Write, review, and maintain architecture decision records with clear context, alternatives, consequences, confirmation links, and lifecycle governance. Use when a consequential technical decision or its enforceable architectural constraint must remain understandable. Do not use for system-wide evolutionary architecture design, general observability, or operating a named test or CI tool.
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 Authoring Architecture Decision Records for capturing design rationale. ADRs supply the temporal dimension — decisions over time — that structure-only views (C4) miss. ## Start with Repository Conventions 1. Read the repository's agent instructions, contributing guide, ADR index, template, and a few recent records before drafting. Reuse the established location, numbering, headings, status vocabulary, approval process, and amendment policy. 2. Treat this skill's layouts and templates as fallbacks only. Do not move, renumber, rename, or rewrite existing ADRs to fit the skill. If local conventions conflict, preserve the existing records and identify the specific conflict before changing the convention. 3. If no convention exists, use a flat `docs/adr/` directory, stable sequential identifiers, a small index, and a lightweight Nygard template (MADR when option analysis needs more structure). Read `references/project-setup-guide.md` only when establishing a new decision log. …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/adr-authoring@sha256:08292bc9ef80b9faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.d8f3554, 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.
