SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The PDLC Decide skill enables teams to capture architectural or product decisions in a centralized Decision Registry, ensuring traceability, accountability, and governance across the PDLC lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates a formal ADR workflow: prompts for decision details, reads the current phase and assigns the lead agent, and guides users through pre-flight checks, impact assessments, and MOM generation.
  • Coordinates a Decision Review Party consisting of built-in agents (and any matching custom agents) to assess impact on architecture, roadmap, tests, and documentation, producing structured assessments and a written MOM.
  • Updates PDLC artifacts (DECISIONS.md, ADR records, MOM files) with context, decisions, risk, and potential roadmap changes, enabling auditability and traceability.

Quick Start

Provide the decision text as an argument to /pdlc decide to start the ADR workflow.
