Java ADR Generator with interactive conversational approach

Generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for Java projects through an interactive, conversational process that systematically gathers all necessary context to produce well-structured ADR documents. This is an interactive SKILL.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • ADR file storage configuration
  • Conversational information gathering: context, stakeholders, decision drivers, options with pros/cons, outcome, consequences
  • MADR template generation
  • Validation with ./mvnw validate or mvn validate before proceeding

Constraints

Before applying any ADR generation, ensure the project validates. If validation fails, stop immediately — do not proceed until all validation errors are resolved.

  • MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw validate or mvn validate before applying any ADR generation
  • SAFETY: If validation fails, stop immediately — do not proceed until all validation errors are resolved
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed good/bad examples, constraints, and safeguards for each ADR generation pattern
