030-architecture-adr-general

030-architecture-adr-general is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jabrena/plinth. It costs 79 tokens per session (580 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An interactive guide for creating an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) for a Java project. An ADR records the context, options, decision, and consequences of an important technical choice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather project context, stakeholders, decision factors, alternatives, trade-offs, outcomes, and consequences, then generate a MADR-format document.
Why use it?
It helps teams make implicit decisions explicit and preserve the reasoning behind them.

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

030-architecture-adr-general 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 11d 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.

Java ADR Generator with interactive conversational approach

Generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for Java projects through an interactive, conversational process that elicits the decision inputs needed for a well-structured ADR. This is an interactive SKILL. Use only the current conversation and repository files explicitly available in the current session; do not expose, persist, or reuse unrelated user/project context.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • ADR file storage configuration
  • Conversational information gathering: context, stakeholders, decision drivers, options with pros/cons, outcome, consequences
  • MADR template generation

Constraints

Handle ambiguity and blockers explicitly to avoid implicit assumptions.

  • EDGE CASE: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands
  • EDGE CASE: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance
  • EDGE CASE: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off

When to use this skill

  • Generate ADR
  • Create Architecture Decision Record
  • Document architecture decision
  • Architecture Decision Record for Java
  • Write ADR
  • Document technical decision
  • Architecture documentation
  • Record design decision
  • Technology choice documentation
  • Framework selection ADR
  • Database choice ADR
  • Architectural trade-offs
  • Technical alternatives evaluation
  • Why did we choose
  • Deployment strategy ADR
  • Infrastructure choice
  • Vendor selection ADR

Workflow

  1. Load ADR reference and elicit decision inputs

Load references/030-architecture-adr-general.md from this skill, then elicit stakeholders, decision drivers, options, and trade-offs through the current conversation only.

  1. Synthesize and confirm decision

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.
