hours by applying proven frameworks, detecting cognitive biases, and structuring the evaluation process.

5	# make-decision
6
7	Comprehensive decision-making framework for structured evaluation of options. Contains 10 decision frameworks, 8 decision type classifications, 12 cognitive biases with debiasing strategies, 10 analysis techniques, 8 domain-specific criteria templates, and 8 group facilitation techniques. Searchable knowledge base with BM25 ranking that auto-recommends frameworks, criteria, and bias warnings tailored to your specific decision type.

9	## Prerequisites
10
11	IMPORTANT: Detect the correct Python command first. Some systems use `python3`, others use `python`. Run:
12
13	```bash
14	python3 --version 2>/dev/null \|\| python --version
15	```
16
17	Use whichever command succeeds (`python3` or `python`) for ALL script calls below. If the system only has `python` (common on Windows), substitute `python` everywhere you see `python3` in this document.
18
19	If Python is not installed at all, install it based on user's OS:
20
21	macOS:
22	```bash
23	brew install python3
24	```
25
26	Ubuntu/Debian:
27	```bash
28	sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3
29	```
30
31	Windows:
32	```powershell
33	winget install Python.Python.3.12
34	```
35
36	> Note: On Windows, Python 3 is typically available as `python` (not `python3`).

40	## How to Use This Workflow
41
42	When user requests decision-making help (decide, choose, compare, evaluate, select, prioritize, trade-off, weigh options), follow this workflow:
43
44	### Step 1: Understand the Decision
45
46	Extract key information from user's decision description:
47	- Decision type: Binary choice, multi-option, resource allocation, strategic, operational, under uncertainty, group/stakeholder, time-pressured
48	- Options: What alternatives are being considered?
49	- Context: Industry, stakes, timeline, stakeholders, reversibility
50	- Constraints: Budget, time, resources, dependencies
51
52	### Step 2: Generate Decision Plan (REQUIRED)
53
54	Always start with `--plan` to get comprehensive recommendations:
55
56	```bash
57	python3 scripts/search.py "<decision_description>" --plan [-p "Project Name"]
58	```
59
60	This command:
61	1. Classifies the decision type automatically
62	2. Searches across all 6 knowledge domains
63	3. Recommends the best framework for this type of decision
64	4. Identifies relevant evaluation criteria with weights
65	5. Warns about cognitive biases likely to affect this decision
66	6. Suggests analysis techniques and facilitation methods
67	7. Includes anti-patterns to avoid and a decision checklist
68
69	Example:
70	```bash
71	python3 scripts/search.py "choosing between AWS and Azure for cloud migration" --plan -p "Cloud Migration"
72	```
73
74	### Step 2b: Persist Decision Plan
75
76	To save the plan for reference:
77
78	```bash
79	python3 scripts/search.py "<decision>" --plan --persist -p "Project Name"
80	```
81
82	This creates:
83	- `decision-plans/project-name/PLAN.md` — Complete decision-making plan
84
85	### Step 3: Deep-Dive Domain Searches
86
87	Use when the plan's recommendation needs more detail, OR when user asks about a specific topic (e.g., "what biases should I watch for?"):
88
89	```bash
90	python3 scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]
91	```
92
93	When to use domain searches:
94
95	\| Need \| Domain \| Example \|
96	\|------\|--------\|---------\|
97	\| Choose a decision framework \| `frameworks` \| `--domain frameworks "hypothesis uncertainty"` \|
98	\| Classify the decision type \| `types` \| `--domain types "binary strategic"` \|
99	\| Identify cognitive biases \| `biases` \| `--domain biases "confirmation sunk cost"` \|
100	\| Select analysis techniques \| `analysis` \| `--domain analysis "sensitivity break-even"` \|
101	\| Get evaluation criteria \| `criteria` \| `--domain criteria "technology vendor"` \|
102	\| Plan group facilitation \| `facilitation` \| `--domain facilitation "pre-mortem red team"` \|
103
104	### Step 4: Compare Options
105
106	Use when user has 2+ named options to compare (e.g., "A vs B vs C"). Generate a comparison matrix:
107
108	```bash
109	python3 scripts/search.py --matrix "AWS vs Azure vs GCP" [-c "cost,scalability,security"]
110	```
111
112	This generates a weighted comparison matrix with criteria auto-suggested from templates (or custom criteria via `-c`), scoring guide, and calculation instructions.
113
114	### Step 5: Document the Decision
115
116	Use after reaching a conclusion. Creates a journal entry for future reflection and calibration:
117
118	```bash
119	# Create journal entry
120	python3 scripts/search.py --journal "Choosing cloud provider for Q3 migration"
121
122	# Review past decision
