Use when the user asks to create, write, update, amend, supersede, or evaluate an ADR, architecture decision record, durable architecture decision, decision log, or baseline sync after architecture-changing work.
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
# Recording Architecture Decisions ## Purpose Record durable architecture decisions without losing the current-state baseline closure. An ADR records why a decision was made; a baseline records what the architecture is after that decision. This skill is a lazy, task-specific workflow. It does not replace `verification-before-completion`, does not grant completion authority, and does not make authoritative `GateDecision` or `PolicySnapshot` outputs. ## Required Read Set Before deciding or writing, read the smallest relevant excerpts from: - `docs/adr/ADR-CREATION-GATE.md` - `docs/current/AEGIS_ADR_AUTO_BACKFILL.md` - the target project's current ADR, baseline, or authority docs that own the affected architecture surface For Aegis repository changes, use this repository's `docs/adr/` and `docs/current/` authority order. For target projects with their own ADR system, respect that project owner instead of duplicating the same decision into `docs/aegis/adr/`. ## When To Use Use this skill when the user asks to: - create, write, update, amend, supersede, or evaluate an ADR - decide whether an architecture decision record is needed …

How to install
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/recording-architecture-decisions@sha256:188c327973056ff7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260805.2c29489, 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.
