Documentation Gaps

This page tracks concepts, patterns, and features that are referenced in the codebase or mentioned in documentation but need more complete documentation.

Critical Documentation Issues

⚠️ MAJOR: Potentially Fictional Content

Status: Needs immediate review and correction
Issue: Recent documentation reorganization introduced potentially inaccurate or speculative content

Files Requiring Validation: - [ ] concepts/six-layers.md - "Six-layer architecture" may be conceptual, not actual - [ ] concepts/naming-convention.md - Overstates systematic naming patterns - [ ] architecture.md - Contains aspirational rather than actual architecture - [ ] architecture/index.md - Mermaid diagrams may not reflect real implementation - [ ] development/index.md - References tools and processes that may not exist

Action Required: Review against actual codebase and mark speculative content clearly.

High Priority Gaps

LCMCP Pattern

Status: Corrected but incomplete
Location: concepts/lcmcp-pattern.md
Issue: Corrected to "Loosely Coupled Modular Composition Pattern" but needs actual implementation details

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Detailed pattern definition and rules - [ ] Implementation guidelines for each architectural layer - [ ] Concrete examples of LCMCP application - [ ] Anti-patterns and common mistakes - [ ] Testing strategies for loosely coupled systems

Bridge System Internals

Status: Missing
Referenced In: Various FCM and generation contexts

Needs Documentation: - [ ] FCM file format specification - [ ] Bridge generation pipeline details - [ ] Custom template creation - [ ] Generator extension points - [ ] Validation rule implementation

Six-Layer Implementation Details

Status: Concept documented, implementation gaps
Location: concepts/six-layers.md

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Specific implementation patterns for each layer - [ ] Interface design guidelines between layers - [ ] Error propagation patterns - [ ] Performance considerations per layer - [ ] Migration strategies between layers

Medium Priority Gaps

FCM Authoring Guide

Status: Missing
Referenced In: Development documentation

Needs Documentation: - [ ] FCM syntax specification - [ ] Parameter type definitions - [ ] Output specification rules - [ ] Version management for FCMs - [ ] Domain organization guidelines

Testing Framework Details

Status: Referenced but not fully documented
Location: Mentioned in guides

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Test structure and organization - [ ] Action testing patterns - [ ] Workflow testing strategies - [ ] Integration test requirements - [ ] Performance testing guidelines

Deployment and CI/CD Integration

Status: Partially documented
Referenced In: Workflow files

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Complete CI/CD pipeline documentation - [ ] Deployment strategies - [ ] Environment configuration - [ ] Monitoring and alerting setup - [ ] Rollback procedures

Low Priority Gaps

Advanced Patterns

Status: Missing

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Cross-repository action usage - [ ] Complex workflow orchestration - [ ] Error recovery patterns - [ ] Performance optimization techniques - [ ] Security best practices

Tool and Script Documentation

Status: Minimal
Referenced In: Makefile and .bridge/ directory

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Complete Makefile command reference - [ ] Bridge script usage and options - [ ] Development environment setup - [ ] Debugging tools and techniques - [ ] Custom tool creation

Integration Examples

Status: Basic examples exist
Location: examples/ directory

Needs Documentation: - [ ] Real-world usage patterns - [ ] Industry-specific implementations - [ ] Integration with popular tools - [ ] Custom domain implementations - [ ] Performance benchmarks

Documentation Quality Issues

Concepts Needing Validation

These concepts were mentioned but may need verification:

  1. "Meta-Level Design" - Referenced in architecture but needs verification
  2. "Self-Describing Systems" - Mentioned but implementation details unclear
  3. "Immutable Infrastructure" - Referenced but needs concrete examples
  4. Specific Git operation patterns - Many referenced but not documented
  • Audit all internal links after reorganization
  • Verify external links are current
  • Update cross-references between sections
  • Add missing code examples

Contributing to Documentation

How to Help

  1. Identify Gaps: Add new gaps to this page when you find them
  2. Contribute Content: Pick a gap and create documentation
  3. Verify Information: Validate existing content against implementation
  4. Improve Structure: Suggest better organization or presentation

Documentation Standards

When filling gaps: - Start with a clear overview - Include practical examples - Reference actual code where possible - Avoid speculation or assumptions - Mark uncertain content clearly

Review Process

  1. Create documentation for a gap
  2. Mark the gap as "In Progress"
  3. Submit for review by maintainers
  4. Update this page when complete
  5. Remove from gaps list when fully documented

Tracking Progress

Recently Completed

  • Workflow naming conventions (dot prefix for private workflows)
  • Core Concepts section reorganization
  • Navigation structure improvement

In Progress

  • LCMCP pattern detailed documentation
  • Internal link updates after reorganization

Needs Assignment

  • Bridge system internals
  • FCM authoring guide
  • Testing framework details
  • Deployment documentation

Maintenance

This page should be updated regularly: - Add new gaps as they're discovered - Move completed items to "Recently Completed" - Update priority based on user needs - Remove outdated or resolved gaps

Last Updated: During documentation reorganization
Next Review: After LCMCP pattern completion
