tool-note-and-vote
Structured group-decision mechanic that captures silent ideation, voting summaries, and Decider sign-off in a single bundled artifact. Use when a small team needs to make a fast decision with diverse input, when groupthink is a risk, or when a workshop moment demands silent contribution before discussion. Applicable to Foundation Sprint, Design Sprint, and any participatory decision context.
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-note-and-vote --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Note-and-Vote Run a structured group decision in 20-30 minutes. Silent contribution surfaces independent thinking before group dynamics narrow the option space; explicit Decider supervote closes the choice. Produces a written audit trail of the decision and the alternatives considered. ## When to Use - A small team (3-10 people) needs to make a fast decision with diverse input. - Groupthink, status bias, or loudest-voice dominance is a real risk. - A workshop or meeting moment demands silent ideation before open discussion. - The decision needs an audit trail (what was considered, why the chosen option won). - Decision authority is clear (a Decider exists and is in the room or available). - Used heavily across Foundation Sprint and Design Sprint at decision moments. ## When NOT to Use - A single person owns the decision and just needs to make it. Use direct judgment. - Consensus has already emerged organically. The voting overhead adds friction without value. - The decision is high-stakes enough to warrant longer deliberation (multi-day investigation, written proposals, formal review). Note-and-Vote

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-note-and-vote --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 product-on-purpose/pm-skills, a repository with 518 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.
