thread-to-decision

Land a sprawling chat thread on an actual decision — the summarize-and-fork move (positions restated, the question isolated), the decider-and-deadline injection, and the recorded close that ends the forty-message orbit. Use when asked this thread is going in circles, get a decision out of this discussion, summarize where we landed, or why do our threads never conclude. Produces the thread summary with positions attributed, the isolated decision question, the closure message, and the decision record.

# Thread To Decision Skill

Threads orbit because nobody performs the landing: forty messages in, three positions have emerged, two side-quests have spawned, and every participant believes a different thing was "basically agreed." The landing is a *move*, performable by anyone (not just the boss): summarize the positions fairly with names, isolate the actual question from the side-quests, inject the missing structure — a decider and a deadline ([async-instead](../async-instead/SKILL.md) closure rules) — and when the call lands, record it where decisions live, because a decision that exists only at message 47 doesn't exist.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The summary message** — the thread compressed: the question, the positions with names, the side-quests parked
- **The structure injection** — decider named (or proposed), deadline set, silence-meaning declared
- **The closure message** — the decision, its why, dissent acknowledged
- **The record** — the decision logged durably, linked back to the thread
