 ## Why it exists
 
-Method selection often starts with a familiar acronym and ends with unnecessary process. Praxis Atlas starts with the decision, context, constraints, evidence needs, and failure modes. It then composes only the capabilities the problem requires.

+# ADR 0002: Rename the repository to Method Forge
+
+- **Date:** 2026-08-16
+- **Status:** accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The repository is a curated knowledge base and installable agent skill for selecting, composing, and operationalizing methods. The previous name, Praxis Atlas, emphasized catalog breadth but did not clearly signal the project's transformation and composition role.
+
+## Decision
+
+Rename the repository and public project identity to **Method Forge**. Preserve `select-methodologies` as the stable skill identifier and package path so existing installation and invocation workflows remain compatible.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Positive:** the name better communicates method composition and practical transformation.
+- **Positive:** the installable skill remains discoverable and backwards-compatible.
+- **Cost:** repository URLs and citation metadata change, while GitHub redirects the former repository URL.

 Start with the [repository README](../README.md) for purpose and usage. Read the [architecture](architecture.md) to understand ownership and validation. The operational selection workflow lives in the [`select-methodologies` skill](../skills/select-methodologies/SKILL.md).
