Creates, supersedes and validates decision records (ADRs) against the convention a collection already follows, instead of imposing a published one. Use when the user wants to record a decision, write an ADR, supersede an existing decision, audit or lint a decisions folder, check that an ADR index is in sync, or asks "why did we decide X". Deduces the filename scheme, section set and status vocabulary from the records already there; ships a validator with an exit code, so the audit is a check…

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

# decision-records

Decision records are cheap to write and expensive to trust. The expensive part is the
collection: numbers that collide, an index that stopped matching the directory, a record
that says it was superseded and does not say by what. This skill writes records and,
mainly, **holds a collection to its own convention**.

## What this skill does not do

- **It does not ship a template file into the target repo.** The skeleton is in this file.
  A `template.md` next to the records is a second home for the convention, and two homes
  diverge in silence: the template keeps a section the records dropped a year ago and
  nothing says which one is the convention. The most-installed prior art
  (`affaan-m/ECC`, `skills/architecture-decision-records`) creates one; this is a
  deliberate departure, not an oversight.
- **It does not check for private tokens.** Hostnames, instance names, IP ranges and
  personal identity belong to the `privacy-guard` skill, whose denylist is gitignored on
  purpose. Duplicating that list here would put the same list in two places, which is the
  failure above with worse consequences. The `--portable` check covers only what breaks
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fvadicamo/dev-agent-skills/decision-records@sha256:540fa801347367e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.a753d36, 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.
