15
+ # adr-create
16
+
17
+ ## When to use
18
+
19
+ Use this skill when:
20
+
21
+ - A non-trivial architectural choice needs a written record (kernel
22
+ membership, cap raises, contract changes, library swap, deprecation).
23
+ - A decision overrides a previous one and needs `supersedes:` linkage.
24
+ - A roadmap phase closes and the chosen variant must be cited.
25
+ - The user says "write an ADR for X", "decision log this", "we need
26
+ a record of why we picked Y".
27
+
28
+ Do NOT use when:
29
+
30
+ - The change is reversible without governance impact (typo, lint
31
+ fix, refactor that stays inside one module).
32
+ - The decision is already covered by an existing ADR — extend or
33
+ supersede it instead of duplicating.
34
+ - A skill, rule, or guideline is the better home (use those skills).
35
+
36
+ ## Goal
37
+
38
+ - Sequential `ADR-NNN-<slug>.md` numbering with no gaps.
39
+ - Standard template: Status, Context, Decision, Consequences,
40
+ Alternatives, References.
41
+ - Regenerated index so readers find the ADR by topic, not by ls.
42
+ - Zero MCP-tool dependency — pure filesystem + Python.
43
+
44
+ ## Preconditions
45
+
46
+ - An ADR directory exists (default `docs/adr/`; `docs/decisions/` is
47
+ the recognised alias used in this package and many older projects).
48
+ - The decision is **already made** — ADRs record outcomes, they do
49
+ not run the decision process. For unresolved trade-offs, run the
50
+ council or consult `adversarial-review` first.
51
+
52
+ ## Procedure
53
+
54
+ ### 1. Inspect and resolve the ADR directory
55
+
56
+ Identify the canonical directory in this order:
57
+
58
+ 1. `docs/adr/` — default per spec.
59
+ 2. `docs/decisions/` — accepted alias if `docs/adr/` is missing.
60
+ 3. Anything else — fail, ask the user to pick one of the two
61
+ canonical paths. Do not invent a third location.
62
+
63
+ ### 2. Pick the next ADR number
64
+
65
+ Scan the directory for `ADR-*.md`, parse the leading 3-digit number,
66
+ take `max + 1` (zero-padded). For an empty directory, start at `001`.
67
+ Reject re-use of an existing number — the index regenerator treats
68
+ duplicates as a hard failure.
69
+
70
+ ### 3. Pick a slug
71
+
72
+ Short, hyphen-lowercase, scope-revealing. Match peer ADRs in the
73
+ directory. Examples: `kernel-swap-deferred`, `flat-cluster-subs`,
74
+ `http-bridge-deferred-with-trigger`. Reject slugs longer than 60 chars.
75
+
76
+ ### 4. Author the ADR
77
+
78
+ Use the standard template (frontmatter + body). All sections are
79
+ required; "n/a" is acceptable for genuinely empty Alternatives or
80
+ References blocks but never for Status, Context, Decision, or
81
+ Consequences.
82
+
83
+ ```markdown
84
+ ---
85
+ adr: NNN
86
+ status: proposed | accepted | superseded | deprecated
87
+ date: YYYY-MM-DD
88
+ decision: <slug>
89
+ supersedes: — | ADR-MMM
90
+ superseded_by: — | ADR-MMM
91
+ phase: <roadmap> · <phase-id>
92
+ ---
93
+
94
+ # ADR-NNN — <Decision Title>
95
+
96
+ ## Status
97
+
98
+ **<Proposed | Accepted | …>** · YYYY-MM-DD.
99
+
100
+ ## Context
101
+
102
+ What problem forced this decision? What constraints applied? What
103
+ alternatives were on the table at decision time?
104
+
105
+ ## Decision
106
+
107
+ The chosen variant, in one paragraph. Concrete enough that a reader
108
+ six months later knows what was actually picked.
109
+
110
+ ## Consequences
111
+
112
+ ### Accepted
113
+
114
+ - Hard guarantees we now make.
115
+
116
+ ### Trade-offs
117
+
118
+ - What we gave up. Mitigations, if any.
119
+
120
+ ## Alternatives considered
121
+
122
+ - **Variant X — <name>.** Rejected because <reason>.
123
+ - **Variant Y — <name>.** Rejected because <reason>.
124
+
125
+ ## References
126
+
127
+ - Linked roadmap, contract, prior ADR, council session id.
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ ### 5. Regenerate the index
131
+
132
+ Run the dispatcher:
133
+
134
+ ```bash
135
+ python3 scripts/runtime_dispatcher.py run --skill adr-create
136
+ # or directly:
137
+ python3 scripts/adr/regenerate_index.py --dir docs/adr/
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ The script scans `ADR-*.md`, reads frontmatter (`adr`, `status`,
141
+ `date`, `decision`, `supersedes`), and writes `INDEX.md` with one
142
+ table row per ADR plus broken-supersede warnings on stderr.
143
+
144
+ ### 6. Validate
145
+
146
+ - `python3 scripts/adr/regenerate_index.py --check` exits 0
147
+ (index is up to date, no number gaps, no broken supersedes).
148
+ - The project's CI / quality pipeline passes locally.
149
+
150
+ ## Output format
151
+
152
+ 1. Path of the new `ADR-NNN-<slug>.md` file.
153
+ 2. Path of the regenerated `INDEX.md`.
154
+ 3. One-line summary of the decision.
155
+ 4. Linked roadmap or phase, if any.
156
+
157
+ ## Gotchas
158
+
159
+ - `docs/adr/` is the default path; some projects use
160
+ `docs/decisions/` (this package included). Pass `--dir` to the
161
+ index regenerator when running outside the default.
162
+ - Frontmatter `adr:` is the canonical number; the filename prefix
163
+ must match. The index regenerator fails on mismatch.
164
+ - ADRs are append-only history. To revise a decision, write a new
165
+ ADR with `supersedes: ADR-MMM` and flip the old one's status to
166
+ `superseded`.
167
+ - Never delete an ADR file — supersede it. Deletion breaks
168
+ historical links and round-trips through git history checks.
169
+
170
+ ## Frugality Standards
171
+
172
+ Apply the [Frugality Charter](../../contexts/contracts/frugality-charter.md)
173
+ to every ADR you author.
174
+
175
+ **Examples in this artifact:**
176
+ - Per the charter's default-terse rule, `## Context` states the
177
+ forcing function in 2–3 sentences; no historical narrative.
178
+ - Per the cite-don't-restate principle, `## Decision` links the
179
+ rules / contracts it overrides; no rule body is quoted in full.
180
+ - Per the cheap-question check, `## Alternatives considered` lists
181
+ genuine design alternatives, not strawmen.
182
+
183
+ **Pre-save self-check:**
184
+ 1. Does `## Context` carry more than 5 sentences of setup?
185
+ 2. Does `## Decision` restate rule text instead of citing the rule?
186
+ 3. Are alternatives evaluated with a real consequence each, or with
187
+ stylistic preference?
188
+ 4. Does the ADR forecast consequences with hedge phrases ("might",
189
+ "could potentially") instead of decidable claims?
190
+
191
+ ## Do NOT
192
+
193
+ - Skip Context — a decision without context is folklore.
194
+ - Reuse an existing ADR number — the index regenerator hard-fails.
195
+ - Author ADRs for reversible refactors or minor cleanups.
196
+ - Cite a council session id without ensuring the file is committed
197
+ or otherwise reachable from the repo (per `no-council-references`).

11
+ ## When to use
12
+
13
+ * Creating a new persona file in
14
+ `.agent-src.uncompressed/personas/{id}.md`
15
+ * Rewriting an existing persona (focus shift, output-expectation
16
+ change — not a typo fix)
17
+ * Deciding whether a new reviewer voice should be a persona at all
18
+ (vs. a skill of its own)
19
+
20
+ Do NOT use this skill when:
21
+
22
+ * The content is a multi-step workflow → use
23
+ [`skill-writing`](../skill-writing/SKILL.md)
24
+ * The content is a hard obligation the agent must always honor → use
25
+ [`rule-writing`](../rule-writing/SKILL.md)
26
+ * The content describes the project's role-mode contract → that lives
27
+ in `docs/contracts/role-contracts.md`, not in personas
28
+
29
+ ## Persona vs skill vs role-mode — critical test
30
+
31
+ | Intent | Artifact |
32
+ |---|---|
33
+ | "Agent should review through a specific lens" | **Persona** |
34
+ | "Agent should run a multi-step workflow" | **Skill** |
35
+ | "Agent's closing contract differs by role" | **Role-mode** (contract file) |
36
+
37
+ A persona is **passive reference content** — it never triggers by
38
+ description, never appears in `<available_skills>`. Skills cite
39
+ personas via the `personas:` frontmatter key.
40
+
41
+ ## Procedure
42
+
43
+ ### 0. Drafting protocol
44
+
45
+ Creating or materially rewriting a persona must go through
46
+ Understand → Research → Draft per the
47
+ [`artifact-drafting-protocol`](../../rules/artifact-drafting-protocol.md)
48
+ rule. Inspect existing personas under
49
+ `.agent-src.uncompressed/personas/` for overlap before writing a new
50
+ one.
51
+
52
+ ### 1. Decide focus, not topic
53
+
54
+ A persona owns **one focus**: automation-readiness, adversarial
55
+ challenge, product-owner priorities, etc. If the focus needs three
56
+ sentences, it is two personas.
57
+
58
+ ### 2. Draft the persona file
59
+
60
+ Required sections:
61
+
62
+ * `## Focus` — one paragraph, what this lens *cares about* and what
63
+ it *ignores*.
64
+ * `## Unique questions` — 4–7 questions only this persona would ask.
65
+ Each question must be decidable against the artifact under review.
66
+ * `## Output expectations` — what the persona produces (verdict
67
+ format, severity vocabulary, citation discipline).
68
+
69
+ Optional: `## Anti-patterns this persona catches` — concrete examples
70
+ the persona is calibrated to flag.
71
+
72
+ ### 3. Cite from at least one skill
73
+
74
+ A persona that is not cited by any skill via the `personas:`
75
+ frontmatter key is dead code. Either wire it into an existing skill
76
+ or do not ship it.
77
+
78
+ ## Frontmatter shape
79
+
80
+ ```yaml
81
+ ---
82
+ id: <kebab-case-id>
83
+ role: <Human-Readable Role>
84
+ description: "One sentence: what this voice catches that others miss."
85
+ tier: core | specialty
86
+ mode: developer | product-owner | qa | stakeholder | none
87
+ version: "1.0"
88
+ source: package
89
+ ---
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ The `mode:` field is advisory only — it suggests which role-mode the
93
+ persona pairs naturally with; it does not bind.
94
+
95
+ ## Output format
96
+
97
+ A single Markdown file at `.agent-src.uncompressed/personas/{id}.md`:
98
+
99
+ 1. Frontmatter (`id`, `role`, `description`, `tier`, `mode`,
100
+ `version`, `source`)
101
+ 2. `## Focus` — one paragraph, what the lens cares about and ignores
102
+ 3. `## Unique questions` — 4–7 decidable questions
103
+ 4. `## Output expectations` — verdict format, severity vocabulary
104
+
105
+ Length: ≤ 80 lines for a tier-core persona; longer signals the focus
106
+ is too broad.
107
+
108
+ ## Gotchas
109
+
110
+ - **Persona without a citing skill** — a persona that no skill
111
+ references via `personas:` never loads. Wire it in or do not ship.
112
+ - **Focus drift across rewrites** — adding "and also …" to `## Focus`
113
+ is the first symptom of a second persona hiding inside the first.
114
+ - **Vibe-based unique questions** — "Does this feel right?" cannot
115
+ be evaluated against the artifact. Replace with decidable triggers.
116
+ - **Restating role-mode contracts** — closing-contract obligations
117
+ belong in `docs/contracts/role-contracts.md`, not in the persona
118
+ body.
119
+
120
+ ## Frugality Standards
121
+
122
+ Apply the [Frugality Charter](../../contexts/contracts/frugality-charter.md)
123
+ to every persona you author.
124
+
125
+ **Examples in this artifact:**
126
+ - Per the charter's default-terse rule, `## Focus` opens with what
127
+ the persona cares about, not "This persona was created to…".
128
+ - Per the cite-don't-restate principle, link rules the persona
129
+ enforces; do not paste their text into the persona body.
130
+ - Per the cheap-question check, `## Unique questions` lists decidable
131
+ questions only — drop any that read like vibe checks.
132
+
133
+ **Pre-save self-check:**
134
+ 1. Does `## Focus` open with the lens, or with persona meta-narrative?
135
+ 2. Are unique questions decidable against the artifact alone?
136
+ 3. Are any questions duplicated from another persona?
137
+ 4. Is the persona cited by at least one skill via `personas:`?
138
+
139
+ ## Do NOT
140
+
141
+ * Author a persona that nobody cites.
142
+ * Restate Iron-Law text from rules inside `## Output expectations`.
143
+ * Use ALL-CAPS Iron-Law fenced blocks — those belong in rules on the
144
+ [`kernel-membership`](../../../docs/contracts/kernel-membership.md)
145
+ list.
146
+ * Ship a persona that overlaps an existing one's focus by more than
147
+ 50 % — merge instead.
