The create-architectural-decision-record skill generates formatted Architectural Decision Record (ADR) documents that capture technical decisions with structured sections for context, chosen solutions, consequences, and alternatives. It serves software architects and engineering teams who need to document and communicate major architectural choices in a standardized format optimized for both human review and machine parsing. The skill solves the problem of inconsistent decision documentation by enforcing a consistent template with coded bullet points, front matter metadata, and mandatory sections that ensure decisions are thoroughly reasoned and discoverable.
