Captures and manages structured architectural decision records to document the rationale and trade-offs behind your technical choices.
The Architecture Decision Records (ADR) skill empowers Claude Code to act as a technical historian for your project. By identifying pivotal moments in your development conversations—such as choosing a database, selecting a frontend framework, or defining an API strategy—this skill generates standardized documentation based on the Nygard format. It ensures that the 'why' behind your codebase is never lost, providing a searchable index and detailed logs that live directly within your repository. This facilitates better team alignment, easier onboarding, and clearer long-term maintenance.
