Record a design decision as an ADR in the repo's docs/adr/, or decide whether it clears the filing bar or belongs in a note or the commit body. Use when recording a decision (ADR にして), or when context-sync finds a buried decision.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ADR Writer

Capture a design decision as a numbered ADR with consistent structure. The skill handles the boilerplate (directory detection, sequence numbering, index update) in scripted steps, and the main loop writes the prose.

## Why the main loop writes

Deterministic concerns — where the ADR goes, what number it gets, which index needs updating — are easy to get wrong silently (number collisions, sub-directory cwd confusion, index drift), so they live in scripted steps. The prose is written by the main loop that holds the decision: rendering to the house template is cheap for it, and the decision packet (Step 3) is the discipline that keeps *decide* and *render* apart — the packet is settled first, the file is a faithful expression of it, nothing is inferred while writing. A writer renders a decision; it does not make one. The evidence script (Step 4.5) is the fidelity check.

## When to Use (filing conditions — canonical)

Write a new ADR only when the decision meets **all three**:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shimo4228/claude-harness/adr-writer@sha256:47b47834b2e75514

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.b5821aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
