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__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store with:

    • key: mem:ADR-NNN
    • tier: semantic
    • value: a JSON-encoded string: { "id": "ADR-NNN", "title": "<title>", "status": "proposed", "date": "<today>", "file": "docs/adr/ADR-NNN-<slug>.md" }
  5. Find related ADRs -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search with the title as query in namespace adr-patterns to find related decisions. If matches are found, add them to the Links section and call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge for each relationship with:

    • sourceId: mem:ADR-NNN
    • targetId: mem:ADR-RELATED
    • relation: depends-on
  6. Store pattern -- Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__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.
