Decision Linter
Decision linter — like ESLint for your thinking. Scores assumptions as Kind (trust gut) or Wicked (impose structure), runs consider-the-opposite, surfaces blind spots, outputs a paste-ready judgment memo. Use BEFORE committing to any consequential decision: architecture choices, technology selection, product direction, client proposals, estimates, pricing, hiring, or any 'point of no return.' Also use when the user says 'lint this decision', 'decision check', 'check my assumptions', 'is this the right call', 'should I do this', 'am I missing something', 'sanity check', or dumps a document/spec/proposal for review. Auto-triggers when you detect the user is about to commit to a direction with high stakes and limited reversibility. Do NOT use for trivial or easily reversible choices (variable names, minor refactors, lunch), personal relationship advice, hypothetical scenarios without real stakes, or decisions already shipped and irreversible.
