CE ADR Author

Use this skill for any architectural record work in docs/improvement/adrs/.

Core assets

assets/adr_template.md - canonical ADR template (copy this first).
docs/improvement/adrs/ - authoritative ADR directory.
docs/improvement/RELEASE_PLAN_v1.md - roadmap entry that must stay aligned.

Workflow

Determine whether this is a new ADR or an update to an existing ADR.
For new ADRs, calculate the next ADR number:

Get-ChildItem docs/improvement/adrs/ADR-*.md |
  ForEach-Object { [int]($_.Name -replace 'ADR-(\d+).*','$1') } |
  Measure-Object -Maximum | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Maximum

Copy the template asset to the target file:

Copy-Item .claude/skills/ce-adr-author/assets/adr_template.md `
  docs/improvement/adrs/ADR-<NNN>-<kebab-slug>.md

Fill every required field and section in the template. Keep language normative when needed (MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD).
Add/validate Related: ADR links and update references to superseded ADRs.
If the decision changes implementation sequencing, add a one-line summary in docs/improvement/RELEASE_PLAN_v1.md under ADR roadmap summary.
If status changes to Superseded, rename the replaced ADR with superseded prefix and set Superseded-by.

Status lifecycle

Status	Meaning
`Draft`	Under review; not yet binding
`Accepted`	Binding and enforceable
`Accepted (scoped)`	Binding only for explicit scope
`Deprecated`	Visible but replaced guidance exists
`Superseded`	Replaced by newer ADR

Required quality checks

Filename uses ADR-<NNN>-<kebab-slug>.md.
Template sections are complete (Context, Decision, Alternatives, Consequences, Adoption, Open Questions).
At least two alternatives are documented with rejection rationale.
Decision text states enforceable constraints clearly.
Related: entries point to real ADR files.
Release-plan linkage is updated when applicable.

Output contract

Return:

ADR file path and status.
Summary of decision and alternatives.
Any companion updates made to RELEASE_PLAN_v1.md.
