add-adr

add-adr is a command for coding agents from ShipWithAI/shipwithai-plugins. It costs 43 tokens per session (390 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates an Architecture Decision Record, a short document explaining an important technical choice and its reasoning. It stores the record in a project's docs/adr/ folder and keeps the index updated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing between technical approaches, documenting why a system was designed a certain way, or recording trade-offs for future contributors.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated work of numbering, formatting, and cataloguing architecture decisions. It also prompts for the context, options, decision, and consequences needed for a useful record.

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

add-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 5d 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.

What it actually says

/add-adr

Create a new ADR in docs/adr/. Stateless.

Steps

  1. Check if docs/adr/ exists.

    • Missing: "docs/adr/ does not exist yet. Create the ADR structure?" → Yes: create docs/adr/README.md then proceed with this ADR.
    • Exists but docs/adr/README.md missing: create README.md before writing the ADR.

  2. Count existing ADR files → next number = ADR-[XXXX] (zero-padded, e.g. ADR-0004).

  3. If title not provided as argument, ask:

    • Title of the decision?
    • Context: why does this decision need to be made?
    • Options considered? (list each option with pros and cons)
    • Decision: what was chosen and why?
    • Consequences: trade-offs, risks, next steps?

  4. Draft ADR using the template from the plugin's adr-template.md (located at skills/setup-ssot/adr-template.md in the plugin directory) → show preview → confirm.

  5. Write docs/adr/ADR-[XXXX]-[kebab-slug].md.

  6. Update the ADR index table in docs/adr/README.md:

    | [ADR-XXXX](ADR-XXXX-title.md) | [title] | Accepted | YYYY-MM-DD |

  7. Update **Last updated:** date in the Harness config section of CLAUDE.md if the file exists.

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.
