How do I create an ADR spike?
Create Adr Spike guides you through a structured five-phase process to evaluate technical alternatives and formalize architectural choices. The skill walks you through Research, Analysis, Decision, Documentation, and Memory Storage phases, managing the full ADR lifecycle with proper numbering and integration of external research tools.
What is an ADR spike and how does it work?
Create Adr Spike implements an architecture decision record spike—a focused exploration of technical alternatives. The skill manages the complete lifecycle: it researches options, analyzes trade-offs, documents decisions, and persists them to a memory graph for future reference. This ensures architectural choices are formally recorded and retrievable.
Can Create Adr Spike automate ADR spike creation workflow?
Yes, Create Adr Spike automates the ADR spike creation workflow by handling the five-phase process end-to-end. It manages proper numbering, integrates external research tools, and automatically persists decisions to a memory graph, reducing manual overhead in documenting architectural decisions.
Does Create Adr Spike provide an ADR spike template?
Create Adr Spike generates ADR spike documentation and structure as part of its five-phase process. It handles the Documentation phase to ensure your architectural decisions are properly formatted and stored, with integration into a memory graph for persistence and future retrieval.
How do I set up an architecture decision record spike project?
Create Adr Spike sets up an architecture decision record spike project by guiding you through Research, Analysis, Decision, Documentation, and Memory Storage phases. The skill manages numbering, integrates research tools, and handles persistence to a memory graph, enabling you to systematically explore and formalize architectural decisions.

This skill streamlines creation and organization of temporary project work products like architecture decision records, research investigations, spike analyses, and implementation plans. It provides templated Python scripts, standardized naming conventions, and a date-based directory structure within `.claude/artifacts/` to keep artifacts organized and discoverable.
Documentation Criteria provides decision matrices and templates to identify which technical documents your feature or change requires. Use it to navigate PRD, ADR, UI Spec, Design Doc, and Work Plan creation based on scope, complexity, and architectural impact.
This skill provides templates and guidance for creating Architecture Decision Records—lightweight documents that preserve the reasoning behind major technical choices. It walks you through the Nygard format, covering context, decision, consequences, and alternatives, plus best practices for lifecycle management and team review. Use it when evaluating trade-offs or recording decisions that shape your system's future.
Create and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs) using established conventions, templates, and a built-in validator. The skill guides you through prospective and retrospective record creation, enforces quality standards like one decision per record and credible alternatives, and helps manage decision lifecycles with status tracking and supersession links. Use it to build a durable, reviewable record of why architecturally significant choices were made.
Util Manage Todo tracks multi-step work in todo.md files with state indicators (pending, in progress, completed) and enforces integration verification through creation, connection, and runtime proof phases. Claude proactively creates todos when detecting complex work, coordinates task states across sessions, and ensures refactors include architectural decision records.
This skill produces structured technical documentation across four types: architectural decision records for design choices, system overviews for onboarding, API references for integrations, and operational runbooks for procedures. It enforces anti-patterns like documentation drift and future fiction while matching detail to audience—from high-level concepts for new developers to procedural steps for operations teams.
