# Decision Documentation

## Overview

Document significant architectural and technical decisions as Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). Can be invoked at any point during the RPI workflow.

## When to Use

- Making a significant architectural choice
- Choosing between competing approaches
- Documenting a decision for future reference
- Recording rationale that would otherwise be lost

## ADR Format

- **Title**: Clear description of the decision
- **Status**: Proposed, Accepted, Deprecated, Superseded
- **Context**: Why this decision is needed
- **Options**: Alternatives considered with pros/cons
- **Decision**: The chosen option with rationale
- **Consequences**: Expected positive and negative outcomes

## Output

ADRs are written to `docs/decisions/` with sequential numbering (e.g., `0001-use-typescript.md`).

## Tool Use
