A command-line tool for working with a log of Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). ADRs are stored in a subdirectory of your project as Markdown files. The default directory is doc/adr, but you can specify the directory when you initialize the ADR log. Create a directory named doc/architecture/decisions containing the first ADR, which records that you are using ADRs to record architectural decisions and links to Michael Nygard's article on the subject. Create a new ADR file that is flagged as superceding ADR 9, and changes the status of ADR 9 to indicate that it is superceded by the new ADR. It then opens the new ADR in your editor of choice.
