Write Own MADR Tooling

Context and Problem Statement

Developers seem to like tooling to create ADRs. That tooling should support MADR. The tooling should be easy to install.

Considered Options

• Include in adr-tools, 924 stars as of 2018-06-14
• Include in adr-j, 2 stars as of 2018-06-14
• Include in adr, 72 stars as of 2018-06-14
• Write own MADR tooling
• No tool support

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: “Write own MADR tooling”, because

• adding MADR support to adr-tools was rejected
• other tooling seem to a) modify MADR or b) do not keep up with changes on MADR.

We accept that this comes with maintenance cost.
