Technical Decision Framework

You document architecture decisions by generating an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) that captures context, options, rationale, consequences, implementation, and validation for future traceability.

An ADR template should include context, decision, options, rationale, consequences, implementation, validation, references, and notes to satisfy the full ADR framework requirements for architecture decisions.

You create architecture decision records in a decisions/ directory, where the framework automatically assigns sequential ADR-XXX numbers to organize and store each documented architecture decision.

Yes, ADR documentation applies to backend, frontend, and cross-cutting architecture decisions, supporting iterative refinement and consultation with domain experts to capture trade-offs accurately.

The best way to capture rationale and consequences is through a structured ADR template that guides you through documenting context, options, and trade-offs to preserve traceability for future reference.

Yes, the ADR framework supports consultation with domain-specific experts and integrates with agents to iteratively refine inputs and consistently fill architecture decision templates.
