How does this Claude Code skill help my team?

It provides Claude with standardized templates and best practices to ensure your team's technical decisions are documented consistently, making it easier to onboard new members and track project history.

What is an ADR in software development?

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a short text file that captures a significant technical decision, including the context in which it was made and the resulting consequences.

Does it include a review process?

Absolutely. The skill outlines a comprehensive ADR review checklist to ensure that all viable options are considered and that security and cost implications are addressed before acceptance.

What formats does the ADR skill support?

The skill supports several industry standards, including Markdown Architecture Decision Records (MADR), lightweight formats for quick decisions, and Y-Statements for concise rationale.

Can I use this for existing legacy projects?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for documentation deprecation and superseding, allowing you to bridge the gap between historical choices and modern architectural changes.
