What problem does it solve? Teams lose track of why significant technical decisions were made, making it hard to onboard new members, review past choices, or avoid repeating mistakes. This Skill provides structured templates and processes for capturing architectural decisions with their context, rationale, and consequences. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multiple ADR Templates: Includes MADR standard format, lightweight ADR, Y-Statement, deprecation, and RFC-style templates for different decision types. - ADR Lifecycle Management: Covers status transitions (Proposed, Accepted, Deprecated, Superseded, Rejected), directory structure, index maintenance, and adr-tools automation. - Review Process Guidance: Provides checklists for pre-submission, review, and post-acceptance steps to ensure decision quality. - Use Case: When choosing between PostgreSQL and MongoDB for a new service, use this Skill to document the context, considered options with trade-offs, the final decision, and its consequences in a standardized ADR file. ## Quick Start Write an ADR documenting the decision to adopt event sourcing for the order management service, including context, alternatives, and consequences.
