When this skill is invoked:
- •
Determine the next ADR number by scanning
docs/architecture/for existing ADRs. - •
Gather context by reading related code and existing ADRs.
- •
Guide the user through the decision by asking clarifying questions if the title alone is not sufficient.
- •
Generate the ADR following this format:
