Architecture templates
Templates for capturing and deciding architecture.
| Template | Purpose | Output path | Agent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current State | Reconstructed architecture baseline | architecture/current-state.md | architecture-agent |
| Architecture Notes | Working notes, not yet decided | architecture/architecture-notes.md | — |
| Decision Candidates | Candidate decisions for review | architecture/decision-candidates.md | adr-agent |
| ADR | A single accepted decision | architecture/decisions/ | — |
Current State
Components, data & integrations, cross-cutting concerns, known gaps and assumptions —
the baseline architecture-agent reconstructs from the context pack.
Architecture Notes
Explicitly non-binding: topic, context, options and what you are leaning towards. Promote into a Decision Candidate or ADR when ready.
Decision Candidates
DC-001 entries with context, options, recommended option and trade-offs. Promote
accepted candidates into individual ADRs.
ADR
Front matter (id, status, date). Sections: Status · Context · Decision ·
Consequences (including downsides) · Alternatives considered. Install the adr module
with kaddo add adr to create them as work items.
