adr

An Architecture Decision Record assistant for RHDH projects. An Architecture Decision Record is a short document that records an important technical choice, its context, alternatives, and trade-offs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps structure a problem, draft an ADR, critique an existing ADR, suggest alternatives, and refine individual sections.
Why use it?
It turns a loosely described technical problem into a decision that the team can review and preserve. This reduces missing context and makes alternatives easier to compare.

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.

ADR Skill

Help write, review, and refine Architecture Decision Records for RHDH projects.

Available Commands

  • /adr structure - Structure a messy problem into ADR format
  • /adr draft - Generate complete ADR from your decision
  • /adr critique - Review and critique an existing ADR
  • /adr alternatives - Suggest alternative approaches
  • /adr refine - Improve a specific ADR section

Command Details

/adr structure

Help structure a problem into ADR format.

Process:

  1. Ask user: "What problem are you solving? What's the current state and limitation?"
  2. Optionally ask for project context if needed: "What's your project repository URL and what does it do?"
  3. Read ADR-TEMPLATE.md to understand structure
  4. Analyze the problem and suggest:
    • How to frame the Context section
    • What decision options to consider
    • Key trade-offs to analyze
    • What information is missing

Output: Structured outline ready to fill into template


/adr draft

Generate a complete ADR draft from a decision.

Process:

  1. Ask user for:

    • What decision have you made?
    • What problem does it solve?
    • Current state/limitations
    • Key requirements or constraints
  2. Optionally ask for project context if needed: "What's your project repository URL and what does it do?"

  3. Read ADR-TEMPLATE.md for structure

  4. Read ADR-GUIDE.md for guidelines

  5. Pull the latest main and re-run the script ./scripts/suggest-next-adr.sh if needed.

  6. Run ./scripts/suggest-next-adr.sh from the repo root to get the next ADR number for filename. Use the output for the filename: decisions/NNN-kebab-case-title.md (Logic matches .github/workflows/adr-number-check.yaml.)

    • The script only sees ADR files on your current branch (usually main plus your changes) — not numbers proposed in other open PRs.
    • Before finalising the filename, check open PRs on the repo for new decisions/NNN-*.md files (better chance of avoiding conflicts; not guaranteed).
    • CI validates on PR; the number is not final until the ADR PR is merged.

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 redhat-developer/rhdh-adr (2 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,968 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
