decision-record

To document architectural decisions, you record the context, options considered, and final choice with reasoning. This ensures future sessions or engineers understand the technical rationale behind non-obvious software choices.

Tracking technical rationale involves writing a file for each decision detailing trade-offs and context. This provides quick reference for why specific software libraries, patterns, or schemas were selected.

You need to record architectural trade-offs when making significant or reversible choices like data storage or authentication methods. Capturing this impact on future work ensures project knowledge retention.

Run 'decision-record <slug>' where '<slug>' is a concise identifier for the decision. This creates a file capturing the context, options, and final choice with reasoning.

Yes, this decision recording method targets significant or reversible technical architecture choices. It explicitly captures the context and trade-offs to provide clarity on historical decisions.

Capturing project documentation helps with knowledge retention by recording the reasoning behind non-obvious technical choices. This allows future engineers to quickly look up the context and trade-offs of past decisions.
