# 🏗️ Architecture Guide — test-project **Author:** Scribe **Version:** Draft v0.1 **Last Updated:** 2025-10-24 18:10:16 UTC > TODO: Replace every placeholder and instructional block with project-specific detail. Keep this document in sync with reality—update it the moment architecture or directory structure changes. --- ## 1. Problem Statement - **Context:** Why are we building this? Who benefits? - **Goals:** Bullet the concrete outcomes we must achieve. - **Non-Goals:** Explicitly list what is out of scope. - **Success Metrics:** How will we measure impact? --- ## 2. Requirements & Constraints - **Functional Requirements:** Capabilities the system must provide. - **Non-Functional:** Performance, reliability, security, compliance. - **Assumptions:** Dependencies and environmental expectations. - **Risks & Mitigations:** Known risks with mitigation strategies. --- ## 3. Architecture Overview - **Solution Summary:** Two to three paragraphs summarising the design. - **Component Breakdown:** Table or bullets describing each major component, its responsibilities, and interactions. - **Data Flow:** Narrative + link/inline diagram showing how data moves through the system. - **External Integrations:** APIs, queues, services, or third-party dependencies. --- ## 4. Detailed Design For each subsystem or component: 1. **Purpose** – why it exists. 2. **Interfaces** – inputs, outputs, data contracts, schemas. 3. **Implementation Notes** – libraries, algorithms, patterns. 4. **Error Handling** – failure modes and recovery strategy. Repeat until every meaningful slice of the system is documented. --- ## 5. Directory Structure (Keep Updated) ``` /home/austin/projects/Scribe/MCP_SPINE/ # TODO: replace with the real directory tree for test-project ``` > Agents rely on this tree for orientation. Update whenever files are added, removed, or reorganised. --- ## 6. Data & Storage - **Datastores:** Tables/collections involved, with schema snapshots. - **Indexes & Performance:** Indexing strategy, retention, archival plans. - **Migrations:** Steps, ordering, rollback plan. --- ## 7. Testing & Validation Strategy - **Unit Tests:** Scope and coverage targets. - **Integration Tests:** Required environments, fixtures, and data sets. - **Manual QA:** Exploratory plans or acceptance walkthroughs. - **Observability:** Logging, metrics, tracing, alerting expectations. --- ## 8. Deployment & Operations - **Environments:** Dev/staging/prod differences. - **Release Process:** Automation, approvals, rollback. - **Configuration Management:** Secrets, feature flags, runtime toggles. - **Maintenance & Ownership:** On-call, SLOs, future work. --- ## 9. Open Questions & Follow-Ups | Item | Owner | Status | Notes | | ---- | ----- | ------ | ----- | | TBD | TBD | TBD | Capture decisions, blockers, or research tasks. | Close each question once answered and reference the relevant section above. --- ## 10. References & Appendix - Link to diagrams, ADRs, research notes, or external specs. - Include raw data, calculations, or supporting materials.
