# 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.
