- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
This skill is a diagnostic utility for verifying the integrity of Architectural Decision Record (ADR) graphs. It checks for dangling references, supersede cycles, and status mismatches by executing a local Node.js script. No malicious behavior or security vulnerabilities were detected.

What does this agent skill do?
ADR Verify
Companion to adr-index. After import, reads the persisted graph and surfaces integrity issues:
- Dangling refs — edge points at an ADR ID that doesn't exist in
adr-patterns. Common cause: the referenced ADR is in a sibling repo or got deleted. - Supersede cycles —
ADR-A supersedes ADR-BandADR-B supersedes ADR-A(or longer cycles). Always data corruption. - Status mismatches — an ADR is the source of a
supersedesedge but its own status isn'tSuperseded. Usually a missed status update during a successor ADR's promotion.
What this skill cannot catch: an adr-patterns row for an ADR that was deleted from disk and has zero edges referencing it or from it — invisible to every check above (issue #2666). If the reported ADR count looks higher than what's actually on disk, run adr-reindex, not adr-verify again.
When to use
- Right after
adr-indexto confirm the graph is healthy - In CI as a fail-closed gate (
VERIFY_STRICT=1exits 1 on any issue) - Before publishing an ADR-related release
Steps
node plugins/ruflo-adr/scripts/verify.mjs
Optional env:
VERIFY_FORMAT=json— JSON instead of markdownVERIFY_STRICT=1— exit 1 on ANY issue (default: only on cycles)
Exit codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 | Graph healthy (or dangling refs / status mismatches present in non-strict mode) |
1 | Supersede cycle detected, OR strict mode + any issue present |
