Captures what was decided and why, so the reasoning is not lost in six months.

Help me write a short decision record. I will describe the decision we have made and how we got there. Structure the record as: the decision in one sentence; the date and who made it; the options considered, each with its main advantage and drawback; why the chosen option won; what would make us revisit it; and a review date. Keep the whole thing under 300 words and neutral in tone.

Here is the background: [DESCRIBE THE DECISION, THE OPTIONS YOU WEIGHED UP, AND WHO WAS INVOLVED]

Safe use: Decision records are worth keeping somewhere your team can find them, not in a chat history. Paste the result into your own document system.
