/ca-adr — author an ADR

Record an architectural decision as a numbered, dated ADR. Title the decision clearly — name what was decided, not what was considered ("Use PostgreSQL as the primary database", not "Database selection"). This is the only sanctioned path to author an ADR.

Routes to

The decision-lifecycle skill (<plugin-root>/routines/decision-lifecycle/SKILL.md). The skill owns numbering, the file template, the proposed → accepted → superseded | rejected status lifecycle, and writes the file to <project-root>/.codearbiter/decisions/. Status transitions require explicit user instruction; the orchestrator never advances an ADR on its own.

When NOT to use

Check the health of existing ADRs → /ca-adr-status.
Reconcile or challenge a suspect ADR → /ca-reconcile.
Ask about a decision without recording it → /ca-btw.

Hard gate

An ADR is authored ONLY via /ca-adr with explicit user attribution. MUST NOT author an ADR as the disposition of a routine finding — decision-worthy findings surface to the user or to open-questions.md as a [CONFIRM-NN]. MUST NOT resolve a [CONFIRM-NN] in the ADR by guessing.
