Architecture Decision Record System

Stand up a working ADR practice for your team: diagnose which decisions are undocumented, author complete decision records with forced tradeoff scoring, reversibility ratings, and captured dissent, then sequence the backlog and run a recurring decision-review cadence. Works in any chat model — no connected tools.

A 4-step agentic workflow pack for coding built to run with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Open the Markdown files, fill the variables, and paste into your model. Most buyers get a reviewable result in about 15 minutes.

  • Baseline your team's decision-recording gaps and get a prioritized backlog of decisions worth documenting
  • Author complete architecture decision records with a weighted tradeoff matrix instead of hand-waved pros and cons
  • Score every decision as a one-way or two-way door so reversible calls move fast and irreversible ones get scrutiny
  • Capture and preserve dissent on the record so objections survive team turnover and later reviews
  • Sequence the documentation backlog into waves by reversibility, blast radius, and deadline pressure
  • Run a recurring ADR review cadence with named owners, superseding rules, and re-open triggers
  • Get the same structured result across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini with no connected tools required

FAQ

How long does it take to use Architecture Decision Record System?
Most buyers finish in a few minutes: open the prompt file, fill the variables, and paste into your model. The first run is the slowest because you decide variable values; reuse is instant.
What if I get stuck?
Email support@promptscart.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you'll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If you need help adapting variables or output, we can schedule a call.
Do I need a paid plan with ChatGPT?
The prompt works on free tiers of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Heavy use can hit free-tier limits; paid plans get longer context and faster responses, but the prompt itself is the value.
Can I customize the prompt?
Yes, completely. You own the prompt files: edit the role framing, add variables, swap output sections, fork it to match your brand voice. Support can help you plan customizations over email.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Refund as per our Refund Policy (https://promptscart.com/refund-policy). Or add Prompt Customization Service at checkout for help adapting variables and output to your workflow.
