  • You need to generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for a Java project through an interactive
  • SKILL.md covers Constraints, When to use this skill, Workflow and Reference
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Conversational process that systematically gathers context

What it does

030 Architecture Adr General is an agent skill from jabrena/plinth. Use when you need to generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for a Java project through an interactive, conversational process that systematically gathers context, stakeholders, options, and outcomes to produce well-structured ADR documents. This should trigger for requests such as Generate ADR; Create Architecture Decision Record; Document architecture decision; Architecture Decision Record for Java. Part of Plinth Toolkit

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/030-architecture-adr-general.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records. It works with Java. The repository describes itself as: Plinth is an AI-native engineering toolkit for modern Java enterprise SDLC, built around reusable Commands, Agents, Skills, and MCP Servers. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for a Java project through an interactive
  • Conversational process that systematically gathers context
  • Outcomes to produce well-structured ADR documents
  • Requests such as Generate ADR

Example prompts

  • “/030-architecture-adr-general”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dca88dc. 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.

    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

030 Architecture Adr General loads about 751 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~751
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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.

Java ADR Generator with interactive conversational approach

Generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for Java projects through an interactive, conversational process that elicits the decision inputs needed for a well-structured ADR. This is an interactive SKILL. Use only the current conversation and repository files explicitly available in the current session; do not expose, persist, or reuse unrelated user/project context.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • ADR file storage configuration
  • Conversational information gathering: context, stakeholders, decision drivers, options with pros/cons, outcome, consequences
  • MADR template generation

Constraints

Handle ambiguity and blockers explicitly to avoid implicit assumptions.

  • EDGE CASE: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands
  • EDGE CASE: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance
  • EDGE CASE: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off

When to use this skill

  • Generate ADR
  • Create Architecture Decision Record
  • Document architecture decision
  • Architecture Decision Record for Java
  • Write ADR
  • Document technical decision
  • Architecture documentation
  • Record design decision
  • Technology choice documentation
  • Framework selection ADR
  • Database choice ADR
  • Architectural trade-offs
  • Technical alternatives evaluation
  • Why did we choose
  • Deployment strategy ADR
  • Infrastructure choice
  • Vendor selection ADR

Workflow

  1. Load ADR reference and elicit decision inputs

Load references/030-architecture-adr-general.md from this skill, then elicit stakeholders, decision drivers, options, and trade-offs through the current conversation only.

  1. Synthesize and confirm decision

Summarize recommended option, rationale, and consequences, and confirm alignment with the user before creating the ADR artifact.

  1. Generate ADR output

Create a MADR-style ADR document with the final decision, alternatives, consequences, and follow-up actions.
