Avoid duplicating metadata? Proposed approach: Metadata is not limited to yaml.

[chipbite]

Hello! Feedback/suggestion - very short, not intended to be impolite, just concise.

Suggested Goal principles:

• Do not duplicate metadata.
  • Why? Duplication is noisy and not slim, which is (IMO) the inverse of what adrs aspire to be
• Metadata is not limited to yaml frontmatter. Data stored by convention is also first class metadata.
  • E g: Metadata stored in filename, in specific locations in file (first heading).

Suggested / example changes:

• Do not duplicate ADR id both in filename and in yaml frontmatter.
  • Idea: If a processor needs to read yaml frontmatter, offer an intermediate build step to create the format required by that processor
• Do not duplicate ADR title in both filename, first heading and yaml frontmatter.
  • Force balance: No markdown renderer will render title as first heading, so that duplication is hard to remove.
  • Idea: remove title in yaml frontmatter

It may be that there are needs that I did not consider - but considering how nice the tool seems, I hope that this can be removed.

Best regards!
