Decision-Log Entry

Prompt template

Write a decision-log entry for the following decision.

Date: {{date}}
Decision: {{decision}}
Context: {{context}}
Options considered: {{options}}
Reasoning: {{reasoning}}
Reversibility: {{reversibility}}

Structure (in this exact order):
## <Decision title> · <date>

**Context.** One short paragraph: what state were we in, what triggered the decision.

**Options.** Numbered list. For each option: one-line description + one-line tradeoff.

**Decision.** One short paragraph: which option, who decided, when it takes effect.

**Reasoning.** Bulleted — the load-bearing reasons. No filler.

**Reversibility.** One sentence: how hard is this to undo if it's wrong, and what would the trigger to revisit be.

Tone: terse, technical, future-self-as-reader.

Curator notes

Decision logs are for future-you, not the team. The 'reversibility' field is the most valuable — it tells future-you whether to revisit or accept.
