ADR Writing

When writing ADRs, follow the template in docs/process/architecture-decision-record.md exactly:

Structure

1. •

   Frontmatter (YAML):

   yaml

   ---
   id: NNNN
   title: Short Title
   status: active
   tags: [relevant, tags]
   created: YYYY-MM-DD
   superseded-by:
   ---
   

2. •

   Heading: # ADR-NNNN: Title

3. •

   Status badge:

   markdown

   ![Active](https://img.shields.io/badge/Active-green?style=for-the-badge)
   

4. •

   Required sections (in order):

   • •Summary (one paragraph)
   • •Context (why this decision is needed)
   • •Decision (technical details with code examples)
   • •Implementation Phases (checklist)
   • •Consequences (Positive/Negative subsections)
   • •Open Questions
   • •Future Work
   • •References

Style Guidelines

• •Write in present tense for current state, past tense for context
• •Include Rust code examples in Decision section
• •Use tables for comparisons and type listings
• •Be specific about trade-offs in Consequences
• •Reference related ADRs by number (e.g., "See ADR-0001")

Before Writing

1. •Check existing ADRs: ls docs/design/
2. •Determine next available ID
3. •Review related ADRs for context and consistency
4. •Read relevant source code to understand implementation

After Writing

1. •Update docs/design/README.md index table
2. •Verify all code examples are accurate
3. •Ensure frontmatter tags are consistent with existing ADRs

Rust Doc Comments

When writing //! (crate/module) or /// (item) doc comments:

• •Include code examples in fenced blocks (```) so they run as doc tests
• •Use # prefix inside code blocks to hide setup lines from rendered docs
• •Link to other types with [Type] or [module::Type] syntax

General Documentation

For other technical docs:

• •Follow existing patterns in docs/
• •Use clear headings and structure
• •Include code examples where helpful
• •Cross-reference related documentation

Markdown Style

Follow the markdownlint rules defined in .config/.markdownlint.yml.

Validation

After writing or editing documentation:

1. •Run mise run format to auto-format markdown files
2. •Run mise run lint:markdown to check for remaining issues
3. •Fix any errors the formatter was unable to address
