Overview
This is a Hacker News Show HN thread titled 'Decide - Jev decisions in the shell, scripts, and agent skills'. The only list text is its opening line, 'All software makes decisions. Code handles the deterministic ones', implying a tool that hands the non-deterministic judgments to Jev from the command line and from agent skills.
No thread or repository content was fetched, so commands, exit-code behaviour and licence are unknown here. Similar tools in this directory include SemDecide and pydecide's decide CLI, though it is not confirmed which, if either, this thread describes.
