adr-create

Create ADR

Create a new Architecture Decision Record with the next sequential number, register it in the AgentDB graph, and link it to related ADRs.

When to use

When a significant architectural decision needs to be recorded -- new technology adoption, API design choices, data model changes, infrastructure decisions, or any cross-cutting concern that affects multiple components.

Steps

1. Find next number -- Glob for docs/adr/ADR-*.md and parse existing numbers to determine the next sequential ID (ADR-001, ADR-002, etc.). Create docs/adr/ if it does not exist.

2. Slugify title -- Convert the title argument to a lowercase, hyphen-separated slug (e.g., "Use PostgreSQL for persistence" becomes use-postgresql-for-persistence).

3. Create ADR file -- Write the file at docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md using the standard template:

   # ADR-NNN: <Title>
   
   - **Status**: proposed
   - **Date**: <today's date YYYY-MM-DD>
   - **Deciders**: <leave blank for author to fill>
   - **Tags**: <leave blank>
   
   ## Context
   
   <!-- What is the issue that motivates this decision? -->
   
   ## Decision
   
   <!-- What is the change that we are proposing? -->
   
   ## Consequences
   
   ### Positive
   -
   
   ### Negative
   -
   
   ### Neutral
   -
   
   ## Links
   

4. Store in AgentDB -- Call mcp__swarmdo__agentdb_hierarchical-store with:

   • path: adr/ADR-NNN
   • value: { "id": "ADR-NNN", "title": "<title>", "status": "proposed", "date": "<today>", "file": "docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md" }

5. Find related ADRs -- Call mcp__swarmdo__memory_search with the title as query in namespace adr-patterns to find related decisions. If matches found, add them to the Links section and create causal edges with relation depends-on.

6. Store pattern -- Call mcp__swarmdo__memory_store in namespace adr-patterns with key ADR-NNN and the title + context as value for future semantic search.

7. Report -- Output the created file path, ADR number, and any related ADRs found.
