+### Shell portability
 
-Sprintpilot runs under any LLM CLI (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, etc.) on any OS. The shell that executes commands may be **bash, zsh, PowerShell, or cmd** depending on platform and CLI. Shell-specific idioms will fail silently when the wrong shell is used.
+The executing shell may be bash, zsh, PowerShell, or cmd — translate bash idioms as needed:
 
-**When you encounter bash-style idioms below, translate them to your shell.** The table applies to **external commands** (like `git`); cmdlets have slightly different conventions.
+| Bash | PowerShell |
+|---|---|
+| `A && B` | `A; if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) { B }` |
+| `A \|\| true` | `A; $LASTEXITCODE = 0` |
+| `2>/dev/null` | `2>$null` |
+| `rm -rf <dir>` | `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force <dir>` |
+| `if [ -f X ]; then ... fi` | `if (Test-Path -PathType Leaf X) { ... }` |
 
-| Bash idiom | PowerShell equivalent | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `A && B` | `A; if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) { B }` (or separate commands, guarding B manually) | Run B only if A succeeded |
-| `A \|\| true` | `A; $LASTEXITCODE = 0` (or `try { A } catch {}` for cmdlets) | Run A, ignore failures |
-| `2>/dev/null` | `2>$null` | Suppress stderr |
-| `rm -rf <dir>` | `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force <dir>` | Recursive delete |
-| `if [ -f X ]; then ... fi` | `if (Test-Path -PathType Leaf X) { ... }` | File-exists check (regular file, not dir) |
-
-**Safer:** when in doubt, use the cross-platform Node helpers under `_Sprintpilot/scripts/`. For ad-hoc file ops, invoke Node inline: `node -e "require('fs').rmSync('<path>', {recursive: true, force: true})"`.
-
-If a step below uses `&&` to chain "run B only on A's success", and you cannot express that in one line, **run the commands separately and STOP if any step fails** — do not proceed past a failed step.

 ## DECISION LOGGING
 
-Every non-trivial decision made during autopilot execution MUST be logged to `{decision_log_file}`. This creates an audit trail the user reviews at the end of each session.
-
-### When to log
-
-Log a decision whenever you:
-- Choose an architecture pattern, data structure, or design approach (`architecture`)
-- Select a test strategy or skip a test category (`test-strategy`)
-- Add, remove, or substitute a dependency (`dependency`)
-- Dismiss a code review finding (`review-triage`)
-- Accept and apply a code review finding (`review-accept`)
-- Recover from a HALT condition (`halt-recovery`)
-- Implement something not explicitly in the story spec (`scope`)
-- Apply a workaround for a tool limitation or false positive (`workaround`)
+Log every non-trivial decision to `{decision_log_file}` (skip routine actions — running tests, staging files, creating branches). Create the file on first decision; update `last_updated` on every append.
 
-Do NOT log routine actions (running tests, staging files, creating branches).
-
-### File format
-
-Initialize `{decision_log_file}` on first decision (if it does not exist):
+**Categories:** `architecture`, `test-strategy`, `dependency`, `review-triage` (dismissed finding), `review-accept` (applied fix), `halt-recovery`, `scope` (outside story spec), `workaround`.
+**Impact:** `low` (reversible/cosmetic), `medium` (affects one component), `high` (cross-cutting or deviates from spec).
+**Phase format:** `{skill}:{sub_phase}` — e.g. `dev-story:RED`, `code-review:triage`, `autopilot:routing`.
 
+**File schema:**
 ```yaml
-generated: {current_date}
-last_updated: {current_datetime}
-
-decisions: []
+generated: {date}
+last_updated: {datetime}
+decisions:
+  - { id, timestamp, story, phase, category, decision, rationale, impact }
 ```
 
-Append each decision as a new entry:
-
-```yaml
-  - id: {auto_increment}
-    timestamp: "{current_datetime_iso8601}"
-    story: "{current_story or sprint-level}"
-    phase: "{skill}:{sub_phase}"

-    decision: "{what was decided — one line}"
-    rationale: "{why — one line}"
-    impact: {low|medium|high}
-```
-
-**Phase format:** `dev-story:RED`, `dev-story:GREEN`, `code-review:triage`, `code-review:patch`, `autopilot:init`, `autopilot:routing`, etc.
-
-**Impact levels:**
-- `low` — easily reversible, cosmetic, or standard practice
-- `medium` — affects behavior but contained to one story/component
-- `high` — cross-cutting, hard to reverse, or deviates from spec
-
-Always update `last_updated` when appending.
