Design Documentation

Purpose

Actionable implementation contracts and design assets that sit one level below the architecture specifications in docs/architecture/ — the "how do I know when this package is actually done" layer, as distinct from the "what must this package do and why" layer.

Scope

Implementation checklists derived from each docs/architecture/*_Design_Specification.md, plus (as the project grows) standalone diagram assets — UML, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, C4 diagrams, decision trees — that are too detailed or too implementation-specific to embed inline in an architecture specification. Does not restate architectural rationale; every checklist item links back to the specification section it operationalizes.

Responsibilities

  • Turn each design specification's §36 (Definition of Done) and §37 (Package Acceptance Criteria) into a literal, checkable pull-request gate.
  • Stay in lockstep with its governing specification — if the specification changes, the checklist must be updated in the same change set.
  • Host future standalone diagram assets that supplement (not duplicate) the Mermaid diagrams already embedded in each design specification.

Contents

  • 01_Event_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for events.
  • 02_Ontology_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for ontology.
  • 03_Registry_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for registry + plugins.
  • 04_Connector_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for connectors.
  • 05_KPI_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for kpis.
  • 06_Analytics_Engine_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for analytics.
  • 07_Decision_Intelligence_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for decision.
  • 08_Digital_Twin_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for digital_twin.
  • 09_Simulation_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for simulation.
  • 10_Optimization_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for optimization.
  • 11_AI_Agents_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for agents.
  • 12_Visualization_Implementation_Checklist.md — implementation contract for visualization, the final package in the architecture.

Dependencies

None (documentation only). Each checklist references its governing specification in docs/architecture/.

Future Work

Add a checklist for every future package's design specification as it is written. Add standalone UML/sequence/ER/C4/decision-tree diagram assets here as the project's diagramming needs grow beyond what fits legibly inline in a specification document.
