Review an ExStruct ADR draft for required sections, status values, evidence quality, supersede links, and balanced consequences. Use when an ADR already exists in draft form and you need findings before review or merge.
Use ExStruct CLI to validate, inspect, create, and edit Excel workbooks safely. Trigger when an agent needs `exstruct patch`, `exstruct make`, `exstruct validate`, `exstruct ops list`, or `exstruct ops describe`, especially for create-vs-edit decisions, dry-run workflows, backend constraints, or safe workbook-edit guidance.
Maintain ExStruct ADR index artifacts by scanning ADR files and synchronizing README, index.yaml, and decision-map.md metadata. Use when ADRs are added, updated, superseded, or reclassified and the repository needs a refreshed ADR map for humans and AI agents.
Audit ExStruct ADRs against current specs, tests, and source code to detect policy drift, missing ADR updates, stale references, and evidence gaps. Use after merges, during periodic ADR audits, or when a review suspects that implementation and ADRs have diverged.
Draft a new ExStruct ADR or propose an update to an existing ADR from an issue, PR, diff, tests, and specs. Use when an ADR is required or recommended and you need a structured draft with context, decision, consequences, and evidence.
Determine whether a change in ExStruct needs an ADR, using repository-specific governance and criteria. Use when reading an issue, PR, review thread, or diff and you need a verdict of required, recommended, or not-needed, plus candidate ADR titles and related existing ADRs.
