Create an Architectural Decision Record (ADR) document for AI-optimized decision documentation.

Skill content

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
