+## `adapter`
+
+### Objects
+
+- [schema](adapter/schema.sql)
+- views
+  - [test_schema](adapter/views/test_schema.sql)
+  - [test_schema_summary](adapter/views/test_schema_summary.sql)
+- procedures
+  - [drop_test_schemas](adapter/procedures/drop_test_schemas.sql)
+
+> Please refer to each DDL file, linked for convenience, for details about the particular object
+
+### Description
+
+The `adapter` schema contains objects that facilitate the maintenance of the test environment.
+The following tasks can be accomplished within this environment:
+- identify orphan test schemas
+- identify integration tests that are creating orphan schemas
+- drop orphan schemas
+
+## `test%_test_%`
+
+These schemas are temporary schemas created in the course of integration testing.
+They are of the format `test<unique-hash>_<test-item>`, e.g. `test12345678901234567890_test_basic`.
+The `unique-hash` part is a combination of a timestamp and a random four-digit integer.
+The `test-item` part is either a test module (usually), test class, or test function.
+
+## `dbt_<user>`
+
+These schemas are user workspaces that allow for development and troubleshooting.
+Each schema is up to the user for maintaining and there are no scripts persisted in this repo.
+
+## Additional schemas out of scope of this application
+
+- `always_sunny_%`: These schemas are used by `always-sunny`, and contain persistent objects
+- `dbt_cloud_pr_%`: Used by Cloud's CI process?
+- `us_q_team_pristine_prod_%`: Used by Quality Team's Pristine setups?
+- `dbt_us_bigquery_%`
+- `semantic_layer_%`
