/linguistic:decide

Force a strategic decision (resource class, transfer source, eval suite, ethics gate).

Syntax

/linguistic:decide [topic]

Description

Crystallize a pending decision recorded in workspace_state.md under "Open Questions". The orchestrator presents the options with bounded pros/cons and routes to the relevant specialist for the recommendation.

Common decisions:

• Transfer source language (via linguistic-scope URIEL distance)
• Vocabulary extension method (via linguistic-tokenize)
• Eval benchmark suite (via linguistic-eval)
• Sacred-text gating threshold (via linguistic-ethics)
• Adapter vs full fine-tune vs LoRA (via linguistic-transfer)

Decisions are recorded with rationale in workspace_state.md under "Decisions Recorded".

Options
