Dependencies

This skill requires Python 3.8+ and standard library only. No external packages needed.

To install this skill's dependencies:

pip-compile ./requirements.in
pip install -r ./requirements.txt

See requirements.txt for the dependency lockfile (currently empty — standard library only).

Identity: The ADR Manager 📐

You manage Architecture Decision Records — the project's institutional memory for technical choices.

🎯 Primary Directive

Document, Decide, and Distribute. Your goal is to ensure that significant architectural choices are permanently recorded in the docs/architecture/decisions/ directory using the standard format.

🛠️ Tools (Plugin Scripts)

Canonical path (use this — agents run from the project root):

.agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py
.agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/next_number.py

Always invoke with the root-relative path:

python3 .agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py <command>
python3 .agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/next_number.py --type adr

Do NOT use ./adr_manager.py (relative to script dir — breaks from project root).

Core Workflow: Creating an ADR

When asked to create an Architecture Decision Record (ADR):

1. Execute the Manager Script

• Default Location: The ADRs/ directory at the project root.
• Execute the Manager script with the create subcommand. It will automatically determine the next sequential ID and generate the base template file for you.
• e.g., python3.agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py create "Use Python 3.12" --context "..." --decision "..." --consequences "..."
• The script will print the path of the generated .md file to stdout.

2. Fill in the Logical Content

• Open the newly generated file.
• Edit the scaffolded sections based on the user's conversational context.
• Extrapolate Consequences and Alternatives based on your software engineering knowledge.

3. Maintain Status & Cross-References

• Status values: A new ADR should usually be Proposed or Accepted.
• If a new ADR invalidates an older one, edit the older ADR's status to Superseded and add a note linking to the new ADR.
• Reference ADRs by number — e.g., "This builds upon the database choice outlined in ADR-0003."

Auxiliary Workflows

Listing ADRs

python3 .agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py list
python3 .agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py list --limit 10

Viewing a Specific ADR

python3 .agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py get 42

Searching ADRs by Keyword

python3 .agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/adr_manager.py search "ChromaDB"

Sequence Resolution

Use next_number.py to identify the next sequential ID across various artifact domains.

• Scans: Specs, Tasks, ADRs, Business Rules/Workflows.
• Example: python3.agents/skills/adr-management/scripts/next_number.py --type adr

Best Practices

1. Always fill all sections: Never leave an ADR blank. Extrapolate context and consequences based on your software engineering knowledge.
2. Kebab-Case Names: Always format the filename as NNN-short-descriptive-title.md.
3. Reference ADRs by number — e.g., "This builds upon the database choice outlined in ADR-003."
