adr_gate SKILL.md skillA

adr_gate from corvinlabs/corvinos is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add corvinlabs/corvinos/adr_gate@git:20261103.0105fa8

Pins git:20261103.0105fa8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

ADR Gate — evaluates after non-trivial tasks whether an ADR is warranted; creates it in the tenant knowledge base through `kb.py new decision` (the shared knowledge-gate mechanism, judged by `kb check`) when yes, names the skip reason when no, requires three-level analysis (conceptual/structural/implementation), emits ADR-0264 decision-graph frontmatter (depends_on/related/paths/docs — the three-layer Code/Docs/ADR graph) so scripts/adr_graph.py can traverse it, and generates E2E tests 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 Gate — Architectural Decision Record discipline

Apply this gate once at the END of any non-trivial implementation task, immediately before declaring "done." Most tasks will not produce an ADR — that is the correct and expected outcome.

## The bar is HIGH

The default answer is: **no ADR needed.** An ADR is only warranted when a future contributor would be genuinely confused about *why* the system works a certain way — and that confusion would cost them real time or lead them to inadvertently break a structural invariant.

**Do NOT write an ADR for:**
- Bug fixes with no design decision (one obvious fix, no real alternative)
- Pure refactors where behaviour is unchanged
- Config value or threshold changes
- Test additions or fixes
- Documentation, comment, or copy changes
- UI tweaks, renaming, small cleanups
- Anything trivially reversible without data migration or cross-repo coordination

## Write an ADR only when BOTH conditions hold

**Condition A — A real design choice was made:**
You chose A over B, and that choice non-trivially constrains future code. There was a genuine alternative.

**Condition B — At least one structural trigger applies:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add corvinlabs/corvinos/adr_gate@sha256:0d0aac48126daf54

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.0105fa8, 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.
