async-decision-memo
Run a decision asynchronously — the memo, the silent-read window, the comment protocol, and the deadline that makes it land without a meeting. Use when asked to decide something async, replace a decision meeting with a document, run an Amazon-style written decision process, or when a decision keeps stalling in comment threads. Produces the decision memo plus the process wrapper: reader roles, response windows, comment-resolution rules, and the tie-breaker. For the document structure alone use decision-memo; this skill runs the process around it.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill async-decision-memo --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Async Decision Memo Skill Remote teams keep reinventing this badly: someone posts a doc, twelve people leave drive-by comments over two weeks, nothing resolves, and the decision happens in a meeting anyway — now with resentment. The async decision is a *process with a deadline*, not a document with comments enabled. This skill runs the whole protocol. ## What This Skill Produces - The **decision memo** (structured for silent reading, with the recommendation up front) - The **process wrapper**: named roles, response windows, comment-resolution rules, escalation - The **kickoff message** that opens the window and the **closing note** that records the outcome ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not already provided): - **The decision** — what's being decided, the options, the recommendation and its reasoning (rough notes fine) - **The people**: who *decides* (one name), who must be *consulted* (their objection could change the answer), who is merely *informed* - **The clock**: when is this decision needed, and what does it block - **The stakes** — reversible or one-way-door? (Sets the window length and the bar for escalation) ## The Protocol 1. **Write the memo for a silent first read.**

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill async-decision-memo --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
