Structured Architectural Decision Record generator with AI-optimized formatting and sequential file management.
Generates standardized ADR documents with front matter, context, decision rationale, and consequences organized into positive and negative outcomes Requires four inputs (decision title, context, decision, alternatives, stakeholders) with validation to prompt for missing information before generation Uses coded bullet-point system (3-4 letter codes + 3-digit numbers) across consequences, alternatives, implementation notes, and references for machine parsing Automatically saves documents to /docs/adr/ directory with sequential naming convention (adr-NNNN-[title-slug].md) and enforces standardized markdown structure with YAML front matter

Create Architectural Decision Record
Create an ADR document for ${input:DecisionTitle} using structured formatting optimized for AI consumption and human readability.
Inputs
Context: ${input:Context}
Decision: ${input:Decision}
Alternatives: ${input:Alternatives}
Stakeholders: ${input:Stakeholders}
Input Validation
If any of the required inputs are not provided or cannot be determined from the conversation history, ask the user to provide the missing information before proceeding with ADR generation.
Requirements
Use precise, unambiguous language
Follow standardized ADR format with front matter
Include both positive and negative consequences
Document alternatives with rejection rationale
Structure for machine parsing and human reference
Use coded bullet points (3-4 letter codes + 3-digit numbers) for multi-item sections
The ADR must be saved in the /docs/adr/ directory using the naming convention: adr-NNNN-[title-slug].md, where NNNN is the next sequential 4-digit number (e.g., adr-0001-database-selection.md).
Required Documentation Structure
The documentation file must follow the template below, ensuring that all sections are filled out appropriately. The front matter for the markdown should be structured correctly as per the example following:
---
title: "ADR-NNNN: [Decision Title]"
status: "Proposed"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
authors: "[Stakeholder Names/Roles]"
tags: ["architecture", "decision"]
supersedes: ""
superseded_by: ""
---
# ADR-NNNN: [Decision Title]
## Status
**Proposed** | Accepted | Rejected | Superseded | Deprecated
## Context
[Problem statement, technical constraints, business requirements, and environmental factors requiring this decision.]
## Decision
[Chosen solution with clear rationale for selection.]
## Consequences
### Positive
- **POS-001**: [Beneficial outcomes and advantages]
- **POS-002**: [Performance, maintainability, scalability improvements]

- **NEG-002**: [Technical debt or complexity introduced]
- **NEG-003**: [Risks and future challenges]
## Alternatives Considered
