# Implicit Architectural Decision Detection Guide

Please analyze the project at [PROJECT_PATH] to identify implicit architectural decisions.

## Analysis Approach

### 1. Project Structure Analysis
Consider examining the project structure to understand the codebase:
- Use available tools to explore directories and files
- Identify the main programming languages and frameworks where relevant
- Analyze the overall project organization and architecture patterns
- Look for configuration files, build scripts, and dependency files that reveal decisions

Please provide analysis in JSON format with detected decisions.

# Chain-of-Thought Enhancement Impact Report

The implementation of Chain-of-Thought prompting addresses several critical issues:

## 🎯 Primary Benefits

1. **Reduced LLM Confusion**: Step-by-step reasoning prevents the LLM from jumping to conclusions
2. **Better Directory Scanning**: Explicit validation steps prevent inappropriate system directory access
3. **Improved Error Handling**: Pre-identified error patterns help the LLM avoid common mistakes
4. **Enhanced Accuracy**: Validation checklists ensure thoroughness and correctness
5. **Transparent Reasoning**: Visible thought process makes debugging and improvement easier

## 📊 Specific Improvements

### Directory Scanning Confusion (SOLVED)
- **Before**: Vague instructions led to confusion about path resolution and scanning approach
- **After**: Step-by-step process with explicit validation and error handling

### Security Analysis Reliability (IMPROVED)
- **Before**: Inconsistent detection and potential false positives/negatives
- **After**: Systematic scanning approach with confidence scoring and context awareness

### ADR Recommendation Quality (ENHANCED)
- **Before**: Surface-level analysis without clear reasoning
- **After**: Exploratory reasoning that considers alternatives and impacts

### Rule Generation Effectiveness (STRENGTHENED)
- **Before**: Rules might be vague or unenforceable
- **After**: Analytical approach ensures actionable, well-defined rules
