gdd-unlock-decision

Reopens a LOCKED design decision - the only escape hatch from the hard lock. Requires an explicit --approver and writes an audit entry, then moves the decision locked → reviewing (via scripts/lib/collab/review-queue.cjs). Previews the audit record before writing; never unlocks silently. Use when a locked decision genuinely must change (a later constraint invalidated it) and a reviewer has signed off.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by hegemonart on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Gdd Unlock Decision AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/hegemonart/get-design-done/tree/main/scripts/skill-templates/unlock-decision
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hegemonart/get-design-done.git /tmp/get-design-done
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/get-design-done/scripts/skill-templates/unlock-decision .claude/skills/gdd-unlock-decision

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Gdd Unlock Decision in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Gdd Unlock Decision on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Gdd Unlock Decision is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

{{command_prefix}}unlock-decision

A locked decision is hard - it cannot be amended. This skill is the only way back, and it is deliberately heavyweight: it requires a named approver and records an audit entry, so reopening a locked decision is always traceable. Contract: ../../reference/multi-author-model.md.

Invocation

Command	Behavior
`{{command_prefix}}unlock-decision <id> --approver <who>`	Unlock `<id>` (locked → reviewing), recording the approver.
`{{command_prefix}}unlock-decision <id> --approver <who> --reason <text>`	Same, with a reason in the audit entry.
`{{command_prefix}}unlock-decision <id> --dry-run`	Preview the audit record + the resulting state; change nothing.

Steps

Validate args. <decision-id> required; --approver required (a non-empty name). Missing --approver → print the usage + exit without changing anything.
Load the entry from .design/reviews/<decision-id>/state.json. Not found → report it. Not in locked state → print unlock-decision: <id> is not locked (state: <state>); nothing to unlock.
Preview. Show the audit entry that will be appended ({ action: unlock, from: locked, to: reviewing, approver, reason }) and the resulting state. If --dry-run, stop here.

Apply via the pure helper:

bash
node -e '
  const fs = require("fs");
  const rq = require("./scripts/lib/collab/review-queue.cjs");
  const p = process.argv[1], approver = process.argv[2], reason = process.argv[3] || "";
  const entry = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p, "utf8"));
  const next = rq.unlock(entry, { approver, reason });
  fs.writeFileSync(p, JSON.stringify(next, null, 2) + "\n");
  console.log(JSON.stringify(next.audit[next.audit.length - 1]));
' ".design/reviews/<id>/state.json" "<who>" "<reason>"

Report the new state + the recorded approver. The decision is now reviewing and amendable again; it must be re-reviewed + re-locked to become durable.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gdd Unlock Decision AI skill do?

Why use Gdd Unlock Decision on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Gdd Unlock Decision is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Gdd Unlock Decision in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/hegemonart/get-design-done/tree/main/scripts/skill-templates/unlock-decision. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Gdd Unlock Decision?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Gdd Unlock Decision?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Gdd Unlock Decision with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Gdd Unlock Decision AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by hegemonart under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
