Architecture Decision Record (ADR) Prompts
Architecture Decision Record (ADR) Prompts
Prompt playbooks for generating, reviewing, and comparing architecture decision records. Useful for engineering leads and architects because they need structured, traceable decision documentation that captures context, options, trade-offs, and rationale before implementation begins.
ADR Generation Prompt Template
For architects and engineering leads who need to produce a complete, structured ADR from raw notes. Generates a document with context, decision, options considered, trade-offs, and consequences. Includes schema validation checks for required sections and rationale completeness.
ADR Review Prompt for Architecture Decisions
For peer reviewers and architects evaluating a draft ADR before approval. Produces a structured review with clarity issues, missing options, unstated assumptions, and weak rationale. Includes eval criteria for review actionability and false-positive rate.
ADR Comparison Prompt for Trade-Off Analysis
For technical decision makers comparing two or more ADRs or architectural options side by side. Produces a trade-off matrix across dimensions like cost, latency, complexity, operability, and team fit. Includes checks for balanced coverage and advocacy bias detection.
Context Extraction Prompt for ADR
For architects who need to extract the problem context, constraints, and stakeholder concerns from meeting notes, design docs, or incident reports. Produces a structured context summary ready for ADR drafting. Includes completeness checks against known constraint categories.
Decision Options Enumeration Prompt
For architects who need to generate a comprehensive list of architectural options before narrowing. Produces a catalog of alternatives with brief descriptions, including non-obvious and status-quo options. Includes coverage checks to prevent premature convergence on a single path.
ADR Validation Checklist Prompt
For teams enforcing ADR quality standards before merge. Produces a pass/fail checklist with specific criteria for each ADR section, rationale depth, and traceability. Includes harness integration for CI/CD gates and automated compliance scoring.
ADR Consistency Check Prompt
For architects maintaining a repository of ADRs who need to detect conflicts between decisions. Produces a conflict report identifying contradictory choices, incompatible constraints, or decisions that undermine each other. Includes pairwise comparison logic and severity classification.
ADR Gap Analysis Prompt
For engineering leads auditing a system's decision coverage. Produces a gap report identifying architectural concerns with no recorded decision, stale decisions, or areas where ADRs are missing. Includes prioritization by risk and implementation proximity.
ADR Summary Prompt for Executives
For architects who need to communicate decisions to non-technical stakeholders. Produces a concise executive summary with decision, impact, risks, and timeline implications. Includes tone and abstraction-level checks for audience appropriateness.
ADR Anti-Pattern Detection Prompt
For reviewers and architects identifying common ADR failure modes. Produces a flagged-issue report detecting patterns like decision-by-default, missing trade-offs, unstated assumptions, and rationalization-after-the-fact. Includes pattern library with examples and severity ratings.
ADR Risk Assessment Prompt
For architects who need to surface and document risks associated with a decision. Produces a risk register with likelihood, impact, mitigation options, and acceptance rationale. Includes checks for risk omission and overconfidence in mitigation claims.
ADR Assumption Documentation Prompt
For teams that need to make implicit assumptions explicit before a decision is finalized. Produces a structured assumption log with validation criteria, owners, and expiration conditions. Includes checks for hidden assumptions that could invalidate the decision if proven false.
ADR Dependency Mapping Prompt
For architects tracing how decisions depend on or constrain each other across an ADR repository. Produces a dependency graph showing prerequisite decisions, blocked decisions, and change propagation paths. Includes cycle detection and impact radius estimation.
ADR Superseding Prompt Template
For architects who need to replace or update an existing ADR with a new decision. Produces a superseding ADR that references the original, explains what changed, and captures migration implications. Includes traceability checks to the original decision and affected downstream ADRs.
ADR Status Update Prompt Template
For teams tracking ADR lifecycle from proposed to accepted to deprecated. Produces a status change record with rationale, impact assessment, and notification guidance. Includes state machine validation to prevent invalid transitions.
ADR Quality Scoring Rubric Prompt
For teams that need consistent, automated quality scoring across an ADR repository. Produces a scored evaluation with dimension-level breakdowns for clarity, completeness, rationale strength, and traceability. Includes calibration checks against human reviewer scores.
ADR Stakeholder Impact Analysis Prompt
For architects who need to assess how a decision affects different teams, systems, and roles. Produces an impact matrix with affected parties, change severity, communication needs, and migration burden. Includes coverage checks for commonly overlooked stakeholders.
ADR Compliance Mapping Prompt
For architects in regulated environments who need to map decisions to compliance requirements. Produces a traceability matrix linking ADR sections to specific regulatory controls, standards, or policy requirements. Includes gap detection for unmet compliance obligations.
ADR Build vs Buy Decision Prompt
For technical decision makers evaluating whether to build a capability in-house or adopt an external solution. Produces a structured comparison across cost, control, maintenance burden, team capability, and strategic fit. Includes bias checks for NIH syndrome and vendor lock-in risk.
ADR Technology Selection Prompt
For architects choosing between specific technologies, frameworks, or platforms for a defined need. Produces a scored evaluation matrix with weighted criteria, evidence from documentation or prototypes, and explicit trade-off rationale. Includes checks for criteria completeness and score justification quality.
