Architectural Design Records (ADRs)

This directory contains Architectural Design Records (ADRs) that document important technical decisions made throughout the project's development.

Purpose

ADRs capture the context, decision, and consequences of significant architectural choices. They help:

  • Preserve decision-making rationale for future reference
  • Onboard new team members by explaining why certain approaches were chosen
  • Avoid revisiting settled decisions without proper context
  • Maintain consistency across the codebase

Naming Convention

  • Start with DR followed by a three-digit incremented number and an underscore
  • Use descriptive names that clearly indicate the decision being documented
  • Format: DR###_DESCRIPTIVE_NAME.md
  • Example: DR002_Search_Provider.md

Structure

Each ADR should follow this general structure:

  1. Title: Clear, concise description of the decision
  2. Context: Background information and problem being solved
  3. Decision: The approach chosen and how it works
  4. Consequences: Expected outcomes, trade-offs, and implications
