What it does

Consulting Adrs is an agent skill from bitwarden/ai-plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Check a design, change, pull request, plan, or threat model against Bitwarden's Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), or locate and summarize the ADR catalog. Use when assessing whether an approach conflicts with, is governed by, or lacks an accepted ADR, including reviewing a PR or diff for alignment with recorded architecture decisions, or when someone needs to find or summarize ADRs. Trigger phrases include "does this conflict with any of our ADRs", "check my PR against our architecture decisions", "is there…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/benchmark.json` and `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records. The repository describes itself as: AI plugin marketplace.

When your agent uses it

  • Assessing whether an approach conflicts with
  • Lacks an accepted ADR
  • Including reviewing a PR
  • Diff for alignment with recorded architecture decisions

Example prompts

  • “does this conflict with any of our ADRs”
  • “check my PR against our architecture decisions”
  • “is there an accepted ADR governing this”
  • “/consulting-adrs”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): WebFetch(domain:contributing.bitwarden.com), Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Map what the change touches (domain; new contract, field, trust boundary, dependency, or cross-client pattern). Search the ADR catalog for…
  2. Confirm each candidate ADR's status. Only Accepted binds. Follow Superseded to its replacement and evaluate that. Ignore Deprecated and…
  3. Classify each in-force ADR against the change

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e6bea3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • WebFetch(domain:contributing.bitwarden.com)
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • contributing.bitwarden.com

    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

Consulting Adrs loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 182 tokens; SKILL.md has 649 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~182
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 649 words (~1,447 tokens).

“Check the design, diff, plan, or threat model under review against Bitwarden's Architecture Decision Records. Return findings; the caller decides what to do with them.”
