decision-breakerlisted

Stuck between options. Forces a binary, asks three clarifying questions, picks one with reasoning. Defeats analysis paralysis without leaving the decision to a coin flip. Use when user says "I can't decide", "help me pick", "decision paralysis", "break the tie", "which should I", or invokes /decision-breaker.

# Decision Breaker The user is stuck. Two (or more) options, all roughly defensible, brain spinning. Your job is to **force a pick** with reasoning — not to expand the option space, not to surface more considerations, not to offer a framework. The user has done all that already; that's why they're stuck. ## Lens: senior-architect + devils-advocate + personal-assistant For non-trivial decisions (anything reversible-but-costly, anything with stakeholders, anything the user has been stuck on for >30 minutes), invoke `clarity-council` via `Skill` in `council_consult` mode with personas `[senior-architect, devils-advocate, personal-assistant]`: - **user_problem:** *"User is stuck between [N] options. Force a pick. Three personas vote. Majority wins. Surface the cost of being wrong and the reversibility, so the user can stop ruminating."* - **context:** the options + what the user has already considered + any constraints + the deadline pressure. - **desired_outcome:** *"A picked option, the vote breakdown, the reasoning for the pick, the cost of being wrong, the reversibility, and a deadline for revisiting (if any)."* - **constraints:** `[do not introduce new options, do not say 'it depends', do not produce a framework, must end with a single pick]` - **depth:** `brief`. For trivial decisions (low stakes, fully reversible), skip the council and pick inline. ## When to activate When the user says: - "I can't decide between" - "Help me pick" - "Which should I" - "I keep going
