adr-drafting is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,344 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for writing Architecture Decision Records, short documents that explain important software design choices and their trade-offs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Draft a new decision record with its context, chosen approach, status, and expected consequences.
Why use it?
It gives teams a consistent way to record why an architectural decision was made and where that record belongs in the repository.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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-drafting 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 1mo 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.

ADR Drafting

Creates new Architecture Decision Record (ADR) documents for major architectural choices so teams can keep a clear history of why important technical decisions were made.

Overview

This skill helps create a new ADR from discovery to final markdown file. It confirms the decision details, inspects the repository for any existing ADR conventions, and drafts a new ADR with the standard sections Title, Status, Context, Decision, and Consequences.

When the repository does not already have an ADR convention, default to storing ADRs in docs/architecture/adr and use a zero-padded filename such as 0001-use-postgresql-for-primary-database.md.

See references/template.md for the default ADR template and references/examples.md for example ADRs and naming patterns.

When to Use

Use this skill when a user or agent has decided on a meaningful architectural change and needs to document the rationale, chosen direction, and trade-offs in a new Architecture Decision Record. It fits requests such as creating an ADR, documenting an architecture decision, writing a decision record, or preserving the project history behind an important technical choice.

Instructions

Phase 1: Confirm the ADR inputs

Ask the user for the minimum information needed to draft a new ADR:

  1. Decision title
  2. Decision status (Proposed by default if not yet finalized)
  3. Context: the problem, constraints, or forces driving the decision
  4. Decision: the chosen approach
  5. Consequences: what becomes easier, harder, riskier, or more expensive
  6. Confirm that this request is for a new ADR, not for editing an existing ADR
  7. Confirm the desired repository language if documentation language is unclear
  8. Confirm whether any existing ADR naming convention must be preserved

If the user actually wants to update an existing ADR, change statuses in older ADRs, or manage supersession links, explain that this skill only drafts new ADR documents and ask whether they want to proceed with a new record instead.

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.
