Add a Decision Record
One decision = one numbered file with explicit status, so readers learn why instead of guessing. Invoke when a significant decision is made or superseded.
Steps
- Apply the ADR gate. Record only when all three hold: hard to reverse (changing your mind later costs something real), surprising without context (a future reader would ask "why?"), and the result of a real trade-off (genuine alternatives existed). Any one missing - say so and skip the ADR.
- Resolve the directory: an existing ADR folder wins (follow its numbering and format); else profile
decisions_dir; else createdocs/decisions/(NNNN-<kebab-slug>.md, MADR-style). - Superseding? The old ADR gets
Superseded by NNNN, both link to each other; never rewrite an accepted ADR's substance. - Next number from the existing files; write the sections: Title (the decision as a statement), Status (
proposed | accepted | superseded by NNNNplus date), Context (the forces - readable in two years), Decision (active voice), Consequences (honest, costs included), Alternatives (each with the one reason it lost). - Link the ADR from the docs or rules it affects.
- Report the path plus a one-line summary.
Verify
- The file exists with a clear Status line; a superseded chain links both ways.
Scope / hand-off
- Updating prose in feature/architecture docs -
spec-audit-docs/ the docs flow.
CRITICAL
- Still an open debate - record as
proposedand name the decider; an ADR is not a way to win an argument. - Vague consequences ("cleaner architecture") - replace with the concrete obligation or saving, or omit.
