How do I create an Architecture Decision Record using a standard template?▼

To create an Architecture Decision Record, provide an ADR identifier formatted as DOMAIN-NUMBER Title. The tool then generates the ADR file using a predefined template with the required frontmatter and content sections.

What is the best way to automate ADR documentation for software architecture teams?▼

Automating ADR documentation is best handled by generating standardized files and updating decision logs. This enforces required frontmatter and template sections while linking related logs for discoverability across repositories.

How do ADR templates keep decision logs discoverable in project governance?▼

ADR templates keep decision logs discoverable by updating index references and governance logs. This ensures new Architecture Decision Records are consistently indexed and aligned within the project repository.

Can I use ADR generation across multiple repositories and design discussions?▼

Yes, you can use ADR generation across multiple repositories and design discussions. It supports collaborative workflows for software architecture teams documenting decisions across various domains.

Do I need to format my ADR identifier in a specific way before generation?▼
