📚 Documentation Structure ​

This documentation follows a hierarchical structure with Diátaxis content types for easy navigation:

Diátaxis Content Types ​

Each system/platform/feature is organized by content type to match user intent:

  • Tutorials (Action + Acquisition) - Step-by-step learning guides
  • How-to Guides (Action + Application) - Task-focused instructions
  • Reference (Cognition + Application) - Precise, factual information
  • Explanation (Cognition + Acquisition) - Deep context and architecture

🚀 Quick Start ​

  1. New to the project? → Start with 00-OVERVIEW.md
  2. Understanding client vision? → Read 01-CLIENT-VISION-CANON-v2.md
  3. Working on a specific platform? → Check 03-PLATFORMS/
  4. Implementing a feature? → See 04-FEATURES/
  5. Understanding architecture? → Review 06-ARCHITECTURE/

🔄 Documentation Maintenance ​

This documentation is living and updated during each interaction. Key principles:

  1. Primary Source: docs/project_status.md is the central document - extract all information from it first
  2. Hierarchical Structure: True parent → child relationships with folder nesting
  3. Diátaxis Content Types: Separate content by user intent (Tutorials, How-to, Reference, Explanation)
  4. Visual Diagrams: Mermaid diagrams for complex flows
  5. Detailed Explanations: Everything explained for easy understanding
  6. Cross-References: Links between related documents
  7. Version Tracking: Last updated dates on each document
  8. Content Type Metadata: Each document tagged with content type for filtering

📝 Contributing to Documentation ​

When adding new information:

  1. Update the relevant section document
  2. Update the main overview if it's a major change
  3. Add diagrams for complex flows
  4. Cross-reference related documents
  5. Update the "Last Updated" date
