What it does

Decision Records is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Draft, promote, archive, and supersede ADR-style decision records (types are open: architecture, product, security, policy, legal, …) and keep INDEX.md and cross-links generated, via the bundled scripts/decisions.py tool. Use when creating or promoting decision drafts, superseding or archiving a decision, fixing a promotion breach, or running build, check, promote, rename-draft-id, or install.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/promotion.md`, `scripts/decisions.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Promoting decision drafts
  • Archiving a decision
  • Fixing a promotion breach
  • Rename-draft-id

Example prompts

  • “/decision-records”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Decision Records loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 826 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 826 words (~1,900 tokens).

“This skill owns the registry tool decisions.py, symlinked into the repo at scripts/decisions.py (run decisions.py install to set up the symlink + a CI check). The tool finds the repo's docs/ by walking up from the CWD, so run it…”
