Bootstrap an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) system in any project — creates an ADR directory with a template and a seed ADR-0001, scaffolds an ARCHITECTURE.md recap doc, and injects a when-to-create-an-ADR policy into AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md. Use when setting up ADRs, adding architecture decision records, scaffolding ADR tracking, initializing decision logging, or the user mentions "setup adrs". Do NOT use to write or fill in a single ADR for one specific decision (just copy the template), to set up changelogs or PRDs, or to record non-architectural product decisions.

From the source SKILL.md

Set up an Architecture Decision Record system in any project. Each meaningful technical decision gets a numbered, version-controlled record in docs/adr/, and an ARCHITECTURE.md recap doc keeps the current-state overview. ADRs inject judgment by example — future agent sessions read them, stay true to past choices, and supersede what's stale.

What this skill does

Setup Adrs is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the scaffolders sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/setup-adrs/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
