+## Guides: Importing ADRs
+
+Source: https://cli.archgate.dev/guides/importing-adrs/
+
+## What are ADR packs?
+
+An **ADR pack** is a curated collection of Architecture Decision Records bundled together under a shared theme. Each pack includes:
+
+- An `archgate-pack.yaml` manifest with metadata (name, version, maintainers, tags)
+- One or more ADR markdown files in an `adrs/` directory
+- Optional companion `.rules.ts` files that enforce each decision automatically
+
+Packs let you bootstrap a project with proven architectural conventions instead of writing everything from scratch.
+
+## Importing from the registry
+
+The [Archgate awesome-adrs registry](https://github.com/archgate/awesome-adrs) hosts community-maintained packs. Import one with:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/typescript-strict
+```
+
+This clones the registry, copies the ADRs into your `.archgate/adrs/` directory, and remaps IDs to fit your project's numbering scheme.
+
+### Pinning a version
+
+Append `@<ref>` to lock to a specific git tag or branch:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/typescript-strict@0.3.0
+```
+
+## Cherry-picking individual ADRs
+
+You don't have to import an entire pack. Point to a specific ADR file within a pack:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/security/adrs/SEC-001-no-secrets-in-code
+```
+
+Only that single ADR (and its companion rules file, if present) will be imported.
+
+## Importing from third-party repos
+
+Any GitHub repository with ADR files works as a source. Use the three-segment `org/repo/path` syntax:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import acme/company-adrs/packs/api-standards
+```
+
+This clones `https://github.com/acme/company-adrs.git` and imports from the specified subpath.
+
+## Importing from any git URL
+
+For non-GitHub repositories or when you need full control, pass a complete URL:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import https://github.com/org/repo/tree/main/packs/my-pack
+```
+
+The CLI parses the GitHub `/tree/<ref>/<path>` format automatically. For other hosts, you can pass any git-cloneable URL:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import https://gitlab.com/team/repo.git
+```
+
+## Preview with `--dry-run`
+
+See what would be imported without writing anything:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/typescript-strict --dry-run
+```
+
+Output shows the original IDs, remapped IDs, and titles in a table.
+
+## Listing imported ADRs with `--list`
+
+Check what has been imported previously:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import --list
+```
+
+This reads `.archgate/imports.json` and displays each source, version, and the ADR IDs it produced.
+
+## How ID remapping works
+
+When you import ADRs, the original IDs (e.g., `TS-001`) are **remapped** to fit your project's ID sequence. For example, if your project already has `ARCH-001` through `ARCH-005`, the imported ADRs will receive `ARCH-006`, `ARCH-007`, etc.
+
+You can override the prefix with `--prefix`:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/security --prefix SEC
+```
+
+The remapping ensures:
+
+1. No ID collisions with existing ADRs
+2. A single consistent numbering scheme across your project
+3. Imported rules files work immediately without manual edits
+
+## The imports.json manifest
+
+Every import is recorded in `.archgate/imports.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "imports": [
+    {
+      "source": "packs/typescript-strict",
+      "version": "0.3.0",
+      "importedAt": "2026-05-10T14:32:00.000Z",
+      "adrIds": ["ARCH-006", "ARCH-007", "ARCH-008"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+This manifest lets you track provenance — where each imported ADR came from and when. Commit it to version control alongside your ADRs.
+
+## Command options reference
+
+| Option              | Description                              |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |

+| `--dry-run`         | Preview changes without writing files    |
+| `--prefix <prefix>` | Override the ID prefix for imported ADRs |
+| `--list`            | List previously imported ADRs            |

+title: Importando ADRs
+description: Importe Architecture Decision Records curados do registro Archgate ou de qualquer repositório git. Comece com convenções comprovadas em vez de uma página em branco.
+---
+
+import { Tabs, TabItem } from "@astrojs/starlight/components";
+
+## O que são ADR packs?
+
+Um **ADR pack** é uma coleção curada de Architecture Decision Records agrupados sob um tema compartilhado. Cada pack inclui:
+
+- Um manifesto `archgate-pack.yaml` com metadados (nome, versão, mantenedores, tags)
+- Um ou mais arquivos ADR markdown em um diretório `adrs/`
+- Arquivos complementares `.rules.ts` opcionais que aplicam cada decisão automaticamente
+
+Packs permitem inicializar um projeto com convenções arquiteturais comprovadas em vez de escrever tudo do zero.
+
+## Importando do registro
+
+O [registro Archgate awesome-adrs](https://github.com/archgate/awesome-adrs) hospeda packs mantidos pela comunidade. Importe um com:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/typescript-strict
+```
+
+Isso clona o registro, copia os ADRs para o diretório `.archgate/adrs/` e remapeia os IDs para se adequar ao esquema de numeração do seu projeto.
+
+### Fixando uma versão
+
+Adicione `@<ref>` para fixar em uma tag ou branch específica:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/typescript-strict@0.3.0
+```
+
+## Selecionando ADRs individuais
+
+Você não precisa importar um pack inteiro. Aponte para um arquivo ADR específico dentro de um pack:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/security/adrs/SEC-001-no-secrets-in-code
+```
+
+Apenas esse ADR (e seu arquivo de regras complementar, se existir) será importado.
+
+## Importando de repositórios de terceiros
+
+Qualquer repositório GitHub com arquivos ADR funciona como fonte. Use a sintaxe `org/repo/path` com três segmentos:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import acme/company-adrs/packs/api-standards
+```
+
+Isso clona `https://github.com/acme/company-adrs.git` e importa do subpath especificado.
+
+## Importando de qualquer URL git
+
+Para repositórios não-GitHub ou quando precisar de controle total, passe uma URL completa:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import https://github.com/org/repo/tree/main/packs/my-pack
+```
+
+O CLI analisa o formato GitHub `/tree/<ref>/<path>` automaticamente. Para outros hosts, passe qualquer URL clonável via git:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import https://gitlab.com/team/repo.git
+```
+
+## Preview com `--dry-run`
+
+Veja o que seria importado sem escrever nada:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/typescript-strict --dry-run
+```
+
+A saída mostra os IDs originais, IDs remapeados e títulos em uma tabela.
+
+## Listando ADRs importados com `--list`
+
+Verifique o que foi importado anteriormente:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import --list
+```
+
+Isso lê `.archgate/imports.json` e exibe cada fonte, versão e os IDs de ADR produzidos.
+
+## Como funciona o remapeamento de IDs
+
+Quando você importa ADRs, os IDs originais (ex: `TS-001`) são **remapeados** para se adequar à sequência de IDs do seu projeto. Por exemplo, se seu projeto já tem `ARCH-001` até `ARCH-005`, os ADRs importados receberão `ARCH-006`, `ARCH-007`, etc.
+
+Você pode sobrescrever o prefixo com `--prefix`:
+
+```bash
+archgate adr import packs/security --prefix SEC
+```
+
+O remapeamento garante:
+
+1. Nenhuma colisão de ID com ADRs existentes
+2. Um esquema de numeração único e consistente em todo o projeto
+3. Arquivos de regras importados funcionam imediatamente sem edições manuais
+
+## O manifesto imports.json
+
+Cada importação é registrada em `.archgate/imports.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "imports": [
+    {
+      "source": "packs/typescript-strict",
+      "version": "0.3.0",
+      "importedAt": "2026-05-10T14:32:00.000Z",
+      "adrIds": ["ARCH-006", "ARCH-007", "ARCH-008"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Este manifesto permite rastrear a proveniência — de onde cada ADR importado veio e quando. Faça commit dele no controle de versão junto com seus ADRs.
+
+## Referência de opções do comando
+
+| Opção               | Descrição                                       |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `--yes`             | Pula o prompt de confirmação                    |
+| `--json`            | Saída em formato JSON                           |
+| `--dry-run`         | Preview sem escrever arquivos                   |
+| `--prefix <prefix>` | Sobrescreve o prefixo de ID dos ADRs importados |
+| `--list`            | Lista ADRs importados anteriormente             |
