- **Documentation Style:**
53
- - EXTREMELY SUCCINCT — each ADR should be under 30 lines
54
- - NO FLUFF — every sentence must convey a decision, reason, or consequence
55
- - Bullet points for alternatives and consequences
56
- - Code references as `file-path:ClassName` only when the decision is about specific code

- **Status:**
64
- - `Accepted` — the decision is in effect
65
- - `Superseded by ADR-MMM` — replaced by a later decision (link to it)
66
- - ADRs are IMMUTABLE — never edit an accepted ADR. Create a new one that supersedes it.
67
-
68
- **Context:**
69
- - 2-3 sentences. What problem or situation forced a choice.
70
- - Reference the system or pattern this decision affects.
71
-
72
- **Decision:**
73
- - 2-3 sentences. What was chosen and at what scope.
74
- - Be specific — "We use X for Y" not "We decided to improve things."
75
-
76
- **Alternatives Considered:**
77
- - List each rejected alternative with ONE sentence explaining why.
78
- - If there were no meaningful alternatives, omit this section.

-
80
- **Consequences:**
81

- **When NOT to create an ADR:**

5
+
6
+ Each guide combines knowledge from multiple systems, patterns, and cross-cutting concerns
7
+ into one actionable recipe. It is the document an AI agent follows when performing a
8
+ recurring task end-to-end.
9
+
10
+ A "guide" is a task recipe for something developers do repeatedly:
11
+ e.g., "How to Add a New Drawing Tool", "How to Add a New CRUD Endpoint",
12
+ "How to Add a New Indicator", "How to Add a New Repository".
13

+ Complements:
15
+ - patterns/ docs (the structural patterns that guides reference)
16
+ - systems/ docs (the domain systems where guide steps take place)
17
+ - cross-cutting/ docs (the registrations and setup that guides include as steps)

26
+ ## Prerequisites
27
+
28
+ What you need to know or have in place before starting.
29
+ - Read: [Pattern Doc](../patterns/relevant-pattern.md) — understand the structural pattern
30
+ - Read: [System Doc](../systems/relevant-system.md) — understand the domain context
31
+ - Read: [Cross-Cutting Doc](../cross-cutting/relevant-concern.md) — understand registrations
32
+ </prerequisites>

35
+ ## Steps
36
+
37
+ ### 1. [First Step]
38
+
39
+ What to do, where to do it, reference implementation to copy from.
40
+ - Create file: `[path]`
41
+ - Copy from: `file:ExistingImplementation` (closest reference)
42
+ - Key changes: [what to modify from the reference]
43
+
44
+ ### 2. [Second Step]
45
+
46
+ ...
47

71
+ <guidelines>
72
+
73
+ **Documentation Style:**
74
+ - EXTREMELY SUCCINCT — every word must add value
75
+ - NO FLUFF — direct, actionable information only
76
+ - Numbered steps — the agent follows these in order
77
+ - Code references as `file-path:ClassName.methodName` (not line numbers)
78
+ - Inline snippets ONLY for non-obvious configuration or registration code
79
+ - Every step must have a clear deliverable (a file created, a registration added, etc.)
80
+
81
+ **Prerequisites:**
82
+ - Link to the docs an agent should read BEFORE starting.
83
+ - Don't repeat content from those docs — just link.
84
+ - List any tools, dependencies, or environment requirements.
85
+
86
+ **Steps:**
87
+ - NUMBERED, ORDERED steps. An agent follows these sequentially.
88
+ - Each step has: WHAT to do, WHERE to do it, WHAT to copy from.
89
+ - Reference existing implementations as "copy from" targets — agents copy patterns, not invent.
90
+ - Include ALL steps: file creation, registration, configuration, wiring.
91
+ - Don't skip "obvious" steps — agents don't infer implicit requirements.
92
+
93
+ **Verification:**
94
+ - Checklist format. Agent runs through these after completing all steps.
95
+ - Include compilation check, runtime check, and behavioral check.
96
+ - Reference specific files or commands for verification.
97
+
98
+ **Common Mistakes:**
99
+ - Things agents (and developers) typically get wrong on first attempt.
100
+ - Each mistake should include WHY it happens and HOW to avoid it.
101
+ - Drawn from actual experience (gotchas from pattern and system docs).
102
+
103
+ **What does NOT belong here:**
104
+ - Detailed pattern explanations (link to patterns/ docs instead)
105
+ - System domain knowledge (link to systems/ docs instead)
106
+ - Cross-cutting mechanism details (link to cross-cutting/ docs instead)
107
+ - Story numbers, sprint context, revision history
108
+ - Testing strategy or test code (verification section covers basic checks only)
109
+
110
+ </guidelines>
111
+
112
+ <evolution>
113
+
114
+ This is a LIVING document — updated when the recipe changes.
115
+
116
+ **Update triggers:**
117
+ - New step required (new registration, new file to create)
118
+ - Step removed (registration no longer needed)
119
+ - Step order changed
120
+ - New common mistake discovered
121
+ - Reference implementation changed (new "copy from" target)
122
+ - Prerequisite docs added or removed
123
+
124
+ **NOT an update trigger:**
125
+ - New feature that follows the existing recipe without changes
126
+ - Bug fix in one implementation that followed the guide
127
+ - Internal refactoring that doesn't change the steps
128
+
129
+ **Update rules:**
130
+ - UPDATE steps when the recipe changes
131
+ - ADD new common mistakes as they are discovered
132
+ - UPDATE "copy from" references when better examples exist
133
+ - Keep the guide current — an agent should be able to follow it TODAY

+ Template for `.docs/wiki/subsystems/[subsystem-name]/patterns/<pattern-name>.md` — a reusable
4
+ implementation pattern within a codebase subsystem. Answers "HOW do I implement something
5
+ that follows this pattern?"
6
+
7
+ Each pattern doc describes a structural template that appears across multiple implementations.
8
+ It is the document an AI agent reads to ensure new code follows established conventions.
9
+
10
+ A "pattern" is a recurring structural approach used by 2+ implementations:
11
+ e.g., Template Method (Path base class with 5 factory methods), Repository Pattern,
12
+ Mapper Pattern, Factory/Registry, CQRS Command/Query handlers.
13

15
+ - systems/ docs (WHAT exists — the domain subsystems that USE these patterns)
16

62
+
63
+ When implementing something new that uses this pattern:
64
+
65
+ 1. [First step] (reference: `file:ClassName.method`)
66
+ 2. [Second step]
67
+ 3. [Third step]

+
71
+ <current-implementations>
72
+ ## Current Implementations
73
+
74
+ Where this pattern is currently used:
75
+ - `TrendLine` at `src/infrastructure/primitives/trend-line/TrendLine.ts`
76
+ - `ParallelChannel` at `src/infrastructure/primitives/parallel-channel/ParallelChannel.ts`

+ ## Gotchas
82
+
83
+ Things that commonly go wrong or are easy to forget when applying this pattern.
84
+ - [Common mistake 1]
85
+ - [Common mistake 2]
86

89
+ <guidelines>
90
+
91
+ **Documentation Style:**
92
+ - EXTREMELY SUCCINCT — every word must add value
93
+ - NO FLUFF — direct, actionable information only
94
+ - Bullet points over paragraphs
95
+ - Code references as `file-path:ClassName.methodName` (not line numbers)
96
+ - Inline snippets ONLY for interface contracts and pattern structure definitions
97
+ - **ALL visual representations of architecture, dependencies, flows, or relationships MUST be ```mermaid fenced code blocks (use `classDiagram` for structure). NO ASCII arrows (->), NO dependency trees, NO PlantUML. Only mermaid. The ONLY ASCII exception is file trees.**
98
+
99
+ **The Pattern:**
100
+ - ONE paragraph. Name the GoF/industry pattern if applicable, then explain how it
101
+ manifests in THIS codebase. Not a textbook definition — the codebase-specific version.
102
+
103
+ **Structure:**
104
+ - Mermaid classDiagram showing the abstract/interface hierarchy.
105
+ - Show the pattern skeleton only — not every concrete implementation.
106
+ - Include key method signatures that define the contract.
107
+
108
+ **How It Works:**
109
+ - Numbered steps tracing the pattern's execution flow.
110
+ - Every step references actual code with `file:ClassName.method`.
111
+ - Focus on the mechanics an agent needs to understand to add a new implementation.
112
+
113
+ **How to Apply:**
114
+ - The MOST ACTIONABLE section. An agent follows these steps to create a new instance.
115
+ - Reference existing implementations as "copy from" targets.
116
+ - Include which files to create, which registrations to add, which factories to update.
117
+
118
+ **Current Implementations:**
119
+ - Complete list of all known implementations with file paths.
120
+ - Agent uses this as a reference gallery — "pick the closest one and copy its structure."
121
+ - Update when new implementations are added.
122
+
123
+ **Gotchas:**
124
+ - Timing issues, naming conventions, registration requirements, common mistakes.
125
+ - Anything an agent would get wrong on first attempt without being told.
126
+
127
+ **What does NOT belong here:**
128
+ - System-specific domain logic (that's in systems/ docs)
129
+ - Step-by-step task recipes that combine multiple patterns (that's in guides/)
130
+ - Cross-cutting infrastructure details (that's in cross-cutting/)
131
+ - Story numbers, sprint context, revision history
132
+ - Testing instructions, performance benchmarks

135
+
136
+ <evolution>
137
+
138
+ This is a LIVING document — updated when the pattern itself evolves.
139
+
140
+ **Update triggers:**
141
+ - New implementation added (update Current Implementations list)
142
+ - Pattern structure changed (new factory method, new interface method)
143
+ - How to Apply steps changed (new registration requirement, new file to create)
144
+ - New gotcha discovered during implementation
145
+
146
+ **NOT an update trigger:**
147
+ - New feature that follows the existing pattern without changing it
148
+ - Bug fix in one implementation
149
+ - Internal refactoring that doesn't change the pattern contract
150
+
151
+ **Update rules:**
152
+ - ADD new implementations to the list
153
+ - UPDATE How to Apply if the recipe changed
154
+ - ADD new gotchas as they are discovered
155
+ - Do NOT remove historical gotchas unless they are no longer relevant
