Quick Reference

./scripts/create_adr.sh "Decision Title"

Workflow

  1. Identify decision - What choice needs documentation?

ADR Format

All ADRs follow this structure:

# ADR-XXX: Title

**Status**: Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Deciders**: Names/roles

## Context
What is the issue we're facing?

## Decision
What decision are we making?

## Rationale
Why this decision? Key reasons.

## Consequences
### Positive
- Benefit 1

### Negative
- Drawback 1

### Neutral
- Other impact 1

## Alternatives Considered
### Alternative 1

Status Lifecycle

  • Proposed - Under consideration
  • Accepted - Decision made and active
  • Deprecated - No longer recommended
  • Superseded - Replaced by newer ADR
