What it does

Adr Create is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Create a new Architecture Decision Record with sequential numbering and AgentDB registration

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records

Example prompts

  • “/adr-create”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-query, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search, Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find next number -- Glob for docs/adr/ADR-*.md and parse existing numbers to determine the next sequential ID (ADR-001, ADR-002, etc.)…
  2. Slugify title -- Convert the title argument to a lowercase, hyphen-separated slug (e.g., "Use PostgreSQL for persistence" becomes…
  3. Create ADR file -- Write the file at docs/adr/ADR-NNN-.md using the standard template
  4. Store in AgentDB -- Call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_hierarchical-store with
  5. Find related ADRs -- Call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflomemory_search with the title as query in namespace adr-patterns to find related…
  6. Store pattern -- Call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflomemory_store in namespace adr-patterns with key ADR-NNN and the title + context as value…
  7. Report -- Output the created file path, ADR number, and any related ADRs found.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de590e1. 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:

    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-query
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search
    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    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 markdown).

    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

Adr Create loads about 680 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~680

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Create ADR

Create a new Architecture Decision Record with the next sequential number, register it in the AgentDB graph, and link it to related ADRs.

When to use

When a significant architectural decision needs to be recorded -- new technology adoption, API design choices, data model changes, infrastructure decisions, or any cross-cutting concern that affects multiple components.

Steps

  1. Find next number -- Glob for docs/adr/ADR-*.md and parse existing numbers to determine the next sequential ID (ADR-001, ADR-002, etc.). Create docs/adr/ if it does not exist.

  2. Slugify title -- Convert the title argument to a lowercase, hyphen-separated slug (e.g., "Use PostgreSQL for persistence" becomes use-postgresql-for-persistence).

  3. Create ADR file -- Write the file at docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md using the standard template:

    markdown
    # ADR-NNN: <Title>
    
    - **Status**: proposed
    - **Date**: <today's date YYYY-MM-DD>
    - **Deciders**: <leave blank for author to fill>
    - **Tags**: <leave blank>
    
    ## Context
    
    <!-- What is the issue that motivates this decision? -->
    
    ## Decision
    
    <!-- What is the change that we are proposing? -->
    
    ## Consequences
    
    ### Positive
    -
    
    ### Negative
    -
    
    ### Neutral
    -
    
    ## Links
  4. Store in AgentDB -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store with:

    • key: mem:ADR-NNN
    • tier: semantic
    • value: a JSON-encoded string: { "id": "ADR-NNN", "title": "<title>", "status": "proposed", "date": "<today>", "file": "docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md" }
  5. Find related ADRs -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search with the title as query in namespace adr-patterns to find related decisions. If matches are found, add them to the Links section and call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge for each relationship with:

    • sourceId: mem:ADR-NNN
    • targetId: mem:ADR-RELATED
    • relation: depends-on
  6. Store pattern -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store in namespace adr-patterns with key ADR-NNN and the title + context as value for future semantic search.

  7. Report -- Output the created file path, ADR number, and any related ADRs found.

Can I use Adr Create in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill adr-create -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/adr-create, .gemini/skills/adr-create, .github/skills/adr-create and .opencode/skills/adr-create in your project.

What does Adr Create need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Adr Create is instructions for the agent only.
