Creates a new Architecture Decision Record (ADR) in docs/decisions/. Auto-numbers the file based on the highest existing ADR number. Use when asked to "create an ADR about X", "record the decision to use X", "document the architecture decision for X", "add to the decision log", "write an ADR for X", or "record why we chose X".

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

# new-adr

Creates a properly-numbered ADR file in `docs/decisions/`.

## Steps

1. **Determine the next number**
   - List all files matching `docs/decisions/[0-9]*.md`
   - Extract the leading `NNNN` from each filename
   - Take the highest number and add 1 (pad to 4 digits)
   - If no files exist yet, start at `0002` (0001 is the bootstrap ADR)

2. **Build the filename**
   - Slugify the decision title: lowercase, spaces → hyphens, remove
     punctuation
   - Filename: `docs/decisions/NNNN-<slug>.md`

3. **Write the ADR** using the template below, filled in with the decision
   context the user provided. Leave `[date]` as today's ISO date and
   `[author]` as "Claude Code" unless the user specifies otherwise.

4. **Update the architecture doc** (optional)
   - If `docs/architecture.md` has a "Key Design Decisions" section,
     append a link row. If the section doesn't exist, skip this step.

5. **Report** the file path created and the ADR's title + number.

## ADR Template

```markdown
# ADR-NNNN: [Decision Title]

- **Status:** Draft
- **Date:** [YYYY-MM-DD]
- **Author:** [author]

## Context

_What situation or requirement forced this decision?_

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add omarsaleh506/skills/new-adr@sha256:8291dde504a465c5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260628.cd7722f, 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.
