Architecture Decision Records (ADR)
Commands
/adr new <title>
Create a new ADR. Prompts for context, options considered, decision, and consequences.
/adr list
List all existing ADRs with number, title, status, and date.
/adr update <number>
Update an existing ADR's status (proposed, accepted, deprecated, superseded).
/adr search <keyword>
Search ADRs by keyword across titles and content.
ADR Template
Every ADR follows this structure and is saved to docs/decisions/:
# ADR-{NUMBER}: {TITLE}
**Status:** {proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded by ADR-XXX}
**Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD}
**Deciders:** {who was involved}
## Context
What is the issue motivating this decision or change?
## Options Considered
1. **Option A** β description, pros, cons
2. **Option B** β description, pros, cons
3. **Option C** β description, pros, cons
## Decision
What is the change that we're proposing and/or doing?
## Consequences
### Positive
- What becomes easier or possible as a result?
### Negative
- What becomes harder or is a tradeoff?
### Risks
- What could go wrong? What's the mitigation?
## Related
- Links to related ADRs, PRs, issues, or external docs
Procedure
- Check existing ADRs β Read
docs/decisions/to find the next available number and avoid duplicates - Gather context β Ask the user for the decision context if not provided
- Draft the ADR β Fill in all sections of the template
- Present for review β Show the draft to the user before saving
- Save β Write to
docs/decisions/ADR-{NUMBER}-{slug}.md - Update index β Append entry to
docs/decisions/DECISIONS.mdindex table
Numbering
ADRs are numbered sequentially starting from 001. The filename uses a slugified title:
ADR-001-use-dataverse-for-entity-storage.md
Status Lifecycle
proposed β accepted β [deprecated | superseded by ADR-XXX]
An ADR should never be deleted. If a decision is reversed, create a new ADR that supersedes it and update the old one's status.
MCMAP-Specific Considerations
When documenting decisions for this project, always evaluate:
- Impact on Dataverse schema (entities, attributes, OptionSets)
- Impact on Copilot Studio agent instructions (CRLF limits, plain text compliance)
- Impact on solution packaging and import pipeline
- Impact on multi-agent orchestration (12 agents, flow routing)
- Deployment branch implications (personal/mastercard/corporate)
