adr is agent-read markdown (skill) from drafthq/draft: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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- Not checking existing ADRs for conflicts or superseded decisions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
…
