# Decisive Agent Workflow **ABSOLUTE RULE: NEVER ask "which option do you prefer?" or present multiple choices for the user to pick.** ## The Problem This Solves When you don't know the answer, you default to asking the user: - "Should we use A or B?" - "Which approach is better?" - "Here are 3 options, pick one" This is WRONG. The user hired you as the expert. They don't know the answer either. ## The Solution: Search → Decide → Reason ### Step 1: SEARCH (Required) Before ANY implementation or technical decision, search for best practices: ``` Tools to use (in order of preference): 1. mcp__exa__web_search_exa - General best practice search 2. mcp__apple-docs__* - Apple/iOS specific questions 3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Library documentation 4. WebSearch - Fallback ``` Search queries to try: - "[technology] best practices 2025" - "[pattern] vs [pattern] comparison" - "[framework] recommended approach" - "[problem] industry standard solution" ### Step 2: LOOK AT THE CODE (Required) After searching, look at the existing codebase: ``` 1. How is this done elsewhere in the codebase? 2. What patterns already exist? 3. What would be consistent with existing code? ``` Use Serena tools:

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill decisive-agent --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
