adr-writer skillA
adr-writer is agent-read markdown (skill) from llopresto87/cypress: Author an Architecture Decision Record that captures a non-obvious technical choice — its context, the decision, the consequences, the rejected alternatives, and the reversibility cost. Use whenever a non-trivial dependency is picked, a framework is chosen, a one-way door is opened, two specialists disagree and the orchestrator must pick, or anyone in a future session would ask "why did we do this?" An ADR exists so the answer is on disk, not in someone's head. Its lifecycle status lives in fron.
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
# adr-writer ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) live in `docs/graph/decisions/` and record every non-obvious technical choice. They are not philosophy papers and not design docs; they are a recorded answer to "why did we pick this?" This skill encodes the discipline of writing them well. ## When to apply this skill - A new dependency is being committed to (the wiki page handles the *what*; the ADR handles the *why*). - A framework, language, or platform is being chosen. - A one-way door is being opened (data model, public API contract, vendor lock-in). - A boundary between two services or modules is being drawn. - Two specialists disagreed and the orchestrator picked an option. - A bug post-mortem revealed an implicit decision that should have been explicit. - A **T2 contained-lane** change made a real choice among options and owes its why-record (`tiers.contained-lane`). Write the short form: Context, Decision, Consequences, Reversibility — the sections that carry the why. Skip Alternatives when none were weighed, and say so in one line rather than inventing them. A contained change whose why needs every section was misclassified; hand that back, do not pad. …

How to install
mdr add llopresto87/cypress/adr-writer@git:20260915.df30567mdr add llopresto87/cypress/adr-writer@sha256:56144fd60546bc3ePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
