+
+## Example: Document System Architecture and Decisions
+
+**Task:** Document system architecture and maintain decision traceability
+
+**Context:**
+- Stack: Any (documentation-agnostic)
+- Architecture: Any
+- Domain: Any
+- Mode: Existing
+
+**Activated Skills (4):**
+1. `documentation_structure_skill` — Stack skill
+2. `architecture_documentation_skill` — Architecture skill
+3. `traceability_matrix_skill` — Architecture skill
+4. `knowledge_synthesis_skill` — Operational skill
+
+**Decisions Made:**
+
+### Decision 1: Architecture Documentation Structure
+
+**Context:** Need organized architecture documentation
+
+**Options Considered:**
+1. Single ARCHITECTURE.md file
+2. Folder with multiple documents
+3. Wiki-based documentation
+4. Diagrams-as-code approach
+
+**Decision:** Folder with multiple documents + diagrams-as-code
+
+**Rationale:** Scalable organization, version-controlled diagrams, easy navigation
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- ✅ Pros: Organized, searchable, versioned diagrams
+- ❌ Cons: More files to manage
+
+**Skills Applied:** `documentation_structure_skill`, `architecture_documentation_skill`
+
+**Impact:** Architecture docs organized in `docs/architecture/` folder
+
+### Decision 2: Decision Record Format
+
+**Context:** Need consistent format for architecture decisions
+
+**Options Considered:**
+1. Simple markdown with sections
+2. ADR (Architecture Decision Record) template
+3. MADR (Markdown Architecture Decision Record)
+4. Custom structured format
+
+**Decision:** MADR template with enhancements
+
+**Rationale:** Standard format, includes status tracking, linkable records
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- ✅ Pros: Standard format, status tracking, relationships
+- ❌ Cons: More verbose than simple format
+
+**Skills Applied:** `traceability_matrix_skill`, `documentation_structure_skill`
+
+**Impact:** All decisions recorded in `docs/adr/` with MADR format
+
+**Artifacts Produced:**
+- `docs/architecture/overview.md` — Architecture overview
+- `docs/architecture/components.md` — Component documentation
+- `docs/architecture/decisions/` — ADR folder
+- `docs/adr/001-record-format.md` — ADR format decision
+- `TRACEABILITY.md` — Traceability matrix
+- `STATE.md` — Updated project state
+
+**Verification Status:**
+- [x] State is accurately tracked
+- [x] Documentation is complete
+- [x] Traceability is maintained
+- [x] Decision log complete
+- [x] Skills alignment verified
+- [x] Skill consistency validation passed
