Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill adr-create
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads adr-create automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Create ADR

Create a new Architecture Decision Record with the next sequential number, register it in the AgentDB graph, and link it to related ADRs.

When to use

When a significant architectural decision needs to be recorded -- new technology adoption, API design choices, data model changes, infrastructure decisions, or any cross-cutting concern that affects multiple components.

Steps

  1. Find next number -- Glob for docs/adr/ADR-*.md and parse existing numbers to determine the next sequential ID (ADR-001, ADR-002, etc.). Create docs/adr/ if it does not exist.

  2. Slugify title -- Convert the title argument to a lowercase, hyphen-separated slug (e.g., "Use PostgreSQL for persistence" becomes use-postgresql-for-persistence).

  3. Create ADR file -- Write the file at docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md using the standard template:

    # ADR-NNN: <Title>

- **Status**: proposed
- **Date**: <today's date YYYY-MM-DD>
- **Deciders**: <leave blank for author to fill>
- **Tags**: <leave blank>

## Context

<!-- What is the issue that motivates this decision? -->

## Decision

<!-- What is the change that we are proposing? -->

## Consequences

### Positive
-

### Negative
-

### Neutral
-

## Links

  4. Store in AgentDB -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store with:

    • key: mem:ADR-NNN
    • tier: semantic
    • value: a JSON-encoded string: { "id": "ADR-NNN", "title": "<title>", "status": "proposed", "date": "<today>", "file": "docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md" }

  5. Find related ADRs -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search with the title as query in namespace adr-patterns to find related decisions. If matches are found, add them to the Links section and call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge for each relationship with:

    • sourceId: mem:ADR-NNN
    • targetId: mem:ADR-RELATED
    • relation: depends-on

  6. Store pattern -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store in namespace adr-patterns with key ADR-NNN and the title + context as value for future semantic search.

  7. Report -- Output the created file path, ADR number, and any related ADRs found.
