decision-log

To automatically update an ADR decision log at commit time, use a workflow skill that aligns ADR and DECISIONS files with existing project formats. It summarizes rationale from conversation history and code diffs during code reviews and release preparation.

Capturing architectural decisions from prior conversations involves summarizing discussion history and code diffs into a consistent template. This approach ensures traceable links and careful validation to prevent fabrication when recording decision rationale.

Maintaining consistent ADR templates requires applying a standardized format to new architectural decision records. By aligning new entries with existing DECISIONS.md formats, teams establish an operational flow that keeps decision history traceable and orderly.

Yes, this decision logging approach works without external dependencies. It operates as a standalone workflow skill that uses consistent templates and traceable links to validate and record architectural decisions during the commit process.

The main limitation of automated decision log generation is the risk of fabrication. It requires careful validation against actual conversation history and code diffs to ensure the summarized rationale accurately reflects true architectural decisions.
