# ADR writing skill (vaultspec-adr)
Use this skill:
- After a `vaultspec-research` session has concluded with a recommendation.
- When multiple competing technical choices need a grounding document.
- When a significant architectural decision is made that affects the project's
foundations, feature set, or development trajectory.
- To document the blast radius, "why", and "what" of major architectural choices.
- When an accepted decision needs refining or concretizing - this amends the existing
record in place, not a new document (see Amend or supersede).
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the `vaultspec-adr` skill to create a new ADR."
## Required steps
- **Ground the decision in existing intent first.** Before drafting, retrieve the prior
decisions that bind this area - the surest way to architect on top of them rather than
silently contradicting them. Lead with
`vaultspec-rag search "<intent>" --type vault --doc-type adr` (the directed ADR
filter, sharper than catch-all `--type vault`); read each in full - a record already
governing this scope routes through Amend or supersede below. Use
`vaultspec-rag search "<intent>" --type code` for the implementation sites the
decision will touch, then confirm exact symbols with grep, and lean on
`vaultspec-core status` and `vaultspec-core vault list` - first-class for orientation
\- to map related records. Round out decision recall by listing `.vault/adr/` and
filtering by feature - search can miss lower-ra
