System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of inconsistent, hard-to-audit architecture documentation by producing a complete, sequentially numbered ADR in a simplified MADR format.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sequential ADR numbering: Creates the next ADR-{n} file in docs/adr/ using 3-digit zero-padding to avoid gaps and reuse.
  • Standardized MADR structure: Writes Context, Decision, Consequences (including at least one Negative), and Alternatives in a consistent template.
  • Issue-ready traceability: Optionally includes an **Issue:** #{n} reference so readers can connect decisions to tracked work.
  • Use case example: When you decide how to structure modules for a new service, this skill generates a new ADR capturing the forces, the chosen approach, trade-offs, and alternatives considered.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to create the next simplified MADR architecture decision record for the title "Adopt feature-based module boundaries" and save it into docs/adr/.
