adr
Create Architecture Decision Records through interactive conversation. Use when making technology choices, architecture patterns, or third-party service selections.
Best use case
adr is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Create Architecture Decision Records through interactive conversation. Use when making technology choices, architecture patterns, or third-party service selections.
Teams using adr should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# /adr Create Architecture Decision Records through interactive conversation. ## Usage ```bash /adr # Start conversation /adr "database selection for coordinatr" # Provide topic ``` ## Output Location ADRs live with code in `spaces/`: ``` spaces/[project]/docs/project/adrs/ ├── ADR-001-database-choice.md ├── ADR-002-auth-strategy.md └── ADR-003-testing-strategy.md ``` ## Execution Flow ### 1. Gather Context ```bash # Current architecture Read: spaces/[project]/docs/project/architecture-overview.md # Existing ADRs Glob: spaces/[project]/docs/project/adrs/ADR-*.md # Project context Read: ideas/[project]/project-brief.md # Relevant research Glob: resources/research/*.md ``` ### 2. Interactive Conversation Ask one at a time: 1. **What decision needs to be made?** 2. **Why is this decision needed now?** 3. **What options are you considering?** (2-4 alternatives) 4. **What are the constraints?** (time, budget, skills) 5. **What are the trade-offs for each?** 6. **Which option do you prefer and why?** ### 3. Research Support If user unsure about options: - Check existing research in `resources/research/` - Suggest `/research` for deeper dive - Use WebSearch for current best practices ### 4. Create ADR Document ```markdown # ADR-###: [Decision Title] **Status**: Accepted **Date**: YYYY-MM-DD **Decision Makers**: [who was involved] ## Context [Why this decision is needed] ## Decision We will use **[chosen option]** because [rationale]. ## Options Considered ### Option 1: [Name] **Pros**: ... **Cons**: ... ### Option 2: [Name] **Pros**: ... **Cons**: ... ## Consequences ### Positive - What we gain ### Negative - What we lose - Technical debt accepted ### Risks - Risk and mitigation ## Related Decisions - Links to related ADRs/specs ## References - Documentation links ``` ## When to Use - Technology/framework selection - Architecture patterns - Third-party service choices - Data modeling approaches - Cross-project standards **Not for**: Implementation details, temporary decisions, already-decided standards ## ADR Lifecycle 1. **Accepted** - Decision made, actively followed 2. **Deprecated** - No longer relevant 3. **Superseded** - Replaced by newer ADR ## Workflow ``` /brief -> /research -> /adr -> /spec ```
