ADR templates in the Nygard format with context, decision, consequences, and alternatives. Use when writing ADRs, recording an architectural decision, or evaluating options.

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
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) are lightweight documents that capture important architectural decisions along with their context and consequences. This skill provides templates, examples, and best practices for creating and maintaining ADRs in your projects.

## Overview
- Making significant technology choices (databases, frameworks, cloud providers)
- Designing system architecture or major components
- Establishing patterns or conventions for the team
- Evaluating trade-offs between multiple approaches
- Documenting decisions that will impact future development

## Why ADRs Matter

ADRs serve as architectural memory for your team:
- **Context Preservation**: Capture why decisions were made, not just what was decided
- **Onboarding**: Help new team members understand architectural rationale
- **Prevent Revisiting**: Avoid endless debates about settled decisions
- **Track Evolution**: See how architecture evolved over time
- **Accountability**: Clear ownership and decision timeline

## ADR Format (Nygard Template)

Each ADR should follow this structure:

### 1. Title
Format: `ADR-####: [Decision Title]`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/architecture-decision-record@sha256:06b15add07775370

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
