documentation-and-adrs

Document architectural decisions by recording the context, constraints, and trade-offs in an Architecture Decision Record. This ensures future engineers understand the rationale behind major redesigns and API changes.

Write an ADR when making major architectural decisions, API changes, or feature rollouts where context and trade-offs must be preserved for teams and agents to understand why changes were made.

Maintain traceability for API changes by applying inline documentation guidelines and a structured README and changelog. This records design choices and constraints to keep the codebase consistent.

Create an ADR by using structured templates to describe the rationale, alternatives, and trade-offs of the latest architectural decision. This captures the context needed to guide future development work.

Yes, preserving inline documentation guidelines across a codebase is supported. It provides structured documentation standards to maintain consistency and traceability alongside the recorded decision records.

Recording rationale and alternatives behind architectural decisions ensures future developers understand what constraints shaped the changes. This prevents repeating past discussions and guides future engineering work.
