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:
npx tsx scripts/create-justification.ts "decision-name" "Justification content here"
Or use heredoc for multi-line content:
npx 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:
---
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.
