adr-format

Document software architecture decisions by generating structured architecture decision records using predefined Markdown templates. These templates enforce consistent structure and documentation best practices across engineering teams managing technical choices.

Track the lifecycle of an architecture decision record using templates that support initial proposals, acceptance, and status updates for deprecation or supersession. This lifecycle management helps maintain clarity as system architectures evolve.

Create a new architecture decision record by providing the decision title and context details to generate a structured template. This allows engineers to quickly document the specific reasons behind technology choices for future audits.

Use architecture decision records for software design when you need to document technical choices and facilitate team onboarding. They provide a standardized format to capture the context and reasoning behind evolving system architectures.

Yes, you can use predefined templates for architecture documentation that support lifecycle updates, making them suitable for evolving system architectures. The templates help track decision status from proposal through to supersession or deprecation.

Yes, the adr-format skill operates without external dependencies to generate architecture decision records. It uses internal scripts and references to provide reusable Markdown templates for software design documentation.
