adr

adr is a command for coding agents from atuljha23/holocron. It costs 40 tokens per session (455 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that writes an Architectural Decision Record, or ADR: a dated document explaining an important software design decision and its alternatives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document the context, decision drivers, considered options, outcome, consequences, and validation plan in the repository's ADR folder.
Why use it?
It creates a consistent record of why a decision was made, making future maintenance and reconsideration easier.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

adr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Title: $ARGUMENTS

Locate the ADR directory

Check in this order and use the first one that exists:

  • docs/adr/
  • docs/adrs/
  • adrs/
  • adr/
  • docs/decisions/

If none exists, default to docs/adr/ and create it.

Determine the next number

Look at existing NNNN-*.md files and pick next. If none, use 0001.

Write the ADR

File: <adr-dir>/<NNNN>-<slug>.md (slug = lowercased title, hyphens, no punctuation).

Template (MADR-inspired):

# <Title>

- **Status**: Proposed
- **Date**: <YYYY-MM-DD>
- **Deciders**: <who>
- **Supersedes**: —  |  **Superseded by**: —

## Context and problem statement

<what forces are at play; why a decision is needed now>

## Decision drivers

- <driver 1>
- <driver 2>

## Considered options

1. **<option A>** — sketch
2. **<option B>** — sketch
3. **<option C>** — sketch

## Decision outcome

Chosen option: **<option X>**, because <reason>.

### Positive consequences
- <what becomes easier>

### Negative consequences
- <what becomes harder / what we defer>

## Validation
<how we will know this was the right call — a measurable outcome or a review trigger>

Delegate the prose drafting to @architect (who holds the tradeoff discipline) and optionally polish with @docs-writer.

After writing, print the file path and the TL;DR.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
