RFC

Turns a problem statement into an RFC file in the decision log, opens it for comments with a fixed closing date, and closes it with a recorded outcome. The RFC holds the proposal and the discussion. The decision itself goes into an ADR, written by the adr skill.

Lifecycle: draft, then review (open for comments until comments_close), then accepted, rejected or withdrawn.

Inputs

• Problem statement (required): what is wrong or missing, in the user's words.

• Reviewers: names or teams who must comment. Ask if not given.
• Comment window: default 14 days from the day the RFC opens for comments.
• Folder: default docs/decisions/ at the repository root.
