A second opinion for Claude from decide: it checks content from outside before Claude acts on it and, in bypass mode, shell commands before they run, and gives…

A Claude Code plugin that gets Claude a second opinion from decide at the moments its own judgment is most likely to slip. Each check asks the decision model a typed question and acts only when the answer is likely.
| Check | When | decide asks | When the answer is likely |
|---|---|---|---|
| Command | In bypass mode, before each shell command Claude runs with Bash or Monitor | Could it cause severe harm that is hard to undo, such as deleting a home folder, force-pushing a shared branch, dropping a database, or sending secrets away? (command-risk's severe) | You choose whether it runs. Claude reads why when it doesn't. |
| Content | After WebFetch, WebSearch, an MCP tool, or a gh, curl, wget, or http command | Does it try to take over an AI agent, or hide text from a person? (prompt-injection) | Claude reads a warning beside the result, and you see a toast. |
Claude also gets a judge tool, mcp__decide__judge, for its own typed questions over up to 200 items, and a skill that teaches it to run decide and write templates.
/decide:hunt <commit or PR> finds the other places a fixed bug lives. Claude writes one question about the mistake the fix corrected, checks that it flags the code before the fix and passes the code after, asks it of every function in the repository, and reads up to ten that score 30% or more to confirm them. The question is saved as a project template, such as .decide/templates/bug-87, so later changes can be checked for the same bug.
/decide:audit [path] finds where to look for security bugs. decide's security template ranks every function for SQL and command injection, SSRF, XSS, and weak cryptography; Claude reads up to 15 that score 30% or more, with their callers, in parallel, and reports which are real and which it dismissed, and why.
For a walk through setup and each skill, see the user guide.
You need Claude Code 2.1.287 or later, decide 0.4.0 or later, and a key for a decision model:
brew install deepnoodle-ai/tap/decide
export TYPESAFE_API_KEY=... # or the Cloudflare variables; see the decide README
Then, in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add deepnoodle-ai/decide
/plugin install decide@decide
The footer beside the prompt shows how much decide checked and flagged, such as decide 12 checked, 1 flagged. A checked command or result shows decide ✓ at the right of its row, or a line under it with what was flagged. Run /decide to see the session's checks in a table. Every check is also saved as a decide run:
DECIDE_HOME=~/.decide/agent decide runs
To update the plugin, run claude plugin update decide@decide and restart Claude Code, or turn on auto-update for the marketplace in /plugin.
These go to the decision model's provider, with your key:
gh and curl output, and every MCP tool's result, private connectors included. A result over 1,000,000 characters goes on unchecked;/decide:audit or /decide:hunt, every function in the repository it covers. Its runs and answers are kept in your own ~/.decide, like any decide run.Each check is also saved on your disk as a decide run under ~/.decide/agent/runs, readable only by you. Nothing removes them; delete the folder to clear them.
Answers are kept in decide's answer cache, ~/.decide/agent/cache, so a command Claude runs again, such as go test ./..., is answered without a request. The cache holds hashes and answers, not the commands or text. It is keyed by the model name. When a live answer shows the model behind it changed, older answers are asked again. A check whose answer is cached can't see an upgrade; delete the folder to ask fresh.
A second opinion, not a sandbox. The command check runs only in bypass mode. In the other modes, Claude Code asks you about each command you haven't allowed, or its auto-mode classifier judges it. A command that matches one of your allow rules runs unchecked, as you chose. It flags only severe harm: discarding changes in your checkout, such as git checkout -- ., is not flagged. It judges the text of a command, so make clean or a script can hide what it does. When decide cannot answer (it is not installed, the key is missing, or the provider fails), the action goes on. The check says why in the transcript, the status line shows how many actions went unchecked, and the check tries again a minute later. The status line shows only then, so its ⚠ means something. /decide lists any check that is off, and why.
The plugin runs decide from ~/.decide/agent, so a repository's .decide/templates cannot replace a check's template. A template of the same name in ~/.decide/agent/templates or ~/.decide/agent/.decide/templates would, so the plugin turns that check off and says so.
Set them in the /plugin menu.
| Option | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
commands | ask | In bypass mode, severe commands: ask you, deny them, or off to not check commands |
decidePath | decide | The decide command to run |
The command check flags severe at 80%, and the content check flags injection or hidden at 60%, as the templates do. decide templates show command-risk shows the questions.
