Overview

Use to record a post-hoc or asynchronous architecture decision as a MADR ADR when it was NOT captured during the synchronous design pass — a choice made in code, in a chat, on a whiteboard, or one a tasks/review gate flagged as missing. Triggers on "ADR for {decision}", "adr for {slug}", "document the decision on {topic}", "lock in the decision about {X}", "MADR for {topic}", "/sdd:decide-adr {slug} {title}", "створи ADR для рішення", "задокументуй рішення", "ADR на {тему}". Confirms the decision is ADR-worthy via the blast-radius gate, picks the next 4-digit number, copies design's MADR template, and fills context / drivers / considered options / outcome / honest consequences. Supports a Proposed → Accepted review flow. Output: docs/features/{slug}/adr/NNNN-{title}.md. For decisions made live with the user, use `design` — it spawns ADRs inline (Accepted).

Skill: decide-adr

The post-hoc / asynchronous ADR path (pipeline stage 8a). design spawns ADRs synchronously and Accepted while you walk it Socratically; decide-adr records a decision that missed that pass — already in code, agreed in a chat, sketched on a whiteboard, or flagged by a tasks/review gate as a contract with no ADR behind it. It can also run a Proposed → Accepted review flow when the decision still needs a reviewer's sign-off. One file = one decision; it reuses design's MADR template, so there is no second ADR format here.

It is a recording utility, not a Socratic design stage — it does not run the shared Socratic loop or critic. The two shared dependencies are question phrasing and the worthiness gate: → ../_shared/ask-style.md · ../design/references/blast-radius.md

ADR prose (context / drivers / consequences) follows artifact_language — the MADR headings and Status: values (Proposed / Accepted / …) stay English → ../_shared/artifact-language.md.

Owner

Decision author (usually the Architect or Tech Lead). A reviewer (Tech Lead, plus Security when relevant) signs off the Proposed → Accepted transition.

Inputs

  • <slug> — the feature slug, same as every earlier stage.
  • <title> — kebab-case, describes the decision, not the problem (time-sortable-ids, not id-strategy).
  • The decision itself + its alternatives — pulled from sad.md §4 Solution strategy / §9 ADR index / §11 Risks, or supplied by the user.
  • Input gate (soft). Expects docs/features/<slug>/ to exist, ideally with sad.md (decide-adr reads its §4/§9/§11 for context and drivers). If the decision is genuinely standalone — no feature folder yet — allow it, but note the missing design context in the ADR's Context section and warn the user, rather than refusing.

Protocol

  1. Locate the feature. test -d docs/features/<slug>. Missing → ask whether to proceed standalone (AskUserQuestion, phrasing per ../_shared/ask-style.md). On «yes», create docs/features/<slug>/adr/ and flag that design context is absent. sad.md present → read its §4 (strategy), §9 (existing ADR index), §11 (risks); absent → note it and source context from the user.
  2. Worthiness check. Score the decision against the blast-radius gate — ../design/references/blast-radius.md (irreversible / multi-module / has legitimate alternatives). 2-of-3 → proceed. Below the bar → tell the user it's likely inline-in-sad.md material, not an ADR, and confirm before writing one anyway.
  3. Dedup. ls docs/features/<slug>/adr/*.md 2>/dev/null. An Accepted ADR on the same topic exists → don't duplicate: propose either editing it or a new ADR that marks the old one Superseded by NNNN (and stamps the old one's status + updated_at).
  4. Pick the number. NNNN = (count of existing adr/*.md) + 1, zero-padded to 4 digits (0001, 0002, …). Never reuse a number.
  5. Copy the template. Copy ../design/templates/adr.md → docs/features/<slug>/adr/NNNN-<title>.md. This is the canonical MADR shape, owned by design and referenced here — do not invent a variant. Patch frontmatter: owner, updated_at: <today>, feature_size (from .size if present), ticket.
  6. Context. 2–4 sentences: what forced this decision (an NFR, an incident, a constraint), and — if sad.md is absent — an explicit note that there is no design document, so the context is reconstructed from the author.
  7. Decision drivers. Bullets — the quality goals / constraints that pushed the choice, each traceable to a real source (spec §6 NFR, sad.md §2 Constraints, a §1 top-3 quality goal). Don't invent drivers; they filter out pet decisions.
  8. Considered options. List all serious options (≥2 — one option is a declaration, not a decision), one line each with its trade-off. No strawman (an option an existing constraint already rules out).
  9. Decision outcome. «Chosen: » + 1–2 sentences on why it won, citing the drivers above.
  10. Consequences. Positive and Negative and Neutral — cons included, or it's rationalisation, not a record. Name what changes in the codebase, ops, monitoring, onboarding. <!-- TBD --> only where a number honestly needs a spike.
  11. Status. Proposed while a reviewer still has to sign off; Accepted once final. Run the review flow when needed: write Proposed, fill reviewers, and on sign-off flip to Accepted and bump updated_at. A reader six months on must be able to tell a live plan from a settled fact.
  12. Close the loop. Add a row to sad.md §9 ADR index (and link from tasks/_epic.md if the ADR scopes a specific task). The ADR's own ## Links must point up to the spec + the relevant sad.md §N — no orphans.
  13. Structural self-check — per ../_shared/self-check.md: re-read the written ADR from disk and verify 6 items: (1) NNNN = prior adr/*.md count + 1 and is unique in the folder; (2) ≥2 options under Considered options; (3) Consequences carries at least one Negative; (4) status ∈ {Proposed, Accepted}; (5) a row for this ADR exists in sad.md §9 (when sad.md exists); (6) ## Links is non-empty. Fix + re-check ≤2 cycles; surface anything unresolved.
  14. Propose commit + handoff. adr: <slug> NNNN <title>. Then emit the stage-handoff block per ../_shared/handoff.md (utility variant) — What I did (incl. «self-check: 6/6 pass») + Review (adr/NNNN-<title>.md) + Run next: resume the gate that needed it (/sdd:tasks <slug> or /sdd:plan-tests <slug>); /clear optional.

Definition of Done

  • docs/features/<slug>/adr/NNNN-<title>.md exists in design's MADR format (frontmatter + Context + Decision drivers + Considered options + Decision outcome + Consequences + Links).
  • NNNN is correct (existing count + 1, 4-digit) and the title is in decision-form (0007-time-sortable-ids.md ✓ vs 0007-id-strategy.md ✗).
  • status is explicit — Accepted (final) or Proposed (reviewer pending, reviewers filled).
  • ≥2 considered options, no strawman; Consequences carry real Negatives, not only Positives.
  • Linked both ways: a row in sad.md §9 (when sad.md exists) and the ADR's ## Links point up to spec + sad §N. A genuinely standalone ADR notes the missing design context instead.
  • Dedup ran; a same-topic prior decision is Superseded by NNNN, never silently duplicated.

Anti-patterns

  • Using this for a live decision. A choice made now with the user belongs in design (spawned inline, Accepted); decide-adr is for what missed that pass.
  • ADR without options. «We chose X» with no alternatives is a declaration. List ≥2 serious options; no strawman.
  • ADR as a changelog. «Tried it, didn't work» is a news feed, not a decision record.
  • ADR as a spec. Acceptance criteria / NFRs don't live here — an ADR is trade-off and reasoning. That detail is in spec.md / data-model / api.
  • No status. A reader six months on can't tell a current plan from an old decision.
  • Problem-form title (0007-id-strategy.md) — in the §9 index it's unclear which decision exists. Use the decision (0007-time-sortable-ids.md).
  • All-positive consequences — an honest ADR names its Negatives and Neutrals too.
  • Reinventing the template. Reuse ../design/templates/adr.md; a second ADR format fragments the genre.
  • Orphan ADR. Written but not in §9 and with no ## Links up to spec/sad — six-month archaeology can't find it.

References & template

  • ../design/templates/adr.md — the canonical MADR scaffold this skill copies and fills (owned by design; do not duplicate it here).
  • ../design/references/blast-radius.md — the 3-criteria worthiness gate (irreversible / multi-module / legitimate alternatives); same gate design runs, applied here to confirm the decision earns an ADR.
  • ../_shared/ask-style.md — phrasing for the standalone-confirm, worthiness-borderline, and Superseded questions.

Example invocation

User: «ADR for time-sortable-ids on checkout-discounts — tasks flagged a missing ADR for the id-generation choice» Skill: docs/features/checkout-discounts/ exists with sad.md → reads §4/§9/§11. Blast-radius: id strategy is irreversible (a switch later needs a backfill across every row) + multi-module (other modules read the ids) → 2-of-3, proceed. ls adr/ → 0001, 0002 exist → NNNN = 0003. Title 0003-time-sortable-ids.md (decision-form). Copies ../design/templates/adr.md. Context: the §11 risk on hot-row contention forced an explicit id choice. Drivers: spec §6 NFR (predictable ordering) + the existing capability in the stack. Options: (a) time-sortable ids generated in the app; (b) database auto-increment; (c) random ids. Outcome: «Chosen: (a)» — keeps natural ordering without a central sequence; (b) couples to one writer, (c) loses ordering. Consequences: + ordered without coordination; − slightly larger ids than auto-increment; neutral: switching later needs a backfill. Status Accepted. Adds a §9 row, fills ## Links. Commit adr: checkout-discounts 0003 time-sortable-ids.

# Skill: decide-adr

The **post-hoc / asynchronous ADR path** (pipeline stage 8a). `design` spawns ADRs synchronously and `Accepted` while you walk it Socratically; `decide-adr` records a decision that *missed* that pass — already in code, agreed in a chat, sketched on a whiteboard, or flagged by a `tasks`/review gate as a contract with no ADR behind it. It can also run a `Proposed → Accepted` review flow when the decision still needs a reviewer's sign-off. One file = one decision; it reuses design's MADR template, so there is **no second ADR format here**.

It is a recording utility, not a Socratic design stage — it does **not** run the shared Socratic loop or critic. The two shared dependencies are question phrasing and the worthiness gate:
→ [`../_shared/ask-style.md`](../_shared/ask-style.md) · [`../design/references/blast-radius.md`](../design/references/blast-radius.md)

ADR prose (context / drivers / consequences) follows `artifact_language` — the MADR headings and `Status:` values (`Proposed` / `Accepted` / …) stay English → [`../_shared/artifact-language.md`](../_shared/artifact-language.md).

## Owner

Decision author (usually the Architect or Tech Lead). A reviewer (Tech Lead, plus Security when relevant) signs off the `Proposed → Accepted` transition.

## Inputs

- `<slug>` — the feature slug, same as every earlier stage.
- `<title>` — kebab-case, describes the **decision**, not the problem (`time-sortable-ids`, not `id-strategy`).
- The decision itself + its alternatives — pulled from `sad.md` §4 Solution strategy / §9 ADR index / §11 Risks, or supplied by the user.
- **Input gate (soft).** Expects `docs/features/<slug>/` to exist, ideally with `sad.md` (decide-adr reads its §4/§9/§11 for context and drivers). If the decision is genuinely standalone — no feature folder yet — allow it, but **note the missing design context** in the ADR's Context section and warn the user, rather than refusing.

4. **Pick the number.** `NNNN` = (count of existing `adr/*.md`) + 1, zero-padded to 4 digits (`0001`, `0002`, …). Never reuse a number.
5. **Copy the template.** Copy [`../design/templates/adr.md`](../design/templates/adr.md) → `docs/features/<slug>/adr/NNNN-<title>.md`. This is the canonical MADR shape, owned by `design` and referenced here — do not invent a variant. Patch frontmatter: `owner`, `updated_at: <today>`, `feature_size` (from `.size` if present), `ticket`.
6. **Context.** 2–4 sentences: what forced this decision (an NFR, an incident, a constraint), and — if `sad.md` is absent — an explicit note that there is no design document, so the context is reconstructed from the author.

## Definition of Done

- `docs/features/<slug>/adr/NNNN-<title>.md` exists in design's MADR format (frontmatter + Context + Decision drivers + Considered options + Decision outcome + Consequences + Links).
- `NNNN` is correct (existing count + 1, 4-digit) and the title is in **decision-form** (`0007-time-sortable-ids.md` ✓ vs `0007-id-strategy.md` ✗).
