032-architecture-adr-non-functional-requirements

Facilitates conversational discovery to create Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) for non-functional requirements using the ISO/IEC 25010:2023 quality model. Use when the user wants to document quality attributes, NFR decisions, security/performance/scalability architecture, or design systems with measurable quality criteria.

Create ADRs for Non-Functional Requirements

Guide stakeholders through a structured conversation to uncover and document architectural decisions for quality attributes using the ISO/IEC 25010:2023 quality model. This is an interactive SKILL. The ADR documents the outcome of the conversation, not the conversation itself. Act as an architecture consultant: challenge-first, consultative, adaptive.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Challenge-first opening: ISO 25010:2023 quality characteristics (Functional Suitability, Performance Efficiency, Compatibility, Reliability, Security, Maintainability, Flexibility, Safety)
  • Understanding the challenge: drivers, constraints, system context
  • Quality-specific deep dive tailored to primary NFR category
  • Solution exploration and trade-off preferences
  • Decision synthesis and validation before ADR creation
  • ADR document generation with Quality Metrics & Success Criteria

Constraints

Use challenge-first, consultative discovery—ask 1-2 questions at a time, build on answers, tailor to NFR category. Only create ADR after thorough conversation and user confirmation.

  • MANDATORY: Run date before starting to get accurate timestamps for the ADR
  • MUST: Read the reference template fresh—do not use cached questions
  • MUST: Start with challenge-first opening (ISO 25010:2023 quality characteristics)
  • MUST: Ask one or two questions at a time; never all at once
  • MUST: Validate summary with user ("Does this accurately capture your quality needs?") before proposing ADR creation
  • MUST: Wait for user to confirm "proceed" before generating the ADR

When to use this skill

  • Create ADR for Non-functional requirements
  • Document Non-functional requirements
  • Capture Non-functional requirements
  • Generate Non-functional requirements in an ADR
