Write Architecture Decision Records that a future engineer can act on: a numbered, immutable record with the context that forced the decision, the options weighed with real trade-offs, the decision in one sentence, and the consequences including what becomes harder. Covers when a decision deserves an ADR, how to supersede one, and how to keep an index. Use when a design choice has cross-cutting or long-lived effects, when reviewers keep asking why, or when onboarding depends on decisions…
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
An ADR records a decision at the moment it was made, with the reasoning that was available then. It is not documentation of the system (that changes) and not a design document (that precedes the decision). Its reader is an engineer two years from now asking "why is it like this, and can I change it?" ## When to write one Write an ADR when a decision is: - **hard to reverse** (a database, a framework, a public API shape, a data format), or - **cross-cutting** (affects how most code is written: error handling convention, module boundaries, auth model), or - **surprising** (a reader would assume the other option), or - **contested** (people disagreed, and the losing option will come up again). Do not write one for choices that are local, obvious, or cheaply reversible; a comment or a commit message serves those. A repository with 200 ADRs has stopped recording decisions and started recording activity. ## Format ```markdown # 0007.

How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/adr-writing@sha256:79a199ac7ffed5b9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.b628018, 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.
