Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned codenamev/ai-software-architect at 6fa14f3448.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The codenamev-create-adr skill generates Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). ADRs are text files that capture important decisions made during software development, including context and consequences. This skill helps standardize documentation of architectural choices, making them easily discoverable and understandable for the team. It aims to improve maintainability and reduce misunderstandings related to design decisions.

When to use it

  • Documenting a new technology choice: Before committing to a specific framework or library, capture the reasoning behind your selection.
  • Resolving architectural debates: Formalize discussions and outcomes regarding different approaches to a problem.
  • Onboarding new team members: Provide clear explanations of past decisions and their rationale.
  • Reviewing existing architecture: Create ADRs for previously made design choices that lack documentation.

Key capabilities

  • Generates ADR files in markdown format.
  • Captures context, decision, and consequences related to architectural choices.
  • Standardizes the documentation of architectural decisions.

Example prompts

  • "Create an ADR about choosing React for the frontend."
  • "Generate a record documenting our decision to use GraphQL instead of REST."
  • "Write an ADR explaining why we opted for microservices architecture."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill is most effective when used proactively, before significant architectural decisions are made.
  • While the skill generates the structure, you'll need to provide specific details and reasoning related to your decision.
