SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architecture decisions are often scattered across files and chats; this skill provides a structured means to create, document, and maintain Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) with rationale, context, and consequences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ADR Creation: generate new ADRs from a standard template to ensure consistency.
  • ADR Template: provide a lightweight, widely adopted template to capture context, decision, and consequences.
  • ADR Management: list, view, and update ADRs, keeping decisions traceable and auditable.
  • Knowledge Synthesis: analyze ADRs to extract a high-level view of the system's architectural decisions.
  • ADR Validation: enforce required sections and structure to maintain quality across ADRs.

Quick Start

Draft a new ADR by giving it a concise title and add the Context and Decision details to capture rationale.
