What it does

Mpm Adr is an agent skill from bobmatnyc/claude-mpm. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — opt-in convention for documenting significant, hard-to-reverse architectural decisions using the Nygard template.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records. The repository describes itself as: Claude Multi-Agent Project Manager — multi-channel orchestration, GitHub-first SDK mode, and plugin system for Claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records

Example prompts

  • “/mpm-adr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Architecturally significant — the decision shapes how major parts of the system are structured, constrain future options, or affect…
  2. Costly to reverse — undoing or changing the decision later would require substantial rework, data migration, or coordination.
  3. Not obvious from the code — the rationale is not apparent from reading the implementation alone.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25203d3. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.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

Mpm Adr loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 515 words (~1,307 tokens).

“Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) are short, structured documents that capture why a significant architectural decision was made — not just what was decided. They live alongside the code so future contributors understand the constraints and trade-offs that shaped the system.”
