Does this skill provide a template for tracking decisions?

Yes, it includes an RFC Registry template to track the status, authors, and target dates of all active, accepted, and rejected proposals in one place.

How long should the 'Open for Comment' period last?

The skill suggests a minimum of two weeks for the 'Open for Comment' phase to allow stakeholders enough time to provide meaningful technical feedback.

What is the difference between an RFC and an ADR in this skill?

An RFC (Request for Comments) is a proposal used before a decision is made to invite discussion, while an ADR (Architecture Decision Record) documents the final decision and rationale after it is accepted.

When should I use a Lightweight RFC instead of a full RFC?

Use the Lightweight RFC (Design Doc) format for smaller proposals or internal refactoring that require feedback but don't impact the entire system architecture or multiple teams.

Facilitates structured technical proposal creation and consensus-building through a formal Request for Comments (RFC) workflow.

The RFC Process skill provides a comprehensive framework for managing the lifecycle of technical proposals and design decisions within software development teams. It offers standardized templates for both full RFCs and lightweight design documents, helps distinguish between proposals (RFCs) and records (ADRs), and establishes clear workflows for feedback, review, and approval. By using this skill, teams can ensure that significant architectural changes, API designs, and technology adoptions are thoroughly vetted, documented, and aligned with stakeholder expectations before implementation begins.
