system-docs

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) capture the context and rationale behind specific design choices. You need them to preserve architectural intent during refactors and to align teams on system design decisions across multiple projects.

You document domain models and workflows by applying structured templates to map business logic and processes. This creates living documentation that evolves with code, providing new engineers with comprehensive system understanding and architectural context.

The best way to structure system documentation is using enforced templates for ADRs, domain models, and workflows with a references section. This framework provides guardrails to keep your documentation living and accurate as your codebase evolves.

Yes, you create and update your Architecture Decision Records and system documentation under the docs/ directory. Following this folder structure ensures your ADRs, domain models, and workflow documentation remain organized and accessible for team alignment.

You should use templates for system docs because they enforce consistent structure across ADRs, domain models, and workflows. This consistency prevents knowledge loss during refactors and ensures your documentation accurately captures business logic and design rationale.

Yes, you can use these documentation templates across multiple projects to align teams on architecture. The structured ADRs, system docs, and domain models adapt to different contexts while maintaining consistent rationale capture and knowledge transfer standards.
