What it helps you do

Use this skill because it creates higher-quality decision review by separating perspectives before making a recommendation.

Skills load their full instructions only when used, which keeps normal session context smaller.

A reusable `SKILL.md` gives teams a versioned workflow instead of repeated ad hoc prompts.

Best fit users

founders, product managers, engineering leads, strategists, and consultants.

Teams standardizing AI-assisted delivery across multiple repositories.

Builders who want Claude to apply consistent procedures without repasting instructions.

What to know first

decision context, constraints, known options, risk tolerance, and the expert roles you want represented.

A skill directory such as `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` or `~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.

A concise frontmatter description so Claude can decide when to load the skill.
