Generates Architecture Decision Records capturing context, rationale, alternatives, and consequences in numbered status-tracked format. Triggers on: "write an ADR", "document this decision", "architecture decision record", "decision record", "design decision", "ADR for".
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 Captures architecture decisions in a lightweight, structured format that preserves context, rationale, alternatives, and consequences. Produces numbered ADR documents with proper status lifecycle — preventing the "why did we do it this way?" problem when revisiting decisions months later. ## Reference Files | File | Contents | Load When | | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | `references/adr-template.md` | Standard ADR template with field explanations and examples | Always | | `references/status-lifecycle.md` | Status transitions, supersession rules, deprecation process | ADR references existing decisions | | `references/context-capture.md` | Techniques for eliciting and documenting decision context | Complex or multi-stakeholder decision | …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/adr-writer@sha256:e249a79b167283a4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
