record-a-decision skillA

record-a-decision is agent-read markdown (skill) from inkeep/open-knowledge-skills: Records an architecture decision as a Nygard/MADR-shaped ADR under decisions/ — capturing the context that forced the choice, the options weighed, the decision itself, and its consequences in both directions, plus the supersedes chain that keeps a decision log honest. Read when asked to record an architecture decision, write an ADR, log the decision we made, document why we chose X over Y, capture this decision for the record, or supersede an old decision with a new one. Do NOT read to frame a p.
