Tech Stack ADR Workflow

Guide technology selection from discovery to ADR documentation.

Workflow

1. Requirements    → Clarify what user needs
2. Discovery       → tech-stack-discoverer agent finds candidates
3. Evaluation      → tech-stack-evaluator agents (parallel) assess each
4. Comparison      → Present results, discuss trade-offs
5. Decision        → User decides
6. ADR             → Write to docs/adr/YYYYMMDD-<topic>.md
7. Review          → tech-stack-adr-reviewer validates ADR content

Phase 1: Requirements

Ask user:

• What problem are you solving?
• Any constraints? (must integrate with X, no large dependencies, etc.)
• Any candidates already in mind?

Phase 2: Discovery

Launch tech-stack-discoverer agent with requirements.

Task: Find candidates for {requirement}
Requirements:
- {requirement 1}
- {requirement 2}

Phase 3: Evaluation

Launch tech-stack-evaluator agents in parallel for ALL candidates found in Phase 2.

Do NOT filter or narrow down candidates. Evaluate every single one.

Task: Evaluate {technology} for {use case}
Context: {brief project context}

Phase 4: Comparison

Aggregate results into comparison table using criteria from docs/adr/evaluation-criteria.md.

Discuss trade-offs with user.

Phase 5: Decision

User decides. Confirm:

• Chosen option
• Key reasons
• Accepted trade-offs

Phase 6: ADR

Write ADR to docs/adr/YYYYMMDD-<topic>.md using docs/adr/TEMPLATE.md.

Reference the ADR in related spec if applicable.

Phase 7: Review

Launch tech-stack-adr-reviewer agent to validate ADR content.

If violations found, fix and re-run review until PASS.
