Document Categories

  • Terminology (terminology.md) — Canonical definitions, single source of truth for terms
  • Storage (storage.md) — Parquet schemas, config file formats, directory layout
  • Shared types (shared.md) — Output structs used by multiple commands
  • Command specs (commands/*.md) — One per CLI command: inputs, behavior, output struct, errors
  • Workflows (workflows/*.md) — Cross-cutting logic used by multiple commands

Writing a Spec

Header

Every spec starts with:

markdown
# <Title>

**Status: DRAFT** (or TODO, REVIEW, FINAL)

**See also:** [link1](path), [link2](path)

Command Spec Template

Command specs should include these sections:

markdown
# `mdvs <command>`

**Status: DRAFT**

## Synopsis
<usage line and flags>

## Behavior
<what the command does, step by step>

## Output
<output struct definition — every command collects results in a struct before display>

## Errors
<error conditions and messages>

## Examples
<CLI usage examples>

Workflow Spec Template

markdown
# Workflow: <Name>

**Status: DRAFT**

## Overview
<what this workflow does and which commands use it>

## Algorithm
<step-by-step logic>

## Edge Cases
<boundary conditions>

Rules

  • Single source of truth: each term/struct/concept defined in ONE place only
  • Cross-references: link, never duplicate definitions
  • Output structs: every command must define its result as a struct, separate from display formatting
  • Mermaid for diagrams — never ASCII art
  • No stale references: do not link to anything in archive/
