adr SKILL.md skillA

adr from drafthq/draft is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add drafthq/draft/adr@git:20260819.fda278e

Pins git:20260819.fda278e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create and manage Architecture Decision Records. Documents significant technical decisions with context, alternatives, and consequences. Also supports evaluate (assess proposals) and design (system design) modes.

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

# Architecture Decision Records

You are creating or managing Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for this project.

## Red Flags - STOP if you're

- Creating an ADR without understanding the decision context
- Documenting trivial decisions that don't warrant an ADR (e.g., variable naming)
- Writing an ADR after the fact without capturing the original reasoning
- Listing alternatives without genuine pros/cons analysis
- Skipping the "Consequences" section (the most valuable part)
- Not checking existing ADRs for conflicts or superseded decisions

**ADRs capture WHY, not just WHAT. Every decision needs alternatives considered.**

---

## Pre-Check

1. Verify Draft is initialized:

```bash
ls draft/ 2>/dev/null
```

If `draft/` doesn't exist:

- Tell user: "Project not initialized. Run `/draft:init` first."
- Stop here.

2. Check for existing ADR directory:

```bash
ls draft/adrs/ 2>/dev/null
```

If `draft/adrs/` doesn't exist, create it:

```bash
mkdir -p draft/adrs
```

## Step 1: Parse Arguments

Check for arguments:

- `/draft:adr` — Interactive mode: ask about the decision
- `/draft:adr "decision title"` — Create ADR with given title
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drafthq/draft/adr@sha256:05046bb28f2a7055

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.fda278e, 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.
