# Retrieve the current decision

1. Prefer the exact decision key when known.
2. Otherwise search by project, domain, tag, and concise semantic terms.
3. Request current-only results before broad history.
4. Report the decision text, rationale, effective date, actor, and provenance.
5. If multiple plausible current decisions remain, present the ambiguity instead of choosing silently.
6. Include the supersession chain when the user asks how the decision changed.

Never treat a draft candidate, archived record, or superseded Decision as current.
