Documentation Maintenance Workflow

Change Workflow

When creating or updating documentation:

  • Ensure frontmatter is present and follows the standard.
  • Ensure the document is linked from the appropriate hub section when relevant.
  • Ensure related cross-domain links are added where appropriate.
  • Ensure backlog entries are linked to task definitions without duplicating task bodies.

Relationship Maintenance

Minimum relationship checks:

  • New document appears in the correct hub under ### Documents in This Hub.
  • ### Related Docs includes relevant cross-domain references.
  • If a task is added in an owner document, add a link to it from the relevant central backlog (e.g. Technical Backlog).

  • Why: Reduce manual misses when adding/updating docs and improve consistency over time.
  • Details: Keep implementation scope lightweight at first and expand behavior iteratively.
  • Status: Proposed

Add automated documentation validation checks

  • What: Define and implement automated checks for frontmatter, section requirements, and key relationship rules.
  • Why: Provide deterministic guardrails independent of manual reviews.
  • Details: Start with basic checks and expand as standards mature.
