Create an ADR:
workbench.ps1 doc new --type adr --title "Decision title" --path decisions/ADR-YYYY-MM-DD-title.md --work-item WI-WB-0001
Link existing docs to a work item:
workbench.ps1 item link WI-WB-0001 --spec /overview/spec.md --adr /decisions/ADR-YYYY-MM-DD-title.md
Sync backlinks:
workbench.ps1 doc sync --all
Output
- Architecture docs and ADRs with consistent front matter.
- Work items that reference related specs and ADRs.
