FAQPage Schema
How do I document architectural decisions systematically in my project?

Architecture Decision Records are sequentially-numbered documents stored in the docs/adr/ directory that permanently capture context, decisions, alternatives, and consequences from plans or specs.

How do I generate an ADR from an existing plan or spec file?

Generate an ADR by providing a plan file, spec file, or inline description; the system automatically determines the next ADR number and creates an updated index file in the docs/adr/ directory.

When should I create an Architecture Decision Record?

Create an Architecture Decision Record when you need to permanently capture a significant software design choice, such as selecting a new database technology, ensuring clarity and maintainability across the project.

Does this ADR tool automatically maintain the index file?

Yes, the tool automates the determination of the next sequential ADR number and creates an updated index file alongside the new Architecture Decision Record in the documentation directory.

What is the best way to keep architectural documentation consistent?

The best way to keep architectural documentation consistent is by following a standard ADR template for record-keeping, ensuring every sequentially-numbered document captures the same structural metadata.
