How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 12 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 19
Ensure the ADR references related domain models, system constraints, or performance requirements.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 12 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Write ADR Skill
Intent
Enforce structured architectural decision-making by documenting the context, rationale, alternatives considered, and consequences of critical technical choices before implementation.
Obligations
- Standardized Structure:
- Structure the ADR following the standard format: Status, Context, Decision, Consequences, and Alternatives Considered.
- Trade-off Analysis:
- Explicitly document why a specific technology, design pattern, or architectural boundary was chosen over viable alternatives (pros and cons).
- Traceability:
- Ensure the ADR references related domain models, system constraints, or performance requirements.
How to verify
- The generated ADR file contains all required sections with clear, objective justifications.
- Alternatives are explicitly evaluated rather than dismissed arbitrarily.
Antipatterns (Do NOT do)
- Writing vague decisions without documenting the underlying context or problem being solved.
- Omitting negative consequences or technical debt introduced by the decision.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
