Architecture Decision Records

What is an ADR?

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) captures an important architectural decision made along with its context and consequences. ADRs are a lightweight way to document the "why" behind technical choices, ensuring that future contributors understand the reasoning behind the current architecture.

Format

This project uses the Nygard-style ADR format:

  • Title: Short noun phrase describing the decision
  • Status: Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded
  • Date: When the decision was made
  • Context: What is the issue that we're seeing that motivates this decision?
  • Decision: What is the change that we're proposing and/or doing?
  • Consequences: What becomes easier or more difficult to do because of this change?
  • Alternatives Considered: What other options were evaluated?

Creating New ADRs

  1. Copy an existing ADR as a template
  2. Assign the next sequential number (e.g., 006-your-title.md)
  3. Fill in all sections: Status, Date, Context, Decision, Consequences, Alternatives
  4. Set the status to Proposed until reviewed
  5. Update this README index table
  6. Submit as part of a pull request for review

ADRs should not be deleted. If a decision is reversed, create a new ADR that supersedes the old one and update the old ADR's status to Superseded by [ADR NNN](NNN-title.md).
