Document technical decisions by generating structured Architecture Decision Records that capture context, decision drivers, considered options, and outcomes. This skill guides you through trade-off analysis to ensure clarity and shared understanding within your team.

An Architecture Decision Record is structured documentation for important architectural choices. You need one when selecting tools, setting conventions, or choosing architectural patterns, ensuring the problem context and outcome justifications are explicitly recorded.

Create a trade-off analysis by listing alternatives like PostgreSQL versus MongoDB, then documenting the pros and cons for each option. This skill guides you through evaluating decision drivers to record the final database choice with justifications.

You can fact-check technical claims during the architecture decision process using integrated web search and context analysis. This verifies the accuracy of statements made about considered options before finalizing the decision record.
