An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a structured Markdown document capturing context, alternatives, and consequences. You need one when making critical architectural choices to maintain a traceable decision history across engineering teams and projects.

Manage ADR lifecycle states using frontmatter metadata fields and link related decisions through reference sections. This enforces governance, provides traceability, and connects historical choices across multiple projects and time periods.

Yes, ADR templates support project governance and team decision tracking. They enforce standard Markdown structures to index, search, and maintain a consistent decision history across engineering teams and projects.

Structure decision records using standard templates with Context, Decision, and Consequences sections. This format captures options and rationale, enforcing a disciplined, reusable record that informs current and future engineering work.

Index and search historical architecture decisions by storing standard Markdown ADRs with frontmatter metadata. This enables maintaining, searching, and reviewing a comprehensive decision history across engineering teams and time.
