adr

A research assistant for recording architectural decisions: choices about how a software system should be designed. It gathers evidence from web searches, social posts, code repositories, and documentation before creating an ADR, or Architecture Decision Record.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when comparing architecture options, researching best practices, or documenting why a technical decision was made.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of making important design choices from generic advice or unsupported assumptions.

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 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 398 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orc ADR

Research phase before implementation. Runs 4 parallel agents to find best practices, KOLs, and production code.

Avoid:

  • Generic searches ("best practices TypeScript")
  • Ignoring contradictory findings
  • Creating ADRs without evidence
  • Launching more than 4 agents (context limits)

Input

If $ARGUMENTS provided: Use as $TOPIC directly. If the topic looks like it references a plan phase (mentions a slug that exists in .claude/plans/), also load PLAN.md and STATE.md for richer context. Don't enforce a format — just work with what the user gives you.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

adr is a skill published in the GitHub repository qGolem/orc (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 2,743 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
