Architecture Decision Record Creator
Generates standardized Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to document significant technical choices and their rationales.
The create-adr skill streamlines the process of documenting architectural decisions by automating file creation, sequential numbering, and template selection within your codebase. It supports popular formats like Nygard (Basic) and MADR, ensuring technical teams maintain a clear, searchable history of the context, options, and consequences behind every major design choice. By automatically detecting existing directory structures and updating ADR indices, it eliminates the manual friction typically associated with maintaining high-quality project documentation.
