# ADR Template The canonical template lives at [`AyCode.Core/.github/skills/adr-author/references/ADR_TEMPLATE.md`](../../../.github/skills/adr-author/references/ADR_TEMPLATE.md) — that's what the `adr-author` skill copies when authoring a new ADR. This file exists only as a placeholder so `docs/adr/` numbering starts visibly at `0001`. Don't edit this file; edit the canonical template if the format needs to change.
