About decision-logger

Decision Logger is a two-layer decision-memory skill for founders and their staff. It separates raw meeting transcripts from founder-approved decisions and tracks actions, deadlines, and conflicts.

Key features

  1. 01Two-layer decision storage
  2. 02Approved-decision history
  3. 03Action and deadline tracking
  4. 04Conflict and contradiction detection
  5. 05Search and owner filters

Use cases

  1. 01Reviewing approved decisions before meetings
  2. 02Finding overdue action items
  3. 03Checking a proposal against past decisions
  4. 04Searching decisions by topic or owner

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Details

From the project README

Decision Logger

Two-layer memory system. Layer 1 stores everything. Layer 2 stores only what the founder approved. Future meetings read Layer 2 only — this prevents hallucinated consensus from past debates bleeding into new deliberations.

Quick Start

python scripts/decision_tracker.py --demo             # See sample output
python scripts/decision_tracker.py --summary          # Overview + overdue
python scripts/decision_tracker.py --overdue          # Past-deadline actions
python scripts/decision_tracker.py --conflicts        # Contradiction detection
python scripts/decision_tracker.py --owner "CTO"      # Filter by owner
python scripts/decision_tracker.py --search "pricing" # Search decisions

Two-Layer Architecture

Storage follows the canonical two-layer decision memory (see ../agent-protocol/SKILL.md → "Decision Memory (Canonical Layout)") — the same layout /c-level-agents:decide writes.

Layer 1 — Raw Transcripts

Location: ~/.claude/decisions/raw/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md

  • Full Phase 2 agent contributions, Phase 3 critique, Phase 4 synthesis
  • All debates, including rejected arguments
  • NEVER auto-loaded. Only on explicit founder request.
  • Archive after 90 days → ~/.claude/decisions/raw/archive/YYYY/
Layer 2 — Approved Decisions

Location: ~/.claude/decisions/approved/ — one record per decision (YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md) plus the append-only index decisions.md

  • ONLY founder-approved decisions, action items, user corrections
  • Loaded automatically in Phase 1 of every board meeting
  • Append-only. Decisions are never deleted — only superseded.
  • Managed by Chief of Staff after Phase 5. Never written by agents directly.

Migration: a legacy memory/board-meetings/ folder may exist from earlier versions; read it for history but write all new entries to ~/.claude/decisions/.

Decision Entry Format

## [YYYY-MM-DD] — [AGENDA ITEM TITLE]

**Decision:** [One clear statement of what was decided.]
**Owner:** [One person or role — accountable for execution.]
**Deadline:** [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Review:** [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Rationale:** [Why this over alternatives. 1-2 sentences.]

**User Override:** [If founder changed agent recommendation — what and why. Blank if not applicable.]

**Rejected:**
- [Proposal] — [reason] [DO_NOT_RESURFACE]

**Action Items:**
- [ ] [Action] — Owner: [name] — Due: [YYYY-MM-DD] — Review: [YYYY-MM-DD]

**Supersedes:** [DATE of previous decision on same topic, if any]
**Superseded by:** [Filled in retroactively if overridden later]
**Raw transcript:** ~/.claude/decisions/raw/[DATE]-<slug>.md

Conflict Detection

Before logging, Chief of Staff checks for:

  1. DO_NOT_RESURFACE violations — new decision matches a rejected proposal
  2. Topic contradictions — two active decisions on same topic with different conclusions
  3. Owner conflicts — same action assigned to different people in different decisions

When a conflict is found:

⚠️ DECISION CONFLICT
New: [text]
Conflicts with: [DATE] — [existing text]

Options: (1) Supersede old  (2) Merge  (3) Defer to founder

DO_NOT_RESURFACE enforcement:

🚫 BLOCKED: "[Proposal]" was rejected on [DATE]. Reason: [reason].
To reopen: founder must explicitly say "reopen [topic] from [DATE]".

Logging Workflow (Post Phase 5)

  1. Founder approves synthesis
  2. Write Layer 1 raw transcript → ~/.claude/decisions/raw/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md
  3. Check conflicts against ~/.claude/decisions/approved/decisions.md
  4. Surface conflicts → wait for founder resolution
  5. Write the approved record to ~/.claude/decisions/approved/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md and append to the index decisions.md
  6. Confirm: decisions logged, actions tracked, DO_NOT_RESURFACE flags added

Marking Actions Complete

- [x] [Action] — Owner: [name] — Completed: [DATE] — Result: [one sentence]

Never delete completed items. The history is the record.
