This commit sets up the comprehensive workplan for implementing a
markdown-first schema management system with naming conventions,
versioning, and self-validation capabilities.
## Directory Reorganization
- Renamed `todo/` → `roadmap/` for better organization
- Created `roadmap/schema-of-schemas/` subdirectory
- Moved schema management planning artifacts to dedicated directory
## Planning Artifacts Created
### Workplan & Documentation
- **WORKPLAN.md** (19KB) - Comprehensive 6-phase implementation plan
- **SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_PROPOSAL.md** - Full analysis with 4 options
- **SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_SUMMARY.md** - Executive summary
- **README.md** - Quick reference guide
### Example Schema
- **examples/schemas/manpage-schema-v1.md** - Demonstrates markdown format
## Schema Management System Design
### Naming Convention
**Format:** `{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md`
**Examples:**
- `manpage-schema-v1.0.md`
- `terminology-schema-v1.0.md`
- `api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md`
### Markdown-First Format
Schemas will be markdown files with:
- YAML frontmatter for metadata
- Rich documentation sections
- Embedded JSON schema in code block
- Version history and examples
### Implementation Phases (8-10 days)
**Phase 0:** Planning & Setup ✅ (0.5 days) - COMPLETE
**Phase 1:** Filename Convention (1 day) - NEXT
**Phase 2:** Markdown Loader (2-3 days)
**Phase 3:** Schema-for-Schemas (2 days)
**Phase 4:** Schema Migration (1-2 days)
**Phase 5:** CLI & Documentation (1 day)
**Phase 6:** Testing & Validation (1 day)
### Goals
1. ✅ Establish naming convention
2. ⏳ Implement filename validation
3. ⏳ Create markdown schema loader
4. ⏳ Build schema-for-schemas metaschema
5. ⏳ Migrate 5 existing schemas (remove 2 duplicates)
6. ⏳ Update CLI and documentation
## Updated Tracking
### TODO.md
- Added Schema-of-Schemas as active work item
- Documented Phase 1 tasks and timeline
- Paused capability extraction work
### CHANGELOG.md
- Added schema management system to [Unreleased]
- Documented directory reorganization
- Added "In Progress" section for current work
## Next Steps
Begin Phase 1:
1. Implement schema_naming.py with validation
2. Add unit tests
3. Update CLI schema-ingest command
4. Create naming specification document
## Files Changed
- CHANGELOG.md - Added unreleased schema management features
- TODO.md - Updated active work tracking
- roadmap/ - Reorganized from todo/
- roadmap/schema-of-schemas/ - New planning directory
- examples/schemas/ - Example markdown schema

Todofile
This is a "to do next" file, particularly useful to keep the human and a coding assistant in sync.
The format is based on Keep a Todofile V0.0.1.
The structure organizes future tasks by their impact, just as a changelog organizes past changes by their impact.
[Unreleased] - Active Vibe-Coding State 💡
This section is for tasks currently being discussed with or worked on by the coding assistant. These are the ephemeral, flow-of-thought tasks.
Schema-of-Schemas Implementation (Active - Phase 1)
Status: Phase 1 - Filename Convention & Validation (In Progress)
Workplan: See roadmap/schema-of-schemas/WORKPLAN.md
Current Goals:
- ✅ Establish naming convention:
{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md - 🔄 Implement filename validation logic
- 🔄 Update CLI with validation
- ⏳ Create markdown schema loader
- ⏳ Build schema-for-schemas metaschema
- ⏳ Migrate existing schemas to new format
Phase 1 Tasks (Current):
- Write
markitect/schema_naming.pywith validation logic - Add unit tests for filename validation
- Update
schema-ingestcommand with validation - Create SCHEMA_NAMING_SPEC.md documentation
Next Phases:
- Phase 2: Markdown Schema Loader (2-3 days)
- Phase 3: Schema-for-Schemas Metaschema (2 days)
- Phase 4: Schema Migration (1-2 days)
- Phase 5: CLI & Documentation Updates (1 day)
- Phase 6: Testing & Validation (1 day)
Expected Completion: 8-10 days total
Extract Capability-Capability from Issue-Facade (Paused)
Context: Issue-facade currently provides two capabilities:
- issue-tracking (explicit in CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml) - Issue management across platforms
- capability-capability (implicit) - Patterns and tools for creating/managing capabilities
The capability-capability includes:
- Feedback pattern (feedback/ directory, .capability/feedback CLI tool, documentation)
- Detachment facility (.capability/detach script for clean capability removal)
- Integration pattern (.capability/integrate.sh for project integration)
- CAPABILITY-*.yaml specification format
- ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md (complete specification)
- Directory conventions (_family/implementation, visible/hidden patterns)
Goal: Extract capability-capability to separate reusable-capability repository so it can be used by any capability in the markitect ecosystem.
Approach: Step-by-step extraction, starting with specification.
Phase 1: Specification & Planning (Current)
- Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml in issue-facade to explicitly declare the implicit capability
- Define what belongs to capability-capability family vs issue-tracking family
- Document the capability-capability API surface (what tools/patterns it provides)
- Identify all files/directories to extract
- Plan extraction strategy (copy vs move, how to maintain during transition)
Phase 2: Repository Creation
- Create reusable-capability repository structure
- Extract ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md to new repo
- Extract feedback pattern (directory structure, CLI tool, README)
- Extract detachment facility (.capability/detach)
- Extract integration scripts (.capability/integrate.sh, integration-checklist.md)
- Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml in new repo (canonical version)
- Add README.md for reusable-capability repo
Phase 3: Integration & Testing
- Update issue-facade to depend on reusable-capability (as integrated capability)
- Integrate reusable-capability into issue-facade using _capability/reusable-capability pattern
- Test that issue-facade still works with extracted capability
- Update issue-facade documentation to reference both capabilities it provides/uses
- Verify feedback system still works
- Verify detachment still works
Phase 4: Dogfooding & Validation
- Choose another markitect capability for dogfooding
- Integrate reusable-capability into that capability
- Add feedback system to new capability
- Add detachment facility to new capability
- Document learnings and refine reusable-capability based on real-world usage
- Update ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md with insights
Current Step: Phase 1, Task 1 - Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml
Completed Tasks
Recent completed tasks have been documented in _issue-tracking/issue-facade/CHANGELOG.md following Keep a Changelog format.
2026-01-04 - Phase 2: Schema Refinement Tools & Terminology Example
- ✅ Implemented schema-analyze command to detect rigidity issues
- ✅ Implemented schema-refine command with automatic loosening logic
- ✅ Added interactive mode to schema-refine for fine-grained control
- ✅ Created comprehensive test suite (33 unit tests, 100% passing)
- ✅ Wrote user guide documentation with examples and workflows
- ✅ Successfully tested on example schemas (reduced rigidity from 60/100 to 24/100)
- ✅ Integrated into CLI with proper exit codes and error handling
- ✅ Moved SCHEMA_EVOLUTION_WORKPLAN.md to todo/ directory
- ✅ Created terminology validation example (examples/terminology/)
Key Features Delivered:
- Rigidity score calculation (0-100 scale)
- Automatic detection of exact counts, const values, overly specific numbers
- Path navigation for nested schema properties
- Dry-run mode for previewing changes
- Interactive approval workflow
- Comprehensive reporting (normal and verbose modes)
Terminology Example:
- Complete terminology document structure (terminology-example.md)
- JSON schema with MarkiTect extensions (terminology-schema.json)
- Demonstrates schema usage for non-manpage documents
- Validates term definitions, synonyms, related terms, examples
- Includes content control and validation rules
- Full documentation and usage examples (README.md)

- ✅ Implemented ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture v0.1
- ✅ Added feedback capability to issue-facade
- ✅ Created detachment facility
- ✅ Refactored to family-based directory structure (_issue-tracking/issue-facade)
- ✅ Made feedback directory visible (feedback/ not .feedback/)
- ✅ Renamed to explicit family declaration (CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml)
- ✅ Created CHANGELOG.md documenting v1.0.0
