About This Skill
What it does
The adr-author skill automatically generates Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) based on provided context. It structures these records with sections like Context, Decision, Consequences, and Status. This helps teams document architectural choices in a consistent and maintainable format, improving communication and knowledge sharing.
When to use it
- Documenting technology selections: Use when choosing between different frameworks or libraries for a project.
- Recording design trade-offs: Capture the reasoning behind specific implementation decisions.
- Formalizing architectural discussions: Transform informal conversations into structured ADRs.
- Onboarding new team members: Provide clear documentation of past architectural choices and their rationale.
Key capabilities
- Generates ADR documents with standard sections (Context, Decision, Consequences, Status).
- Creates records based on provided context or prompts.
- Supports consistent formatting for architectural decisions.
Example prompts
- "Generate an ADR for choosing React over Angular for the frontend."
- "Write an ADR documenting our decision to use a microservices architecture."
- "Create an ADR explaining why we selected PostgreSQL as our database."
Tips & gotchas
The quality of the generated ADR depends heavily on the clarity and detail provided in the prompt. Providing sufficient context will lead to more useful and accurate records.
