Implementation Plan: Documentation System

Automate documentation generation with context-aware analysis and semantic integration, producing consistent, governed docs across specs, code, and architecture models.

Provenance & Traceability

Architectural Decisions (ADRs)

ADR ID Decision Title Impact on This Plan
ADR-024 Automated Documentation Generation Defines orchestration + context analysis.

Product Requirements (PRDs)

PRD ID Requirement Title Satisfied By (SDS) Acceptance Criteria
PRD-001 Automated Documentation Generation SDS-036 Doc generation pipeline
PRD-002 Context-Aware Documentation Analysis SDS-051 Context extraction

Software Design Specifications (SDS)

SDS ID Service/Component Bounded Context SEA-DSL Spec File Implementation Status
SDS-036 Documentation Orchestrator shared N/A Designed
SDS-051 Universal Context Service shared N/A Draft

Note: SDS-037 (Project Context Analyzer) has been superseded by SDS-051 (Universal Context Service).

Proposed Cycles

Cycle Branch Wave Files Modified Files Created Specs Implemented
C1A cycle/p023-c1a-context-service 1 docs/specs/shared/sds/051-universal-context-service.md — Context extraction
C1B cycle/p023-c1b-doc-orchestrator 1 docs/specs/shared/sds/036-documentation-orchestrator-service.md — Generation orchestration
C2A cycle/p023-c2a-doc-output 2 docs/specs/shared/reference/006-documentation-system-structure.md — Output structure

Wave 2 (Depends on Wave 1)

Validation & Verification

Spec Validation

Implementation Validation

Open Questions

  1. Which doc outputs are considered canonical vs derived? Specs/plans = canonical, API docs = derived
  2. Where is the list of supported documentation templates stored? docs/templates/ + registry

Risks & Mitigation

Risk Likelihood Impact Mitigation Strategy
Docs drift from specs Medium High Make docs generated-only and enforce regen checks.
Context analysis misses key dependencies Medium Medium Extend analyzer incrementally; add tests on known repos.

Rollback Strategy

  1. Freeze doc generation outputs to last-known good while improving analyzer accuracy.
