# Decision Quality Audit Skill

## What this skill changes vs. default behavior

By default, Claude evaluates a decision by its result — if the launch worked, the call was good — and accepts a confident rationale at face value. It rarely separates the quality of the *reasoning* from the luck of the *outcome*, checks whether the deliberation matched how reversible the decision was, names the bias quietly driving the choice, or asks whether failure modes were surfaced before commitment. This audit forces four things: every finding names the violated principle; decisions are judged on the reasoning available *at the time*, not hindsight; the bias or process gap is named explicitly with a structural countermeasure; and findings come severity-rated by decision damage and reversibility with a concrete fix.

This is an **evaluative** skill: it auto-runs whenever a significant product decision, decision log, or retrospective is being reviewed — and as a validation step after a consequential call is made.

**Scope discipline.** When invoked directly (the user named this audit), review **only this concern** — don't pull in sibling audits. It runs alongside other lenses only when the `pm-product-review` orchestrator or a generative skill calls it under `docs/orchestration-policy.md`, where it sits in **an artifact-specific lens — offered (for high-stakes, hard-to-reverse decisions)**. Explicit scope always wins.
