decision-meeting-format

Run meetings that actually decide — the pre-read-then-decide format, the options-on-the-table rule, the decider named before debate starts, and the recorded-or-it-didn't-happen close. Use when asked run this decision meeting, we discuss forever and never decide, structure the meeting where we pick the vendor/plan/design, or why do our decisions get relitigated. Produces the meeting design: pre-read, the in-room sequence, the decision rule, and the recording that makes it stick.

# Decision Meeting Format Skill

Meetings fail to decide for structural reasons, not character ones: the options were never written down (so debate invents them live), the decider was never named (so consensus is assumed and never arrives), and the decision was never recorded (so it gets relitigated by everyone who remembers it differently). The format fixes all three before the room opens: a pre-read with the options steelmanned, the decider and decision rule announced in the invite, a timeboxed sequence that separates clarifying from advocating, and a close where the decision — with its why and its dissent — lands in the log before anyone leaves.

> **Not quite this?** Use `care-decision-family-meeting` when the decision is a family's choice about care for a relative.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The pre-read spec** — the options doc (each steelmanned, with the recommendation) shipped 24h+ ahead
- **The in-room sequence** — clarify → advocate → decide, timeboxed, with the facilitator moves per phase
- **The decision rule** — who decides and how (decider-decides / consent / vote), announced before debate
- **The record** — decision, why, dissent noted, owner and date — logged before adjourning
