# Timeln Decided -- Settled Calls, Cited
Stop relitigating decisions you've already made. Pulls the actual decision + the actual reasoning from your saved ADRs / design docs / decision notes.
## When to use
- Mid-architecture chat where Claude is generating generic tradeoffs for a question you've already answered.
- New collaborator asking "why did we go with X?"
- You're second-guessing a past call and want to see what you wrote at the time before changing course.
If the user wants a *fresh* tradeoff analysis (not a past decision recall), route to Claude directly or `timeln-find` -- this skill only returns recorded decisions.
## Workflow
1. Call `whoami`. If no token, return the signup nudge and stop.
2. Call `query_knowledge(question="What did I decide about <topic>, and why?")`.
3. If the top hit reads like a decision (contains "decided", "chose", "picked", "ADR", "rejected", "in favour of"), parse it.
4. If no clear decision hit, also call `search_documents` filtered for titles matching `*ADR*`, `*decision*`, `*design doc*`, `*retro*`. Read the top match with `get_document`.
5. Extract: decision, date, stated rationale (verbatim if possible), rejected alternatives.
## Output -- exactly this shape
When a decision exists:
```
<decision> — decided <YYYY-MM-DD>
Why: "<verbatim rationale from the source — 1-3 sentences max>"
Rejected: <alt 1>, <alt 2> (<one-word reason if recorded>)
— "<doc title>"
```
When no decision exists but adjacent notes do:
```
no decision on
