Automated summary
Creates and updates Architecture Decision Records (ADR) to document significant architectural decisions for the ABIOGENESIS project.
Strengths
- Clear structure with a predefined template (ADR-XXX) and step-by-step instructions.
- Includes an index and checklist to ensure completeness.
- Guidance on when to create an ADR (framework, database, refactoring) and when to skip.
- Supports status updates and cross-referencing.
Limitations
- Specific to the ABIOGENESIS project (`docs/architecture/` directory).
- Requires prior knowledge of ADR format for optimal use.
- File numbering must be done manually (no auto-increment).
Use this skill when you need to record a major architectural decision (framework choice, database, integration pattern) within the project.
Avoid using it for minor fixes, incremental improvements, or decisions that have no lasting architectural impact.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only includes safe bash commands (ls and cp) for listing and copying ADR template files. No destructive, obfuscated, or exfiltrating actions are present.

How this analysis is madeExamples
Create a new ADR for our decision to adopt PostgreSQL as the primary database for ABIOGENESIS. Use the ADR template from the skill and suggest the next ADR number based on existing records.Update ADR-002 (Scarlet Setup) status to 'Accepted' and add a 'Last Updated' date of today. Also check the checklist to ensure all sections are filled.List all Architecture Decision Records in the ABIOGENESIS project and show their statuses in a table.name: adr description: Create and update Architecture Decision Records for ABIOGENESIS
ADR (Architecture Decision Record) Skill
Purpose
Maintain architectural documentation using the ADR format for significant decisions.
When to Create an ADR
Create an ADR when decisions involve:
- Framework or tool selection (e.g., Letta adoption)
- Database or storage choices
- Integration patterns
- Major refactoring
- Technology stack changes
Small fixes and incremental improvements don't need ADRs.
ADR Template
See docs/architecture/adr-template.md for the full template, but use this structure:
# ADR-XXX: Descriptive Title
**Status**: [Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Rejected]
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Author**: Claude Code
## Context
[Why do we need to make this decision?]
## Decision
[What have we decided to do?]
## Consequences
### Positive
- [Benefits]
### Negative
- [Drawbacks]
### Neutral
- [Trade-offs]
## Alternatives Considered
- [Option]: Why rejected
## References
- [Links]
Usage
Create new ADR
# Check next number
ls docs/architecture/adr-*.md | sort
# Copy template
cp docs/architecture/adr-template.md docs/architecture/adr-XXX-title.md
Update Status
When implementing or deprecating:
- Open the ADR
- Change Status header
- Add Last Updated date
ADR Index
| Number | Title | Status | |--------|-------|--------| | ADR-001 | Letta Framework Adoption | Accepted | | ADR-002 | Scarlet Setup (Foundation + Embeddings) | Accepted |

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t/download' --output '.skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t'openskills read 'architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/architecture-decision-records-adr-mm5t897t/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
