About documentation-and-adrs

Records decisions and documentation
documentation-and-adrs is an agent skill from Addy Osmani's agent-skills collection for recording decisions and the reasoning behind them. Its principle is to document decisions, not just code. Code shows what was built, but the most valuable documentation captures why it was built that way: the context, the constraints, the trade-offs and the alternatives that were considered. The skill covers Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for significant architectural decisions, and documentation for choosing between competing approaches, adding or changing a public API, shipping a user-facing change, onboarding new team members or agents, and the points where the same explanation keeps being repeated. It also sets limits: do not document obvious code, do not add comments that restate the code, and do not write docs for throwaway prototypes. The skill is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there. It suits teams that want a record of their decisions that future engineers and agents can read when they work in the codebase, rather than reconstructing the reasoning later.
