documentation-and-adrs

documentation-and-adrs is a skill for Claude Code from thiientv/godmode. It costs 62 tokens per session (335 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and updating engineering documentation and architecture decision records. An architecture decision record is a short record of an important technical choice, its reasons, alternatives, and consequences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for README files, design documents, runbooks, decision records, migration notes, contributor guides, and other documentation that must reflect the repository’s actual behavior.
Why use it?
It turns repository facts and verified commands into documentation that future developers can use. It also helps keep assumptions, version-specific details, links, and unresolved decisions clear and honest.

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

documentation-and-adrs 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Documentation and ADRs

Document the decision a future maintainer needs, not the whole conversation.

Documentation workflow

  1. Identify the reader, decision or task, freshness owner, and expected action.
  2. Inspect the source of truth, commands, configuration, and current behavior.
  3. Separate facts, assumptions, examples, and recommendations. Mark version or environment-specific statements.
  4. Put the shortest usable path first; move exhaustive details to a linked reference.
  5. Test every command, code sample, relative link, and stated file path that the environment permits.

ADR workflow

Use an ADR when a choice affects interfaces, architecture, data, operations, security, or future contributors. Record context, decision, alternatives, consequences, rejected options, migration/rollback, and status. Do not use an ADR to hide an unresolved decision; mark it proposed or superseded honestly.

Read adr-template.md. Keep README content as a front door and link to deeper docs; avoid stale feature walls and hardcoded claims that the repository cannot verify.

Completion condition

The intended reader can act from the document, links and examples resolve, and the document's factual or verification limits are visible.

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.
