+# Architectural Decision Record (ADR)
+
+This template document outlines the format for recording architectural decisions made during the development of the Open Mic Odyssey Bot. Each decision should be documented in a separate ADR file within the `docs/architecture_decisions` directory, following the structure below.
+
+## ADR Template
+
+### Title
+
+A concise title for the architectural decision.
+
+### Status
+
+The current status of the decision (e.g., Proposed, Accepted, Rejected, Deprecated).
+
+### Context
+
+A detailed description of the context in which the decision is being made. This should include any relevant background information, constraints, and considerations that influenced the decision.
+
+### Decision
+
+A clear statement of the architectural decision that has been made. This should be specific and actionable.
+
+### Consequences
+
+An analysis of the consequences of the decision, including any trade-offs, benefits, and potential drawbacks. This section should also discuss how the decision impacts other parts of the system and any future implications.
+
+### Example ADR
+
+```markdown
+# ADR-001: Discord.js over Discord.py
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Context:** Node.js and Python both viable. Team has stronger Node.js experience.
+**Decision:** Use Discord.js for the bot runtime.
+**Consequences:** Faster development velocity; ecosystem rich with community plugins (command handling, modals, components).
+```
+
+### Guidelines for Writing ADRs
+
+- Be clear and concise in your writing.
+- Ensure that the context and consequences are well thought out and provide enough detail for future reference.
+- Use a consistent format for all ADRs to maintain readability and organization.
+- Regularly review and update ADRs as the project evolves and new information becomes available.
+- Encourage team members to contribute to ADRs and discuss architectural decisions openly to foster collaboration and shared understanding.
