Use when making an architectural decision, changing a public API, shipping a feature, or recording a codebase term. Not for domain language: use domain-modeling. Not for docs: use docs-writing.

# Docs and ADRs
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Making an architectural decision, changing a public API, shipping a user-facing feature, capturing context for future engineers and agents, or a codebase term resolving |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only the documentation artifacts listed under Side effect, inside the current project working tree; rollback is version control. No remote mutation. Nothing is committed, staged, published, or pushed. |
| Side effect | ADR, README, API/JSDoc/OpenAPI docs, inline comments, changelog and agent-rules files; deletions are limited to commented-out code |
| Done | ADR exists for each significant decision, README/API/inline gotchas accurate, no commented-out code, agent rules current, each resolved codebase term routed to domain-modeling |
## Inputs
- Required: the decision, API change, feature, or context that fired the trigger, with the rationale and constraints the user can supply.
