What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps ensure that decisions and implementations align with established project rules, architecture decisions, and quality standards by providing easy access to governance documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextual Retrieval: Access project-specific rules, ADRs, and standards relevant to the current task.
  • Decision Support: Avoid reinventing standards or missing critical constraints before making planning or review decisions.
  • Use Case: Before implementing a new feature, use this Skill to query the "authentication standard" to ensure compliance with existing security policies.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve project governance documentation and ADRs during code review?

To retrieve project governance documentation and ADRs during code review, use the stratus MCP retrieve tool to query indexed files like .claude/rules/*.md and CLAUDE.md, ensuring compliance with established architecture decisions and quality standards.

What is an architecture decision record and when do I need to query it?

An architecture decision record (ADR) documents project rules and standards. You need to query ADRs during planning or review phases to verify that new feature implementations align with existing security policies and quality gate criteria.

Do I need pre-indexed governance documents to check project rules and standards?

Yes, you need pre-indexed governance documents such as .claude/rules/*.md, CLAUDE.md files, ADRs, and quality gate criteria indexed in the stratus MCP system to enable contextual retrieval for compliance checks.

Can I query specific standards like an authentication policy before implementing a feature?

Yes, you can query specific project standards like an authentication policy before implementation. The Skill retrieves relevant contextual rules from indexed governance docs to support informed decision-making and avoid missing critical constraints.

What's the best way to align new implementations with established project rules and standards?

The best way to align implementations with project rules is to query governance documentation covering rules, architecture decisions, and quality standards before planning, preventing the reinvention of existing standards and ensuring compliance.

Why does querying governance documentation fail if CLAUDE.md files are not indexed?

Querying governance documentation fails without indexed CLAUDE.md files because the stratus MCP retrieve tool requires pre-indexed governance documents, including ADRs and rules, to perform contextual retrieval for compliance checks.
