adr

An Architecture Decision Record, or ADR, is a dated document explaining an important technical choice, the reasons for it, and its consequences. Decisions are kept as history; a changed decision creates a new record that replaces the old one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, list, and validate decision records, including their status and links to decisions they supersede.
Why use it?
It preserves the context behind surprising or debated choices, so future developers do not have to reconstruct decisions from old conversations.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

The user invoked /procoder:adr with arguments: $ARGUMENTS

The command below is the procoder binary on PATH.

An ADR captures a cross-cutting decision at the moment it is made, so the constraint that forced it survives the people and chats that knew it. Records are immutable: a changed mind writes a NEW record and marks the old one superseded.

  • procoder adr new <title> — prints the next-numbered record; write it and fill Context (what forced this), Decision (what we chose and why over the alternatives), and Consequences (what gets easier and what gets harder). Then bring the status to accepted with the user's agreement — deciding is theirs.
  • procoder adr list — every record; proposed first.
  • procoder adr check — refuses hollow records, unknown statuses, and supersede references pointing nowhere. Fix what it names.

Record an ADR whenever a decision would surprise a newcomer or took real debate: a dependency chosen, a boundary drawn, a ceiling accepted. With arguments, run the matching subcommand; without, run list and report.

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.

adr is a command published in the GitHub repository azrtydxb/procoder (196 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 268 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
