Record Decision

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: databases

Append a new Architecture Decision Record (ADR) to the repo with an auto-incremented number and the MADR template. TRIGGER when the user says "record this decision", "log this decision", "add an ADR for X", "create an ADR about Y", "record the choice to use Postgres", "write up this decision", "document this as an ADR", "/nyann:record-decision". Do NOT trigger on "write a doc" / "add documentation" (those are broader — route to the appropriate doc skill). Do NOT trigger on "record a bug" / "open an issue" (those are GitHub concerns). Do NOT trigger on "what decisions have we made" (that's reading existing ADRs, not creating one).
