SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) is a critical but often time-consuming task that requires strict adherence to templates and word limits. This Skill automates the creation of ADRs, ensuring consistency, compliance, and freeing up engineers to focus on implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-driven ADR Generation: Automatically drafts ADRs following a predefined, structured template, ensuring all necessary sections are covered.
  • Word Count Enforcement: Critically ensures that ADRs stay within specified length limits (e.g., 900 words), promoting conciseness and clarity.
  • Contextual Writing: Designed to integrate with other Skills (like an "ADR Researcher") to produce well-informed and contextually relevant architectural decisions.
  • Use Case: Quickly generate a new ADR for a critical architectural decision, such as choosing a new database technology, ensuring it adheres to company standards and word limits without manual effort.

Quick Start

"Write an Architectural Decision Record for implementing a new caching layer, based on the research provided by the ADR Researcher Skill. Keep it under 900 words."
