Reference: ADR Codes Legend

Use these codes for structured ADR sections. Each code is followed by a zero-padded number (e.g., CTR-001).

  • CTR-###: Context item
  • DEC-###: Decision statement
  • POS-###: Positive consequence
  • NEG-###: Negative consequence
  • ALT-###: Alternative considered
  • IMP-###: Implementation note
  • CHG-###: Change propagation step
  • REF-###: Reference entry

These codes are now required by .github/prompts/author-adr.prompt.md and used in ADRs (see docs/adr/).
