Architecture decisions

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) captures one significant decision — the context, the choice made, and its consequences — so the reasoning lives in the repo alongside the code. Decisions are immutable once accepted: to change one, add a new ADR that supersedes it.

docslime add adr <short-slug>

This creates the next-numbered record, e.g. 0001-<short-slug>.md. Fill it in (the file carries inline guidance), then add a row to the log below.

  • Proposed — under discussion.
  • Accepted — decided and in effect.
  • Superseded by ADR-NNNN — replaced by a later decision.
  • Deprecated — no longer relevant.
ADR Title Status Date
Skills-only execution (no server, no model calls from code) Accepted, ADR pending
LLM-only quality gate (no deterministic validator) Accepted, ADR pending
Handbook techniques summarized, not reproduced verbatim Accepted, ADR pending
