# 1. Record Architecture Decisions

**Status:** Accepted

## Context

We need to record the architectural decisions made on this project to preserve
context for future contributors and our future selves.

## Decision

We will use Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) in the format described by
Michael Nygard. Each ADR describes a single decision with its context and
consequences.

ADRs are stored in `docs/explanations/decisions/` and numbered sequentially.

## Consequences

- Decisions are documented and searchable
- New contributors can understand why things are the way they are
- Small overhead per decision (one markdown file)
