Design: Record DRR (E.9)

1. Context

This skill implements Pattern E.9 (Design-Rationale Record Method). It captures the "Why" behind architectural changes, providing immutable history and evolutionary context.

2. Metadata

• ID: design/record-drr
• Role: U.RoleAssignment(Archivist)
• Standard: E.9, A.10

3. Instructions

3.1 Input Requirements

1. Context: The affected system or domain.
2. Title: Short summary of the decision.
3. Status: Proposed, Accepted, Deprecated, Rejected.
4. Context (Problem): What is the issue?
5. Decision: What are we doing?
6. Consequences: What becomes easier? What becomes harder? (Trade-offs).

3.2 Output Artifact

Generate a Markdown file (The DRR) following the ADR (Architecture Decision Record) format:

• Filename: [NNN]-[kebab-title].md (where NNN is a sequential number).

• Structure:

  Copy# [NNN] [Title]
  
  ## Status
  [Status] on [Date]
  
  ## Context
  [Description of the problem/force]
  
  ## Decision
  [Description of the solution]
  
  ## Consequences
  [Positive and Negative effects]
  

3.4 Execution Steps

1. Index: Find the next sequential number in the design/decisions/ directory.
2. Draft: Create the file with the strict headers.
3. Commit: (Implicit) The file is written to disk.
