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 record

## Purpose
Turn one design discussion into one DRAFT architecture decision record: context, drivers, the options with what was said for and against each, the decision as worded, consequences and review date. Every statement traces to a fragment or reads UNKNOWN; every factual claim carries a tag showing whether the notes evidence it or only assert it. The record captures the reasoning; it does not judge the design, verify any claim or approve the decision.

## When to use
Run when the user shares or points to design review notes, an architecture discussion, a technical thread or a design proposal and asks for an ADR, decision record or design decision log entry.
Do not use for a business or governance decision with no technical design (decision-memo-builder), for the change ticket that implements the decision (change-request-pack), or to choose the design.

## Inputs
Ask once for whatever is missing, in one message, then proceed with UNKNOWN.
