Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill adr-verify
  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-verify automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

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

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

ADR Verify

Companion to adr-index. After import, reads the persisted graph and surfaces integrity issues:

  • Dangling refs — edge points at an ADR ID that doesn't exist in adr-patterns. Common cause: the referenced ADR is in a sibling repo or got deleted.
  • Supersede cycles — ADR-A supersedes ADR-B and ADR-B supersedes ADR-A (or longer cycles). Always data corruption.
  • Status mismatches — an ADR is the source of a supersedes edge but its own status isn't Superseded. Usually a missed status update during a successor ADR's promotion.

What this skill cannot catch: an adr-patterns row for an ADR that was deleted from disk and has zero edges referencing it or from it — invisible to every check above (issue #2666). If the reported ADR count looks higher than what's actually on disk, run adr-reindex, not adr-verify again.

When to use

  • Right after adr-index to confirm the graph is healthy
  • In CI as a fail-closed gate (VERIFY_STRICT=1 exits 1 on any issue)
  • Before publishing an ADR-related release

Steps

node plugins/ruflo-adr/scripts/verify.mjs

Optional env:

  • VERIFY_FORMAT=json — JSON instead of markdown
  • VERIFY_STRICT=1 — exit 1 on ANY issue (default: only on cycles)

Exit codes

CodeMeaning
0Graph healthy (or dangling refs / status mismatches present in non-strict mode)
1Supersede cycle detected, OR strict mode + any issue present

Cross-references

  • adr-index — populates the data this skill verifies
  • scripts/import.mjs — has its own dry-run validation; this skill is the read-back companion
  • adr-reindex — reconciles a deleted ADR that adr-verify cannot detect
