Core Workflow

1. Gather Required Information

Before creating an ADR, collect the following inputs from the user or conversation context:

• Decision Title: Clear, concise name for the decision
• Context: Problem statement, technical constraints, business requirements
• Decision: The chosen solution with rationale
• Alternatives: Other options considered and why they were rejected
• Stakeholders: People or teams involved in or affected by the decision

Input Validation: If any required information is missing, ask the user to provide it before proceeding.

2. Determine ADR Number

• Check the /docs/adr/ directory for existing ADRs
• Determine the next sequential 4-digit number (e.g., 0001, 0002, etc.)
• If the directory doesn't exist, start with 0001

3. Generate ADR Document in Markdown

Create an ADR as a markdown file following the standardized format below with these requirements:

• Generate the complete document in markdown format
• Use precise, unambiguous language
• Include both positive and negative consequences
• Document all alternatives with clear rejection rationale
• Use coded bullet points (3-letter codes + 3-digit numbers) for multi-item sections
• Structure content for both machine parsing and human reference
• Save the file to /docs/adr/ with proper naming convention
