4 sections, as written by the author/ca-adr-status — ADR health scan
Survey the health of recorded ADRs. Read-only — no file is modified. With --adr N the scan focuses
on a single ADR; with no argument it scans every ADR under
<project-root>/.codearbiter/decisions/.
Routes to
The decision-lifecycle skill (<plugin-root>/routines/decision-lifecycle/SKILL.md) in its
health-scan mode. For each ADR it flags: aged decisions, proposed ADRs never challenged,
supersession candidates (a newer ADR or code pattern contradicts the decision), and unresolved
[CONFIRM-NN] placeholders. Findings aggregate into a structured report; nothing is changed.
When NOT to use
- Author a new ADR →
/ca-adr. - Challenge or reconcile a specific ADR in depth →
/ca-reconcile. - Ask what a specific ADR says →
/ca-btw.
Hard gate
Read-only — MUST NOT modify any file. MUST NOT resolve a [CONFIRM-NN] found during the scan —
surface it and stop. A supersession candidate that contradicts an accepted ADR is flagged for
/ca-conflict.

Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
Intelligently organizes your files and folders across your computer by understanding context, finding duplicates, suggesting better structures, and automating cleanup tasks. Reduces cognitive load and keeps your digital workspace tidy without manual effort.
Generates creative domain name ideas for your project and checks availability across multiple TLDs (.com, .io, .dev, .ai, etc.). Saves hours of brainstorming and manual checking.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
Comprehensive GitHub project management with swarm-coordinated issue tracking, project board automation, and sprint planning
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
