# ADR Review
Review code changes against accepted Architecture Decision Records to detect violations, drift, and non-compliance.
## When to use
Before merging a PR, after significant code changes, or as part of a periodic compliance check. Use this to ensure code changes respect the architectural decisions the team has agreed upon.
## Steps
1. **Get diff** -- Run `git diff main...HEAD --name-only` (or the specified branch) to list changed files. Then run `git diff main...HEAD` to get the full diff content.
2. **Find relevant ADRs** -- For each changed file:
- `Grep` the file for ADR references (`ADR-\d+`)
- `Grep` `docs/adr/` for ADRs that mention the changed file paths or modules
- Call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search` with the file path and change summary to find semantically related ADRs
3. **Load ADR content** -- `Read` each relevant ADR file. Focus on:
- The **Decision** section (what was decided)
- The **Status** (only enforce "accepted" ADRs)
- The **Consequences** (expected constraints)
4. **Check for violations** -- Analyze each changed file against its relevant ADRs:
- Does the code change contradict an accepted decision?
- Does it use a technology/pattern that an ADR explicitly rejected?
- Does it modify a module in a way the ADR's consequences warned against?
- Is the code referencing a deprecated or superseded ADR?
5. **Query relationship graph** -- Call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-query` to check if any referenced ADRs have been superseded. If so, flag that the code references an outdated decision.
6. **Report** -- Present findings as a compliance report:
```
## ADR Compliance Report
### Violations
- [ ] <file>:<line> — violates ADR-NNN: <reason>
### Warnings
- [!] <file> references superseded ADR-NNN (replaced by ADR-MMM)
### Compliant
- [x] <file> — consistent with ADR-NNN
### Unlinked Changes
- [?] <file> — no ADR coverage (consider creating one)
```
7. **Suggest actions** -- For each violation, suggest whether to update the code or propose a new ADR to supersede the violated one.
