Architecture and Decisions

Architecture files help agents understand system boundaries before modifying code.

  • Memory Bank files such as systemArchitecture.md can document system structure for long-running agents.
  • DESIGN.md documents visual architecture for product UI.
  • PLAN.md can capture architectural implementation decisions for a specific task.

Candidate Patterns​

Generic files such as ARCHITECTURE.md, DECISIONS.md, and ADR folders are valuable for human engineering teams, but this registry only lists them as AI conventions when there is clear evidence of agent-specific standardization.
