+# Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
+
+## What is an ADR?
+
+An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a document that captures a significant architectural decision made in the project, along with its context, consequences, and rationale.
+
+## When to Write an ADR
+
+Write an ADR when you are making a decision that:
+
+- Affects the overall architecture of the system
+- Is difficult to reverse
+- Has significant implications for future development
+- Involves trade-offs between multiple alternatives
+- Is a departure from previous practices or standards
+
+Examples include:
+- Choosing a new technology or framework
+- Designing a major component or module
+- Defining coding standards or conventions
+- Making changes to data storage or API design
+
+## How to Write an ADR
+
+1. **Copy the template**  
+   Copy `docs/architecture-decision-records/template.md` to a new file.
+
+2. **Name the file**  
+   Follow the format: `ADR-XXX-short-title.md` (e.g., `ADR-001-use-prisma-for-database-access.md`)
+
+3. **Fill out the template**  
+   - Fill in all sections with clear, concise information
+   - Use numbered prefixes for easy ordering and reference
+   - Link to related issues, PRs, and documentation
+
+4. **Review and approve**  
+   Share the ADR with the team for review and discussion
+
+5. **Update status**  
+   Once approved, set the status to "Accepted"
+
+## ADR Lifecycle
+
+- **Proposed:** Decision is being considered and reviewed
+- **Accepted:** Decision has been approved and is being implemented
+- **Deprecated:** Decision is no longer in use
+- **Superseded by ADR-YYY:** Decision has been replaced by another ADR
