blueprint-adr-validate

blueprint-adr-validate is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A validator for Architecture Decision Records, which are documents that record important software design choices. It checks their numbering, links, domains, cycles, and consistency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit ADRs after code changes or before a release, either producing a report or helping address the problems it finds.
Why use it?
It helps catch broken references, conflicting decisions, duplicate numbers, and circular relationships before they cause confusion or affect a release.

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

blueprint-adr-validate 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/check-adr-numbers.sh, scripts/generate-adr-index.sh, scripts/tests/test-check-adr-numbers.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

/blueprint:adr-validate

Validate Architecture Decision Records for relationship consistency, reference integrity, and domain conflicts.

Usage: /blueprint:adr-validate [--report-only]

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use alternative when...
Maintaining ADR integrity before releases Creating new ADRs (use /blueprint:derive-plans)
Auditing after refactoring or changes Quick one-time documentation review
Regular documentation review process General ADR reading

Context

  • ADR directory exists: !find . -path '*/docs/adrs' -maxdepth 2 -type d
  • ADR count: !find . -path '*/docs/adrs/*' -name "*.md" -type f
  • Domain-tagged ADRs: !find . -path '*/docs/adrs/*' -maxdepth 3 -name '*.md' -exec grep -l "^domain:" {} +
  • Flag: !echo "${1:---}"

Parameters

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  • --report-only: Output validation report without prompting for fixes
    • Default: Interactive mode with remediation options

Execution

Execute complete ADR validation and remediation workflow:

Step 1: Discover all ADRs

  1. Check for ADR directory at docs/adrs/
  2. If missing → Error: "No ADRs found in docs/adrs/"
  3. Parse all ADR files: ls docs/adrs/*.md
  4. Extract frontmatter for each ADR: number, id, created, modified, status, domain, supersedes, superseded-by, extends, relates-to

Step 2: Validate reference integrity

For each ADR, validate:

  1. supersedes references: Verify target exists, target status = "Superseded", target has reciprocal superseded-by
  2. extends references: Verify target exists, warn if target is "Superseded"
  3. related references: Verify all targets exist, warn if one-way links
  4. self-references: Flag if ADR references itself
  5. circular chains: Detect cycles in supersession graph
  6. Cross-workspace references (v3.3.0+, manifests with workspaces.role): Recognise these reference forms in supersedes/extends/related fields:
    • ADR-NNN — local to the current workspace (existing behaviour).
    • <workspace-path>/ADR-NNN — points into a sibling/child workspace. Resolve by reading <workspace-path>/docs/adrs/ from the monorepo root. Warn if the workspace is not listed in root workspaces.children.
    • /ADR-NNN — points at the monorepo root's ADR set. Resolve using the manifest's workspaces.root_relative_path (for child manifests) or the current directory (for root manifests). Unresolved cross-workspace refs are reported as warnings (not errors) so they do not block validation during migration.

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.
