Creating a control manifest translates ADRs into actionable coding rules by extracting required patterns, forbidden approaches, and performance guardrails into a flat markdown reference. It processes accepted ADRs and engine references to generate a single source of truth for implementation.

A control manifest is a flat, actionable document that consolidates architectural decisions into specific coding rules. It classifies requirements by architectural layer, such as Foundation or Presentation, and includes global naming conventions and deprecated API listings to ensure consistent implementation across the codebase.

Consolidating technical preferences and engine constraints involves processing accepted ADRs and engine reference documents to extract rules. The resulting control manifest groups these rules per architectural layer and adds performance budgets, enabling developers to reference a unified set of implementation standards.

Generating a control manifest is ideal immediately after an architecture review passes. This ensures the development team receives a single, accurate source of truth listing required patterns and forbidden approaches before implementation begins across the codebase.

An architectural manifest can include performance budgets and deprecated API listings. It extracts performance guardrails and API constraints from accepted ADRs and engine documentation, combining them with layer classifications and naming conventions in the generated markdown file.

The control manifest organizes rules by architectural layer, specifically classifying them into Foundation, Core, Feature, and Presentation tiers. This classification helps programmers quickly locate relevant constraints and required patterns for their specific development context.
