succinctly: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/review-adr/SKILL.md

review-adr is a skill for Claude Code from rust-works/succinctly. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,700 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for reviewing Architecture Decision Records, written documents that explain important technical choices and their reasoning. It checks their structure, project conventions, decision quality, and implementation details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review one ADR, every ADR in a project, or a proposed ADR taken from an issue.
Why use it?
It helps find missing context, unsupported decisions, and documentation that does not follow the project’s standards.

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

review-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 3d 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 Review Skill

Review one or more Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) across four dimensions: structural accuracy, project conformance, decision quality, and implementation quality.

Step 0: Determine What to Review

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the review mode:

Argument Action
A number (5, 05, 0005) Review docs/adrs/adr-NNNN.md in the current project
A filename or path Review that specific ADR file
all Review every adr-*.md in docs/adrs/
issue or a GitHub issue URL Review a proposed ADR pasted or fetched from the issue
No argument or an ADR in the chat Ask the user what to review, or use the ADR already in context

If the argument is a GitHub issue URL, use gh issue view <number> --repo <owner/repo> to fetch the issue body, then extract the ADR text from it.

Step 1: Load the ADR Standard

Read the project's foundational ADR to understand the expected format and conventions:

  1. Look for docs/adrs/adr-0000.md in the current working directory.
  2. If found, read it — it is the project's authoritative definition of ADR structure, purpose, naming, and storage conventions.
  3. If not found, fall back to the Michael Nygard baseline:
    • Title — short noun phrase, ADR-NNNN: <title>
    • Status — one of Proposed / Accepted / Deprecated / Superseded
    • Context — the forces at play; why a decision was needed
    • Decision — active voice ("We will ..."); the response to those forces
    • Consequences — positive, negative, and neutral outcomes
    • Stored in version control alongside the code; one decision per record; 1–2 pages

Step 2: Load the ADR(s) to Review

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.
