To document architectural decisions automatically, trigger the capture process during your development session by indicating a decision moment. The system auto-detects the context, records alternatives and rationale, and formats it into a structured log entry.

Maintaining a structured ADR log involves capturing decision context, documenting alternatives, and tracking the decision lifecycle from proposed to accepted, deprecated, or superseded. This structured format ensures architectural decisions remain accessible for future codebase understanding.

Yes, you can track the lifecycle of an architectural decision. The system manages decision status updates throughout its lifecycle, recording transitions from proposed to accepted, deprecated, or superseded, ensuring the decision documentation remains accurate over time.

To capture rationale and alternatives for architectural decisions, initiate an ADR entry during your workflow. The system gathers the decision context, documents the considered alternatives, and records the specific rationale behind the chosen architectural path.

Yes, architectural decision documentation integrates with code review workflows and planning tools. This integration ensures that recorded decisions and their rationale are accessible and visible during code review, fostering better codebase understanding and maintainability.

You need to use an ADR process when making significant architectural choices in your development workflow. Recording context, alternatives, and consequences prevents knowledge loss and ensures that future codebase maintainability is not compromised by undocumented decisions.
