Second Opinion — Decision Support From All Sources

Get an informed recommendation that synthesizes vault knowledge, brain patterns, cross-project experience, and web research before making any technical decision.

Steps

1. Understand the Decision

YOUR_AGENT_core op:route_intent
  params: { prompt: "<user's question>" }

2. Search All Knowledge Sources

Vault — previous decisions, patterns, anti-patterns:

YOUR_AGENT_core op:search_intelligent
  params: { query: "<the decision or options>" }

Brain — proven approaches:

YOUR_AGENT_core op:brain_strengths
YOUR_AGENT_core op:brain_recommend
  params: { projectName: "<current project>" }

Cross-project — what other projects chose:

YOUR_AGENT_core op:memory_cross_project_search
  params: { query: "<topic>", crossProject: true }

Web — community consensus, benchmarks, comparison articles.

3. Synthesize and Present

## Decision: [Question]

### What the Vault Says
[Existing decisions, patterns, anti-patterns]

### What the Brain Recommends
[Proven patterns, cross-project insights]

### What the Web Says
[Community consensus, benchmarks]

### Options Analysis
| Criteria | Option A | Option B |
|----------|----------|----------|
| [criteria] | ... | ... |
| Vault support | [patterns?] | [patterns?] |

### Recommendation
[Clear recommendation with reasoning]

### Risks
[What could go wrong]

4. Capture the Decision

YOUR_AGENT_core op:capture_knowledge
  params: {
    title: "<decision title>",
    description: "<chosen option, rationale, rejected alternatives>",
    type: "decision",
    category: "<domain>",
    tags: ["decision"]
  }

Common Mistakes

• Giving a generic AI opinion instead of searching vault/brain first
• Not capturing the final decision (next person faces the same question blind)
• Skipping cross-project search (another project may have solved this)
