Command definition
adr-status.mddescription: Report the health of Architecture Decision Records — aged, unchallenged, supersession candidates, unresolved CONFIRM-NN. Read-only. argument-hint: (none) | --adr N
{{CMD: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_DIR}}/.codearbiter/decisions/`.
Routes to
The `decision-lifecycle` skill (`{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/skills/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 → `{{CMD:adr}}`.
- Challenge or reconcile a specific ADR in depth → `{{CMD:reconcile}}`.
- Ask what a specific ADR says → `{{CMD: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 `{{CMD:conflict}}`.
When you can't trust yourself with your code base, trust Arbiter.
