docs: standardize on yymmdd- timestamp prefix format
Naming Convention Updates:
- Renamed history/2026-01-06-semantic-document-validation → history/260106-semantic-document-validation
- Documented yymmdd- format convention in history/README.md and roadmap/README.md
- Updated all date references in WORKPLAN.md and DONE.md
- Fixed SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_GUIDE.md references to use yymmdd- format

Convention Details:
- Format: yymmdd-topic-name (e.g., 260106-semantic-document-validation)
- Benefits: Concise while maintaining chronological sorting
- Examples documented in both README files
- Applies to both roadmap/ and history/ directories

This establishes a consistent timestamp prefix convention that Claude and its agents should follow.

MarkiTect Documentation

Welcome to the MarkiTect documentation. This directory contains comprehensive documentation for developers, users, and contributors.

Documentation Structure

📐 Architecture Documentation (architecture/)

Deep technical documentation about system design, performance, and implementation details.

  • Capabilities Architecture - Critical: How capabilities work as independent git submodules and separation of concerns
  • Caching System - Why and how MarkiTect's AST caching delivers 60-85% performance improvements
  • Coming soon: Database Schema, CLI Architecture

👥 User Guides (user-guides/)

End-user documentation for working with MarkiTect CLI and features.

  • Coming soon: Getting Started, Command Reference, Best Practices

🔧 Development Documentation (development/)

Documentation for contributors and developers extending MarkiTect.

  • Coming soon: Contributing Guide, Testing Strategy, Release Process

Key Concepts

Core Architecture Principles

  1. Parse Once, Use Many Times - AST caching for 60-85% performance improvement
  2. Convention Over Configuration - Sensible defaults with minimal setup
  3. Schema-Driven Processing - Structured markdown with validation
  4. Relational Metadata - Database-powered document relationships

Performance Philosophy

MarkiTect treats markdown documents as structured, queryable data rather than plain text. This approach enables:

  • Lightning-fast document processing through intelligent caching
  • Complex querying and relationship management
  • Schema validation and consistency enforcement
  • Scalable performance that grows with your content

Contributing to Documentation

Documentation follows the same quality standards as code:

  1. Clear Structure - Logical organization and navigation
  2. Practical Examples - Real-world usage patterns
  3. Performance Context - Why architectural decisions matter
  4. User-Focused - Written for the intended audience

Documentation Standards

  • Use clear, concise language
  • Include practical examples
  • Explain the "why" behind design decisions
  • Keep technical accuracy as the highest priority
  • Update docs when changing functionality

This documentation is maintained alongside the codebase. For the most current information, always refer to the latest version in the repository.
