What problem does it solve?

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) provide a formal mechanism to capture the rationale behind significant technical decisions, not just the decisions themselves, enabling future traceability and accountability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard ADR templates and guidance to structure decisions.
  • Lifecycle governance and templates for Proposed, Accepted, Deprecated, and Superseded statuses.
  • Scenarios include technology selections, architectural patterns, performance trade-offs, and data modeling decisions across projects.
  • Use case: create ADRs to document why a particular framework or design approach was chosen.

Quick Start

Create a new ADR following the ADR template and store it under docs/adr with the next sequential ADR number.
