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-review 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/detect_adr_changes.py), 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.

ADR Review

Multi-agent debate pattern for rigorous ADR validation. Orchestrates 6 specialized agents through structured review rounds until consensus or 10 rounds maximum.

Triggers

Trigger Phrase Operation
review this ADR Full 6-agent debate on specified ADR
validate ADR-005 Targeted review of specific ADR by number
review this decision record ADR review for durable architecture/design decision records
delete ADR-NNN Deletion review with dependency and supersession checks
ADR file created, modified, or deleted Auto-triggered via detect_adr_changes.py

Quick Start

# Manual triggers:
/adr-review .agents/architecture/ADR-005-api-versioning.md
"review this ADR"
"validate ADR-005"
"review this decision record under docs/decisions"

Automatic Detection: A Claude Code hook runs at session start and detects ADR changes, prompting you to invoke this skill. The pre-commit hook also detects staged ADR files and displays a reminder.

Input Output Consensus Required
ADR file path Debate log + Updated ADR 6/6 Accept or D&C

File Triggers

Pattern Location Events
ADR-*.md .agents/architecture/ create, update, delete
ADR-*.md docs/adr/ create, update, delete
ADR-*.md docs/architecture/ create, update, delete
ADR-*.md docs/decisions/ create, update, delete
ADR-*.md architecture/decisions/ create, update, delete

Detection: from the skill directory, run python3 scripts/detect_adr_changes.py --base-path <repo-root>. From repo root, run .claude/skills/adr-review/scripts/detect_adr_changes.py for the Claude skill tree or src/copilot-cli/skills/adr-review/scripts/detect_adr_changes.py for the Copilot CLI mirror.

When to Use

MANDATORY Triggers (automatic):

  • Architect creates or updates an ADR
  • ANY agent modifies .agents/architecture/ADR-*.md, docs/adr/ADR-*.md, docs/architecture/ADR-*.md, docs/decisions/ADR-*.md, or architecture/decisions/ADR-*.md

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.
