Your coding agent is missing one thing: architectural context
Read OriginalThis article discusses the importance of providing architectural context to AI coding agents through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). It compares two methods for making ADRs accessible: using an MCP server for centralized documentation or storing ADRs in Git alongside code. The author emphasizes that agents cannot infer system constraints, tradeoffs, or design rationale from code alone, and that giving them explicit context improves code quality and alignment with the overall system architecture. Practical tips for including ADRs in agent workflows are also provided.
