An architecture decision record (ADR) documents context, constraints, and trade-offs for major project choices. Create ADRs when selecting frameworks, data models, or major dependencies to preserve context for future engineers.

Document architectural decisions by applying ADRs that capture context, constraints, and alternatives. Maintain a living history across the project using ADR templates and inline documentation standards to ensure consistent knowledge sharing.

The best way to track framework and API design choices is maintaining ADRs as case studies. Store inline documentation standards and ADR templates to capture design rationale, alternatives, and project-specific gotchas for future contributors.

Yes, ADR templates support maintaining a living history across your project. Apply templates to document major decisions like data models and dependencies, capturing rationale and alternatives to preserve context for future engineers and agents.

Architecture decision records should not be used for minor implementation details. Reserve ADRs for major decisions involving framework choices, data models, or major dependencies where capturing context, constraints, and trade-offs provides value.

Yes, inline documentation standards complement architecture decision records by guiding future contributors and agents. Store inline gotchas and documentation standards alongside ADRs to ensure consistent knowledge sharing across the project.
