Turn your agent on auto-pilot with ADRs

Why watch

Kent C. Dodds demonstrates how to use Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to prevent AI agents from re-asking questions already answered in previous conversations. By maintaining short decision records in a docs/decisions/ folder and pointing AGENTS.md to that folder, agents can check existing decisions before proposing new solutions. The video walks through real examples from the Epic Stack including ADR 0001 (no package versioning), 0006 (no repo CI primitive), and 0015 (wait on MCP skills). Developers working with AI coding assistants will learn how to create durable, searchable documentation that scales agent memory beyond individual chat sessions.
