Ascent ADR Write

Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Guides writing a new Architectural Decision Record in the canonical ASCENT format: Context, Decision, Alternatives considered, Consequences (Easier/Harder/Neutral), and Cost implications. Assigns the next ADR number, creates the file, and updates INDEX.md.

From the source SKILL.md

Guides the creation of a new ADR for <<PROJECT_TITLE>> using the canonical five-section template. Handles numbering, file creation, and INDEX.md updates so the developer focuses on the decision content rather than the format ceremony. Writes are atomic — the ADR file and its INDEX.md row land together or not at all. Per the adr-template reference module, every section is required; an ADR missing a section is incomplete.
