+# ADR 0010: Separate the core facade from optional integration modules
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted. Partially supersedes
+[ADR 0003](0003-public-facade.md) as described below.
+
+## Date
+
+2026-10-09
+
+## Context
+
+CommandKit serves consumers that need its command infrastructure with different
+combinations of library integrations, including none. A consumer using only the
+core should not acquire dependencies belonging to optional integrations.
+
+ADR 0003 establishes deliberate public contracts and an internal CLI backend
+boundary. Those principles remain appropriate. Its initial single root facade,
+however, combines core and integration responsibilities. Separate packages within
+one module would separate imports while retaining shared module requirements.
+
+## Decision
+
+Retain the root `commandkit` package as the core module's public facade. It owns
+core command declarations, registration, typed inputs, dispatch, help/version,
+shared syntax, diagnostics, and invocation outcomes.
+
+Provide optional library integrations as separate Go modules with their own
+public package contracts. Each integration owns the standard command handlers,
+provider contracts, reports, and adapters appropriate to its responsibility.
+Applications select integrations and explicitly register their commands; importing
+an integration does not install a command family.
+
+Integrations provide convenient registration of their standard command families,
+with standard declarations and handlers supplied by the integration. Applications
+provide acquisition and domain-specific context without assembling individual
+standard commands or repeating adapter plumbing. More specialized composition
+remains available where concrete consumer needs justify it.
+
+Dependencies point from integrations toward the core. The core's public API,
+implementation, and module requirements remain independent of optional
+integration libraries. An integration may depend on another integration when
+its responsibility requires that relationship. Document such dependencies so
+consumers can understand the modules they select.
+
+Integrations compose through supported public core contracts and preserve
+CommandKit's standard grammar, command ownership, help, and outcome conventions.
+They do not access private core state or backend structures. Add public contracts
+where concrete integration needs justify them, without requiring a general plugin
+or backend-selection framework.
+
+### Relationship to ADR 0003
+
+The root-facade and public-type ownership provisions of ADR 0003 now apply to
+the core module. Integration-owned public types and operations belong in their
+respective public packages. The permission to expose deliberately selected
+upstream library types applies within the integrations that depend on them;
+it does not justify optional integration dependencies in the core.
+
+ADR 0003's remaining principles continue to apply across the core and
+integrations: deliberate exports, private implementation state, proportionate
+internal layering, no exposure of internal or backend types, and preservation of
+documented ownership, presence, callback lifetime, and error semantics. Application
+input types and caller-supplied values and errors retain their existing handling.
+Cobra/pflag remain behind the core's internal adapter.
+
+This decision changes the scope of the single-facade decision rather than
+replacing its contract discipline. ADR 0003 is partially superseded and its
+original decision text remains intact.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+| Alternative | Analysis |
+| --- | --- |
+| Keep integrations in the root package | Preserves existing imports and simplifies releases, but core consumers acquire optional library dependencies. |
+| Use separate packages within one module | Separates compiled imports and retains one release unit, but keeps integration requirements in the shared module graph. |
+| Have applications implement integration handlers | Keeps the core independent, but recreates duplicated inspection commands and weakens consistent operator behavior. |
+| Introduce universal provider contracts in the core | Could support several libraries through a common model, but adds abstractions and conversion obligations before concrete needs justify them. |
+
+## Consequences
+
+Consumers can adopt the core independently and add supported integrations as
+needed. Integrations remain maintained parts of CommandKit, with shared CLI
+conventions and owning-library semantics. Dependency independence does not mean
+the core has no external implementation dependencies.
+
+Moving existing integration APIs requires a documented consumer migration.
+Integration modules add module-specific dependency, validation, and release work.
+Core tests, examples, and tools must not reintroduce the optional dependencies
+that this boundary removes.
+
+Exact registration mechanics and release cadence are not selected here.
+Current GoDoc and CLI contracts continue to own implemented behavior.
