| description | Draft a new agentic-evalkit ADR that passes tests/contract/test_adrs.py on the first run — correct filename, seven-heading template in canonical order, Accepted status, and no phrases contradicting standing decisions. Use when asked to write, add, or record an ADR or architecture decision. |
Write an ADR
tests/contract/test_adrs.py structurally enforces every ADR in this repo.
Follow these steps and the new ADR passes the contract test on the first run.
Steps
-
Number and name. Take the next free four-digit prefix under
docs/adr/ and name the file NNNN-kebab-case-title.md. Exactly one
file may match NNNN-*.md — never reuse or pad an existing prefix.
-
Copy the template from references/adr-template.md and fill every
section. The seven headings, in this exact order, are mandatory:
## Status, ## Context, ## Decision, ## Alternatives,
## Consequences, ## Validation, ## Supersession.
-
Status wording matters. ## Status must be followed by the single
word Accepted on its own line — the contract test extracts the first
non-whitespace token after the heading and compares it exactly. This
project records ADRs at acceptance time (no Draft/Proposed states).
-
Do not contradict standing decisions. The test scans all ADRs
(normalized, lowercased) and fails on any of these phrases: "may import
agentic_v2", "may import executionkit", "may import tools.agents",
"huggingface is an optional extra", "huggingface support requires an
extra", "trust_remote_code=true". Discuss alternatives without asserting
them in those words.
-
Cite validation evidence. The ## Validation section names the
tests/commands that prove the decision holds (see any existing ADR for
the style — each cites its governing contract or unit tests).
-
Register the ADR. Add the new prefix to REQUIRED_ADR_PREFIXES in
tests/contract/test_adrs.py (the tuple is an explicit allowlist) and
add a nav entry under the ADRs section of mkdocs.yml so the strict
docs build publishes it.
-
Verify:
uv run pytest tests/contract/test_adrs.py -v
uv run mkdocs build --strict
