The rules for when a decision becomes an ADR. The default is no, only durable decisions qualify, search first, one decision per ADR, and a human accepts an ADR when they record the plan. Use only inside a speq plan, record, or audit workflow, when deciding whether a decision becomes an ADR. Not for general decision records.
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 Rules An ADR is a rare record of a durable decision. Most plans produce none. This skill is the single owner of the rules. Other skills and agents cite it and do not restate it. ## 1. Default No - The expected number of `Promotes to ADR: yes` entries per plan is zero. - Set `yes` only when a criterion in rule 2 applies and you can name it. - Two or more `yes` entries in one plan get re-judged. Re-read each one against rule 2 and rule 3 before you keep it. - A plan with many Design Decisions entries or many resolved review findings does not owe an ADR for each. Most decisions are local and stay `no`. ## 2. Criteria for Yes A decision qualifies only when at least one of these holds: - It affects multiple components or teams. - It sets a long-lived constraint that binds future work. - It is a major technology, API, persistence, security, or deployment choice. - It rejects a plausible alternative, and the reason will matter to a later reader. The entry's Rationale names the criterion that applies and states the result of the search in rule 5. ## 3. Never an ADR - Naming, file placement, and folder layout. - A one-off bug fix. - A scope trim or a task ordering choice. …

How to install
mdr add marconae/speq-skill/speq-adr-rules@sha256:4a7cd9653956816cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.5b73638, 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.
