Presents SMARTS analyses and recommendations but never arbitrates — every variance is resolved by an explicit user choice recorded in the decision log with user attribution. With no argument it runs a full reconciliation pass; an argument scopes it to a named ADR, conflict, or artifact.</p>\n<h2>Routes to</h2>\n<p>The <code>decision-variance</code> skill (<code>&lt;plugin-root&gt;/routines/decision-variance/SKILL.md</code>). It locates\nthe three architectural artifacts by exact filename — <code>01-architecture-breakdown.md</code>,\n<code>02-phased-build-plan.md</code>, <code>03-task-backlog.md</code> (under <code>&lt;project-root&gt;/.codearbiter/plans/</code>) —\nand indexes the append-only decision log at\n<code>&lt;project-root&gt;/.codearbiter/decisions/decision-log.md</code>. It MAY dispatch the\n<code>decision-challenger</code> agent (<code>&lt;plugin-root&gt;/agents/decision-challenger.md</code>) to stress-test an\nin-scope ADR — optional, not forced. Each variance ends in one of three user-chosen outcomes:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Ratify</strong> — the existing decision stands; the SMARTS analysis and re-affirmation are logged.</li>\n<li><strong>Supersede</strong> — a new decision is recorded by appending a log entry whose <code>Supersedes:</code> references\nthe prior one; a replacement ADR is authored via <code>/ca-adr</code>.</li>\n<li><strong>Surface as <code>[CONFIRM-NN]</code></strong> — unresolvable now; a numbered placeholder is added to\n<code>&lt;project-root&gt;/.codearbiter/open-questions.md</code>.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>When NOT to use</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Author a brand-new ADR with no prior conflict → <code>/ca-adr</code>.</li>\n<li>Check ADR health (aged, unchallenged, unresolved CONFIRM-NN) → <code>/ca-adr-status</code>.</li>\n<li>A general architectural discussion without recording a decision → <code>/ca-btw</code>.</li>\n<li>A rule conflict between project docs and code → <code>/ca-conflict</code>.</li>\n<li>Routine git text-merge conflicts — this is architectural reconciliation, not merge resolution.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Hard gate</h2>\n<p>MUST NOT record an arbitration decision without an explicit user choice; decline \"you decide\" /\n\"use your best judgment\" with a structural refusal (the only delegation is the user verbatim accepting\nthe recommendation, logged as such in <code>Decided by:</code>). MUST match the three artifacts by exact\nfilename. The decision log is append-only — MUST NOT edit or rebuild a prior entry; supersede by\nappending. MUST NOT modify the artifacts, scaffold, or code to \"fix\" a variance. MUST NOT author an\nADR as the disposition of a routine finding — ADRs are authored only via <code>/ca-adr</code> with user\nattribution.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2818,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
