ADR Index

Build or rebuild the full ADR index and dependency graph in AgentDB from the docs/adr/ directory.

When to use

After importing ADRs from another project, when the AgentDB graph is out of sync, or when bootstrapping ADR tracking on an existing codebase that already has ADR files.

Steps

1. Scan directory -- Glob for docs/adr/ADR-*.md to find all ADR files. If no files found, report that no ADRs exist yet.

2. Parse each ADR -- Read each file and extract:

   • ID: from the filename (e.g., ADR-042 from ADR-042-use-postgres.md)
   • Title: from the # ADR-NNN: <Title> heading
   • Status: from the **Status**: line
   • Date: from the **Date**: line
   • Tags: from the **Tags**: line
   • Links: from the ## Links section (supersedes, amended-by, related)

3. Store in AgentDB -- For each ADR, call mcp__claude-flow__agentdb_hierarchical-store with:

   • path: adr/<adr-id>
   • value: { "id": "<id>", "title": "<title>", "status": "<status>", "date": "<date>", "tags": "<tags>", "file": "<filepath>" }

4. Build causal edges -- For each ADR with links:

   • "Supersedes ADR-XXX" -> mcp__claude-flow__agentdb_causal-edge with from: ADR-XXX, to: <current>, relation: supersedes
   • "Amended by ADR-YYY" -> mcp__claude-flow__agentdb_causal-edge with from: <current>, to: ADR-YYY, relation: amends
   • "Related: ADR-ZZZ" -> mcp__claude-flow__agentdb_causal-edge with from: <current>, to: ADR-ZZZ, relation: related
   • "Depends on ADR-WWW" -> mcp__claude-flow__agentdb_causal-edge with from: <current>, to: ADR-WWW, relation: depends-on

5. Store in memory -- For each ADR, call mcp__claude-flow__memory_store with:

   • namespace: adr-patterns
   • key: <adr-id>
   • value: <title> — <first paragraph of Context section> This enables semantic search across ADRs.

6. Verify graph -- Call mcp__claude-flow__agentdb_causal-query to retrieve all edges and verify:

   • No dangling references (edges pointing to non-existent ADRs)
   • No circular supersedes chains
   • All superseded ADRs have status "superseded"

7. Report -- Output a summary:
