+# Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
+
+This directory holds the org-wide ADR template. ADRs record significant,
+hard-to-reverse technical or architectural decisions — not routine changes.
+
+## When to write an ADR
+
+Write one when a decision:
+
+- Changes a public contract (kernel API, CLI, schema, workflow interface)
+- Introduces, replaces, or retires a dependency, provider, or kernel
+- Establishes a convention other repos/teams are expected to follow
+- Reverses or supersedes a prior decision
+
+Skip it for routine bug fixes, dependency bumps, or anything reversible with a
+single PR revert.
+
+## How to use this template
+
+1. Copy [`template.md`](./template.md) into **your repository's own**
+   `docs/adr/` directory (this `.github` repo only hosts the template; ADRs
+   themselves are recorded per-repo, next to the code they govern).
+2. Name the file `docs/adr/NNNN-short-title.md`, using the next sequential
+   4-digit number for that repo.
+3. Fill in every section. Leave `Considered Options` even if only one option
+   was viable — record *why* alternatives were rejected.
+4. Set `Status: Proposed` and open a PR. Reviewers should not approve a
+   status change to `Accepted` without discussion of the tradeoffs section.
+5. If a later ADR reverses this one, do not delete the old file — set its
+   status to `Superseded by ADR-NNNN` and link both directions.
+
+## Relationship to CANONICAL_LAW.md
+
+ADRs are decision *history* (why we chose X over Y, and when). They do not
+replace or override [`CANONICAL_LAW.md`](https://github.com/Quantum-L9/Cursor-Governance/blob/main/CANONICAL_LAW.md),
+which is the current, binding policy source of truth. If an ADR's outcome
+changes a rule in `CANONICAL_LAW.md`, that document must be updated in the
+same PR — the ADR records the reasoning, `CANONICAL_LAW.md` records the rule.

+# ADR-NNNN: <Short noun phrase describing the decision>
+
+<!--
+Copy this file to docs/adr/NNNN-short-title.md in the repo where the decision
+is made, using the next sequential ADR number (zero-padded, 4 digits).
+One decision per ADR. Keep it short — this is a durable record, not a design doc.
+-->
+
+## Status
+
+<!-- One of: Proposed | Accepted | Rejected | Deprecated | Superseded by ADR-NNNN -->
+Proposed
+
+**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
+**Deciders:** <!-- names or @handles -->
+**Related:** <!-- links to issues, PRs, or other ADRs -->
+
+---
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+<!--
+What is the issue we're seeing that is motivating this decision or change?
+Describe the forces at play (technical, business, organizational) in
+value-neutral language. 2-4 sentences is usually enough.
+-->
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+<!-- Bullet the key factors that matter for this choice. -->
+
+- <!-- driver 1, e.g. "must not break @v1 kernel consumers" -->
+- <!-- driver 2 -->
+- <!-- driver 3 -->
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. <!-- Option A -->
+2. <!-- Option B -->
+3. <!-- Option C -->
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+**Chosen option:** "<!-- Option X -->", because <!-- justification: e.g. only
+option that satisfies driver 2 without a breaking change -->.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good, because <!-- e.g. positive consequence -->
+- Bad, because <!-- e.g. negative consequence / tradeoff accepted -->
+- Neutral, because <!-- e.g. side effect that is neither good nor bad -->
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+<!-- Optional. Fill in only if the tradeoffs need more than the Decision Outcome section. -->
+
+### <!-- Option A -->
+
+- Good, because <!-- ... -->
+- Bad, because <!-- ... -->
+
+### <!-- Option B -->
+
+- Good, because <!-- ... -->
+- Bad, because <!-- ... -->
+
+## Links
+
+<!-- e.g. "Supersedes ADR-0003", "Related to Quantum-L9/l9-ci-core#42" -->
