Architecture Decision Record

This skill facilitates the creation and maintenance of Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to capture the rationale, context, and consequences of key technical choices. By utilizing the structured Nygard format, it helps engineering teams preserve architectural memory, onboard new members effectively, and avoid repetitive debates by documenting the 'why' behind every major design choice. It provides comprehensive guidance on managing the ADR lifecycle—from proposal to supersession—ensuring that decisions regarding databases, system boundaries, and infrastructure are recorded with clear evidence of trade-offs and alternatives considered.
