Decision Navigator

What it does

Decision Navigator helps users who are confused, overwhelmed, or unsure by guiding them through a short, structured branching conversation. The skill repeatedly asks one tightly-focused, multiple-choice question (3-5 concise options), extracts any context the user already provided, and drills down through 3-4 levels of branching until it reaches a leaf where the agent can return 3-6 concrete, ordered action steps the user can take immediately. Tone is warm and practical - reflect the user's words, avoid judgment, and keep options short and mutually exclusive.

When to use it

Trigger this skill when a user signals confusion or open-ended goals (e.g., "I don't know what to do", "I want to X but don't know how", "I feel lost about...") or when they present vague ambitions like starting a business, changing careers, or learning something new. Use it proactively when the user appears stuck even if they don't ask for help explicitly.

What's included

• Scripts: none in this skill (pure dialogue/interaction guidance).
• References: none.
• Instructions: clear step-by-step facilitation rules: acknowledge and summarize user input, ask one clarifying multiple-choice question with 3-5 short options, extract existing context before asking, branch based on the user's choice for 3-4 levels, and deliver 3-6 specific, ordered action steps at the leaf. Also includes format and tone guidance and edge-case handling (distress, vague inputs, multi-path exploration).

Compatible agents

This is harness-agnostic guidance suitable for conversational assistants and agent frameworks like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex where the agent can present choices and accept selection. It requires only chat interaction primitives and fits both chat-first and tool-assisted blocking-question flows.
