Voice to Text for Architecture Decisions
Log Architecture Decisions Before the Debate Fades
ADRs fail when writing them feels optional. Speak context, choice, and consequences into Voiskey. Free to start.
Why Decisions Vanish
The room agreed. Nobody wanted to be the person who types the record. Six months later the why is folklore.
Dictating an ADR right after the call is the cheapest insurance your future team will get.
An ADR Spine You Can Speak
State the status, context, decision, and consequences. Keep rejected options short but real.
ADR spine:
- Title and status
- Context and forces
- Decision
- Consequences and follow-ups
