SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architecture decisions shape long-term systems; ADRs capture context, alternatives, tradeoffs, and consequences to preserve reasoning for future teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured decision records: enforce a consistent template for context, decision, alternatives, and consequences.
  • Traceability with AUDIT: complements ADRs with concise one-line summaries in AUDIT.md for quick references.
  • Versioned history & routing: stores ADRs under docs/decisions/ and supports revisiting decisions over time.

Quick Start

Create a new ADR with a short title under docs/decisions/NNNN-title.md and begin drafting the context, options, and consequences.

Track architecture decision history by storing ADRs under docs/decisions/ and adding a companion AUDIT entry. The AUDIT.md file contains concise one-line summaries for quick reference during audits and reviews.

Do I need a specific workflow to draft and review architectural decision records?

A specific workflow is needed to guide discovery, drafting, and review of architectural decision records. This workflow enforces a structured ADR template and ensures a companion AUDIT entry is created for traceability.

When should I create an ADR instead of standard documentation?

Create an ADR instead of standard documentation for any decision with long-term consequences, such as platform choices, database migrations, or API contracts. ADRs preserve the rationale and alternatives that standard docs often omit.
