SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies and visualizes the dependencies within Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), helping users to ensure their decisions are sound and do not inadvertently introduce risks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Graphing: Visualize the dependency graph of ADRs to see which decisions relate to each other.
  • Reference Checking: Flag dangling references to ADRs that do not exist, ensuring completeness.
  • Use Case: Before superseding or retiring an ADR, use this Skill to see if other ADRs depend on it and adjust your decision-making accordingly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check ADR dependencies before modifying an architecture decision?

Missing ADR references are flagged as dangling references during the dependency mapping process. This ensures completeness by highlighting any architectural decision records that do not exist but are still referenced in your documentation.

What is the best way to visualize architecture decision records that relate to each other?

Visualizing architecture decision records is done by generating a dependency graph that displays related and referencing ADRs. This graph maps the relationships between decisions, allowing you to validate architectural integrity and assess risks.

Can I look up a specific ADR by its ID to see what depends on it?

Yes, you can perform an ADR ID lookup to see exactly which decisions depend on it. The analysis displays the decision graph for that specific record, showing both related and referencing ADRs to inform your risk assessment.

How do I flag dangling references to ADRs that do not exist?

To check ADR dependencies, you can visualize the decision graph to see related and referencing ADRs. This dependency analysis flags missing references and ensures architectural integrity before you supersede or retire a decision.
