# Decision Documentation -- Activation Gate Check

## Result

The skill instructions were read and its guardrail was applied: it runs only when Mike explicitly asks to document a specific, settled decision.

## Why no ADR was created

The Flat Fee execution request authorizes skill testing. It does not identify a single accepted project decision, its alternatives, or an instruction to add that decision to the MDAI project decision log. Creating an ADR would therefore invent a decision and violate the skill’s activation rule.

## Safe local component checked

The prescribed destination and required ADR fields were verified from the skill instructions:

- destination: `.planning/decisions/YYYY-MM-DD-<short-slug>.md`
- fields: context, decision, rationale, alternatives, consequences, evidence
- no automatic memory mutation

## Gate to complete

Provide one explicit, accepted decision to document. The skill can then inspect the project ADR index, write one focused project-local ADR, and validate its path without touching another runtime.
