name: create-justification description: Create a new justification file in .agents/justifications/ with a unique three-word ID, frontmatter, and formatted title license: MIT compatibility: opencode metadata: audience: agents workflow: decision-making

What I do

I help you create new justification files in the .agents/justifications/ directory. Each justification file gets:

• A unique three-word identifier (e.g., swift-emerald-river)
• Frontmatter with the current date and formatted title
• Content you provide

How to use

Run the script with a slug and content:

Copynpx tsx scripts/create-justification.ts "decision-name" "Justification content here"

Or use heredoc for multi-line content:

Copynpx tsx scripts/create-justification.ts "decision-name" << HEREDOC
Multi-line
justification content
goes here
HEREDOC

File format

Files are created as: {three-word-id}-{slug}.md

Example: swift-emerald-river-decision-name.md

The file includes frontmatter:

Copy---
date: 2026-01-13
title: Decision Name
---

Your content here

When to use me

Use this skill when you need to document the reasoning or justification for a decision, approach, or architectural choice. The unique ID ensures no filename conflicts, and the frontmatter provides metadata for organization.
