What We're Building
Goals
- ✅ Filename convention:
{domain}-schema-v{version}.md - ✅ Markdown-first schema format (documentation + embedded JSON)
- ✅ Schema-for-schemas to validate all schemas
- ✅ Migrate existing schemas to new format
- ✅ Clean up duplicate/legacy schemas
Why
- Consistency: Enforced naming and versioning
- Alignment: Markdown-first matches MarkiTect philosophy
- Documentation: Rich docs alongside schemas
- Validation: Schema-for-schemas ensures quality
- Maintainability: Clear versions and structure
Implementation Phases
- Phase 0: Planning & Setup (0.5 days) ← Current
- Phase 1: Filename Convention (1 day)
- Phase 2: Markdown Loader (2-3 days)
- Phase 3: Schema-for-Schemas (2 days)
- Phase 4: Schema Migration (1-2 days)
- Phase 5: CLI & Docs (1 day)
- Phase 6: Testing (1 day)
Current Status
Completed
- Directory structure created
- Planning documents moved to roadmap
- Comprehensive workplan written
- Example markdown schema created
Next Steps
- Complete Phase 0 planning artifacts
- Begin Phase 1 implementation
- Checkpoint review after Phase 1
Key Decisions
Naming Convention
Format: {domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md
Example: manpage-schema-v1.0.md
Schema Format
Markdown with embedded JSON:
---
schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1"
version: "1.0.0"
---
# Manpage Schema v1.0
[Documentation...]
## Schema Definition
```json
{ ... JSON schema ... }
### Schema Migration Plan
Old → New ────────────────────────────────────────────────── terminology-schema.json → terminology-schema-v1.0.md api-documentation → api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md enhanced-manpage → manpage-schema-v2.0.md markdown-manpage → REMOVE (duplicate) markdown-manpage-schema.json → REMOVE (duplicate)
