The Architecture Decision Records (ADR) skill enables Claude to function as a technical architect by identifying and documenting critical decision points during development. It streamlines the creation of standardized ADRs based on the Michael Nygard format, capturing the context, considered alternatives, and long-term consequences of technical choices. By maintaining a living log in your repository, it ensures that the 'why' behind infrastructure, framework, and design patterns is never lost, making it an essential tool for team collaboration, technical debt management, and developer onboarding.
