**Divio Type Organization**:

- **Tutorials** (`tutorials/`): Learning-oriented, hands-on lessons for beginners
- **How-To Guides** (`how-to/`): Goal-oriented recipes for specific tasks
- **Reference** (`reference/`): Information-oriented technical specifications
- **Explanation** (`explanation/`): Understanding-oriented concept discussions

## Phase 0: Research

### Objective

[For gap-filling mode] Audit existing documentation, classify into Divio types, identify gaps and priorities.
[For initial mode] Research documentation best practices, evaluate framework options, plan structure.

### Research Tasks

1. **Documentation Audit** (gap-filling mode only)
   - Scan existing documentation directory for markdown files
   - Parse frontmatter to classify Divio type
   - Build coverage matrix: which features/areas have which documentation types
   - Identify high-priority gaps (e.g., no tutorials for key workflows)
   - Calculate coverage percentage

2. **Generator Setup Research**
   - Verify JSDoc installed: `npx jsdoc --version`
   - Verify Sphinx installed: `sphinx-build --version`
   - Verify rustdoc available: `cargo doc --help`
   - Research configuration options for each applicable generator
   - Plan integration strategy for generated + manual docs

3. **Divio Template Research**
   - Review Write the Docs guidance for each documentation type
   - Identify examples of effective tutorials, how-tos, reference, and explanation docs
   - Plan section structure appropriate for each type
   - Consider target audience knowledge level

4. **Framework Selection** (if starting fresh)
   - Evaluate static site generators (Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, Jekyll, Hugo)
   - Consider language ecosystem (Python project → Sphinx, JavaScript → Docusaurus)
   - Review hosting options and deployment complexity
   - Select theme that meets accessibility requirements

### Research Output

See [research.md](research.md) for detailed findings on:

- Gap analysis results (coverage matrix, prioritized gaps)
- Generator configuration research
- Divio template examples
- Framework selection rationale

## Phase 1: Design

### Objective

Define documentation structure, configure generators, plan content outline for each Divio type.

### Documentation Structure

**Directory Layout**:

```
docs/
├── index.md                    # Landing page
├── tutorials/                  # Learning-oriented
├── how-to/                     # Problem-solving
├── reference/                  # Technical specs
└── explanation/                # Understanding
```

**Navigation Strategy**:

- Landing page links to all four Divio sections
- Each section has clear purpose statement
- Cross-links between types (tutorials → reference, how-tos → explanation)
- Search functionality (if framework supports it)

### Generator Configurations

**Sphinx Configuration** (Python):

```python
# docs/conf.py
project = '[PROJECT NAME]'
extensions = [
    'sphinx.ext.autodoc',      # Generate docs from docstrings
    'sphinx.ext.napoleon',     # Support Google/NumPy docstring styles
    'sphinx.ext.viewcode',     # Add source code links
    'sphinx.ext.intersphinx',  # Link to other projects' docs
]
html_theme = 'sphinx_rtd_theme'
html_static_path = ['_static']
```

**JSDoc Configuration** (JavaScript):

```json
{
  "source": {
    "include": ["src/"],
    "includePattern": ".+\\.js$",
    "excludePattern": "(node_modules/|test/)"
  },
  "opts": {
    "destination": "docs/reference/api/javascript",
    "template": "node_modules/docdash",
    "recurse": true
  },
  "plugins": ["plugins/markdown"]
}
```

**rustdoc Configuration** (Rust):

```toml
# Cargo.toml
[package.metadata.docs.rs]
all-features = true
rustdoc-args = ["--document-private-items"]
```

### Content Outline

**Tutorials** (WP02 in tasks):

- Getting Started (installation, first use, basic concepts)
- [Additional tutorials based on key user journeys]

**How-To Guides** (WP03 in tasks):

- How to [solve specific problem 1]
- How to [solve specific problem 2]
- [Additional guides based on common tasks]

**Reference** (WP04 in tasks):

- API Reference (generated from code)
- CLI Reference (manual)
- Configuration Reference (manual)

**Explanation** (WP05 in tasks):

- Architecture Overview (design decisions, system structure)
- Core Concepts (domain concepts explained)
- [Additional explanations as needed]

### Work Breakdown Preview

Detailed work packages will be generated in Phase 2 (tasks.md). High-level packages:

1. **WP01: Documentation Structure Setup** - Create directories, configure generators, set up build
2. **WP02: Tutorial Documentation** - Write learning-oriented tutorials
3. **WP03: How-To Guide Documentation** - Write problem-solving guides
4. **WP04: Reference Documentation** - Generate API docs, write manual reference
5. **WP05: Explanation Documentation** - Write understanding-oriented explanations
6. **WP06: Quality Validation & Publishing** - Validate accessibility, build, deploy

## Phase 2: Implementation

**Note**: Phase 2 (work package generation) is handled by the `/spec-kitty.tasks` command.

## Success Criteria Validation

Validating against spec.md success criteria:

- **SC-001** (findability): Structured navigation and search enable quick information access
- **SC-002** (accessibility): Templates enforce proper headings, alt text, clear language
- **SC-003** (API completeness): Generators ensure comprehensive API coverage
- **SC-004** (task completion): Tutorials and how-tos enable users to succeed independently
- **SC-005** (build quality): Documentation builds without errors or warnings

## Charter Check

*GATE: Documentation mission requires adherence to Write the Docs best practices and Divio principles.*

**Write the Docs Principles**:

- Documentation as code (version controlled, reviewed, tested)
- Accessible language (clear, plain, bias-free)
- User-focused (written for audience, not developers)
- Maintained (updated with code changes)

**Divio Documentation System**:

- Four distinct types with clear purposes
- Learning-oriented tutorials
- Goal-oriented how-tos
- Information-oriented reference
- Understanding-oriented explanations

**Accessibility Standards**:

- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
- Proper heading hierarchy
- Alt text for all images
- Sufficient color contrast
- Keyboard navigation support

## Risks & Dependencies

**Risks**:

- Documentation becomes outdated as code evolves
- Generated documentation quality depends on code comment quality
- Accessibility requirements may require manual auditing
- Framework limitations may restrict functionality

**Dependencies**:

- Generator tools must be installed in development environment
- Code must have comments/docstrings for reference generation
- Hosting platform must be available and accessible
- Build pipeline must support documentation generation
