arch-deviate skillA
arch-deviate is agent-read markdown (skill) from baristaze/swe_guidelines: Record a deliberate deviation from the guideline as an ADR under docs/adr/: the rule quoted, the decision, the consequences. Use when a finding is accepted as intentional..
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
# arch-deviate A project that follows the guideline may still need to diverge from a rule. The divergence is recorded, not argued about in review threads: one ADR quotes the rule, states the decision, and names what the project accepts in exchange. A breach whose ADR is cited next to the code is a documented exception. A review reports it on one line under Deviations. It is not a finding, and it never lowers a severity. ## Input `$ARGUMENTS` names the rule being deviated from, as a lens id (`STO-02`), a section by title (`The Storage Layer, Storage Principles`), or a sentence describing it, optionally followed by a one-line reason. A technology substitution (an equivalent in place of a technology the guideline names) is not a deviation and is recorded in the project's technology-choices ADR instead, as the guideline's "Technology Choices and How to Override Them" section states; when `$ARGUMENTS` describes one, say so and stop. Ask in one message for what is missing: the reason, the scope of the deviation (which namespace, service, or table), and whether it is permanent or has a condition for ending. ## Procedure …

Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
