Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

Guide

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

The home for one-off architectural decisions (per “one home per decision”, CONTRIBUTING.md). Durable behavioral rules live in CLAUDE.md (Golden Rules); policies live in hr/policies/. ADRs cross-link to those; they never duplicate.

Each ADR (ADR-####) is immutable once accepted; supersede with a new ADR.
