The project's own ADRs record a March 2024 decision to rewrite adr-tools in Rust while keeping feature equivalence and compatibility goals. ### Adoption history The README documents installation through Homebrew, Cargo, Docker, and binary releases, placing adrs in the Rust CLI and package-manager ecosystem rather than only as a source checkout. ### How it is used Users initialize an ADR repository, create decisions, list and search records, update status, link ADRs, generate documentation, and export or import JSON-ADR data. ### Why package nerds care Package users care because it bridges a long-running shell-script ADR tool culture with a packaged Rust binary, while keeping common ADR repository layouts and adding docs generation and MCP integration. ### Timeline - 2021: GitHub repository created. - 2024: Project ADR accepts rewriting adr-tools in Rust. - 2024: v0.2.1 appears in GitHub releases. - 2026: v0.8.0 appears in GitHub releases. ### Related projects - adr-tools, MADR, JSON-ADR, adrs-core ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for adrs. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ./adrs.toml, ./.adr-dir, ~/.config/adrs/config.toml ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** adrs - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - adrs: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ad/adrs/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [MCP tool packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/mcp-tools/) - Mentions MCP or Model Context Protocol. - [AI and agent packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/ai-agent-tools/) - Matched AI model, agent, coding-agent, orchestration, or MCP metadata. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [adr-tools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/adr-tools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: adr, cli, developer-tools, documentation. - [adr-viewer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/adr-viewer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: adr, cli, developer-tools, documentation. - [cargo-docset](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cargo-docset/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, documentation, rust. - [cargo-spellcheck](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cargo-spellcheck/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, documentation, rust. - [mdbook](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mdbook/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, documentation, rust. - [mdsh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mdsh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, documentation, rust. - [tealdeer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tealdeer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, documentation, rust. - [action-docs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/action-docs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, documentation. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
