Writes ADRs for high-impact choices, classed as one-way or two-way doors, with trade-offs, opportunity cost and validation criteria. Use for /adr, /decision or a critical technical choice.
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
# Founder Technical Decision (ADR Framework) ## Overview Founders and lead engineers must make hundreds of technical choices under extreme uncertainty. Jeff Bezos famously categorized decisions into **Type 1 (One-Way Doors: irreversible, high stakes)** and **Type 2 (Two-Way Doors: easily reversible, low cost to pivot)**. `founder-technical-decision` provides an executive Architecture Decision Record (ADR) format tailored for high-speed startup engineering. ## Decision Classification - **Type 1 (One-Way Door)**: Primary Database engine (Postgres vs MongoDB vs DynamoDB), Core multi-tenant isolation model, Primary programming language/runtime. *Approach*: Require deep evaluation, stress-testing, and written alternatives. - **Type 2 (Two-Way Door)**: UI component library, ORM vs raw SQL queries, email sending provider, specific charting library. *Approach*: Make the decision in under 15 minutes, pick the most familiar tool, move fast. ## Standard ADR Format Save in `brain/<conversation-id>/architecture_decision_[topic].md`: ```markdown # Architectural Decision Record: [Decision Title] ## 1.

How to install
mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/founder-technical-decision@sha256:e7ec4b29054f03f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.522e28a, 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.
