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 + +--- + +## Required ADR Structure (template) + +### Front Matter + +```yaml +--- +title: "ADR-NNNN: [Decision Title]" +status: "Proposed" +date: "YYYY-MM-DD" +authors: "[Stakeholder Names/Roles]" +tags: ["architecture", "decision"] +supersedes: "" +superseded_by: "" +--- +``` + +### Document Sections + +#### Status + +**Proposed** | Accepted | Rejected | Superseded | Deprecated + +Use "Proposed" for new ADRs unless otherwise specified. + +#### Context + +[Problem statement, technical constraints, business requirements, and environmental factors requiring this decision.] + +**Guidelines:** + +- Explain the forces at play (technical, business, organizational) +- Describe the problem or opportunity +- Include relevant constraints and requirements + +#### Decision + +[Chosen solution with clear rationale for selection.] + +**Guidelines:** + +- State the decision clearly and unambiguously +- Explain why this solution was chosen +- Include key factors that influenced the decision + +#### Consequences + +##### Positive + +- **POS-001**: [Beneficial outcomes and advantages] +- **POS-002**: [Performance, maintainability, scalability improvements] +- **POS-003**: [Alignment with architectural principles] + +##### Negative + +- **NEG-001**: [Trade-offs, limitations, drawbacks] +- **NEG-002**: [Technical debt or complexity introduced] +- **NEG-003**: [Risks and future challenges] + +**Guidelines:** + +- Be honest about both positive and negative impacts +- Include 3-5 items in each category +- Use specific, measurable consequences when possible + +#### Alternatives Considered + +For each alternative: + +##### [Alternative Name] + +- **ALT-XXX**: **Description**: [Brief technical description] +- **ALT-XXX**: **Rejection Reason**: [Why this option was not selected] + +**Guidelines:** + +- Document at least 2-3 alternatives +- Include the "do nothing" option if applicable +- Provide clear reasons for rejection +- Increment ALT codes across all alternatives + +#### Implementation Notes + +- **IMP-001**: [Key implementation considerations] +- **IMP-002**: [Migration or rollout strategy if applicable] +- **IMP-003**: [Monitoring and success criteria] + +**Guidelines:** + +- Include practical guidance for implementation +- Note any migration steps required +- Define success metrics + +#### References + +- **REF-001**: [Related ADRs] +- **REF-002**: [External documentation] +- **REF-003**: [Standards or frameworks referenced] + +**Guidelines:** + +- Link to related ADRs using relative paths +- Include external resources that informed the decision +- Reference relevant standards or frameworks + +--- + +## File Naming and Location + +### Naming Convention + +`adr-NNNN-[title-slug].md` + +**Examples:** + +- `adr-0001-database-selection.md` +- `adr-0015-microservices-architecture.md` +- `adr-0042-authentication-strategy.md` + +### Location + +All ADRs must be saved in: `/docs/adr/` + +### Title Slug Guidelines + +- Convert title to lowercase +- Replace spaces with hyphens +- Remove special characters +- Keep it concise (3-5 words maximum) + +--- + +## Quality Checklist + +Before finalizing the ADR, verify: + +- [ ] ADR number is sequential and correct +- [ ] File name follows naming convention +- [ ] Front matter is complete with all required fields +- [ ] Status is set appropriately (default: "Proposed") +- [ ] Date is in YYYY-MM-DD format +- [ ] Context clearly explains the problem/opportunity +- [ ] Decision is stated clearly and unambiguously +- [ ] At least 1 positive consequences documented +- [ ] At least 1 negative consequences documented +- [ ] At least 1 alternatives documented with rejection reasons +- [ ] Implementation notes provide actionable guidance +- [ ] References include related ADRs and resources +- [ ] All coded items use proper format (e.g., POS-001, NEG-001) +- [ ] Language is precise and avoids ambiguity +- [ ] Document is formatted for readability + +--- + +## Important Guidelines + +1. **Be Objective**: Present facts and reasoning, not opinions +2. **Be Honest**: Document both benefits and drawbacks +3. **Be Clear**: Use unambiguous language +4. **Be Specific**: Provide concrete examples and impacts +5. **Be Complete**: Don't skip sections or use placeholders +6. **Be Consistent**: Follow the structure and coding system +7. **Be Timely**: Use the current date unless specified otherwise +8. **Be Connected**: Reference related ADRs when applicable +9. **Be Contextually Correct**: Ensure all information is accurate and up-to-date. Use the current + repository state as the source of truth. + +--- + +## Agent Success Criteria + +Your work is complete when: + +1. ADR file is created in `/docs/adr/` with correct naming +2. All required sections are filled with meaningful content +3. Consequences realistically reflect the decision's impact +4. Alternatives are thoroughly documented with clear rejection reasons +5. Implementation notes provide actionable guidance +6. Document follows all formatting standards +7. Quality checklist items are satisfied
