apdr-decision-recorder

apdr-decision-recorder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lazysheep-z/apdr-product-design-runtime. It costs 26 tokens per session (616 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that records important product and design choices as Markdown Architecture Decision Records, which explain context, decisions, and consequences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the end of project stages to document decisions about requirements, priorities, user flows, tradeoffs, and other delivery choices.
Why use it?
It preserves why choices were made, so later work does not depend on people remembering past discussions.

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

apdr-decision-recorder 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Decision Recorder (APDR)

Records key decisions at each pipeline stage using the MADR format (adr/madr 2284★).

Call this skill at the END of each pipeline stage, after writing the stage artifact.

ADR Format

Each decision record is a Markdown file saved under projects/{projectId}/decisions/:

# ADR-{NNN}: {decision title}

## Context
Why was this decision needed? What constraints or tradeoffs were considered?

## Decision
What was decided? Which option was chosen and why?

## Consequences
What does this mean going forward? What tradeoffs were accepted?

## Metadata
- Stage: {pipeline stage}
- Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}
- Artifact: {artifact type and ID}
- Author: APDR agent ({agent name})

What to Record Per Stage

Stage Decisions to Record
intake Why this product/market? Why these target users? Why exclude other segments?
requirements_analysis Why prioritize these JTBD? Why exclude certain requirements? Key assumptions flagged
prd Why MoSCoW priorities? Feature tradeoffs. Why exclude features? Success metric choices
user_flows Why this flow over alternatives? Design pattern choices. Error handling philosophy
information_architecture Navigation structure decisions. Content grouping logic. Search strategy choices
wireframes Layout patterns. Component placement reasoning. State handling approach
ui_design Design token choices (color palette, typography, spacing). Component design decisions. Dark mode strategy
design_review Issues found, fixes applied, waivers granted
frontend_codegen Tech stack choices. Framework selection. State management approach. API integration patterns

Workflow

  1. Identify the key decisions made in the current stage
  2. For each decision, write an ADR under projects/{projectId}/decisions/ADR-{NNN}-{slug}.md
  3. Use sequential numbering across the whole project (ADR-001, ADR-002, etc.)
  4. Link the ADR back to the stage's artifact in the Metadata.Artifact field
  5. Reference the ADR in the stage artifact's provenance.notes

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.
