tomevault-io Documentation Structure
This skill defines how documentation is organized and maintained in this repository.
Core Principles
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Separation of Concerns | README (landing), docs/ (reference), CONTRIBUTING (dev workflow) |
| Single Source of Truth | Define once, link everywhere. Never duplicate content. |
| Hub-and-Spoke | docs/README.md is the central navigation hub |
| Vendor Isolation | Each AI platform gets its own directory in docs/ |
Document Responsibilities
User vs Developer Content Separation
CRITICAL RULE: User documentation must ONLY contain fully automated installation methods. All manual setup belongs in developer documentation.
| Content Type | User Docs | Developer Docs |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplace install | ✓ | ✓ |
| One-command GitHub install | ✓ | ✓ |
| git clone | ✗ | ✓ |
| --plugin-dir | ✗ | ✓ |
| extensions link | ✗ | ✓ |
| JSON config editing | ✗ | ✓ |
| Local path setup | ✗ | ✓ |
| mcp_settings.json | ✗ | ✓ |
User Documentation (README.md, docs/*/overview.md)
- Installation must be copy-paste simple
- Single command or UI-only steps
- Link to dev docs for manual alternatives
Developer Documentation (CONTRIBUTING.md, docs//-development.md)
- All manual setup workflows
- Local testing procedures
- Configuration file editing
- Environment setup
README.md (Landing Page)
Purpose: First impression. Get users started quickly.
Must include:
- One-line description
- Quick Start (4 steps: Choose → Install → Authenticate → Try)
- Capability tables (what users can do)
- Links to docs/ for details
Must NOT include:
- Full API reference (→ docs/mcp/)
- Development workflows (→ CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Detailed architecture (→ docs/)
docs/ (Reference Documentation)
Purpose: Complete reference for users and developers.
Structure:
docs/
├── README.md # Navigation hub
├── troubleshooting.md # Cross-platform issues

CONTRIBUTING.md (Development Workflow)
Purpose: How to modify THIS repository.
Must include:
- Clone and local dev setup
- How to test changes locally (
--plugin-dir, etc.) - Validation checklists
- PR process
Must NOT include:
- Full plugin/power architecture (→ docs/)
- User-facing tutorials (→ docs/)
Vendor Documentation Standards
Each vendor directory in docs/ follows this pattern:
Required Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
overview.md |
What is this integration, why use it, installation |
*-development.md |
How to build new plugins/powers/extensions |
| Individual component docs | One file per plugin/power |
Standard Sections in overview.md
## What are [Plugins/Powers/Extensions]?
## Why Use [Plugins/Powers] vs Direct MCP?
## Available [Plugins/Powers]
## Installation
## Authentication
## Related
Vendor-Specific Metadata
| Vendor | Config Format | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | plugin.json |
.claude-plugin/plugin.json |
| Kiro | POWER.md frontmatter | POWER.md |
| Gemini CLI | JSON extension | gemini-extension.json |
Cross-Reference Patterns
Link Format
- Within docs/: Use relative paths
[text](../mcp/tools-reference.md) - From README to docs/: Use
docs/prefix[text](docs/claude-code/overview.md) - External links: Full URLs
[text](https://developers.miro.com)
Required "Related" Section
Every doc file should end with a Related section:
## Related
- [Overview](overview.md) - Introduction to this integration
- [Tools Reference](../mcp/tools-reference.md) - MCP tool documentation
Reciprocal Links
If doc A links to doc B, doc B should link back to doc A in its Related section.
Validation Guidelines
Before committing documentation changes:
Content Checks
- No duplicated content (link instead)
- Correct document owns the content (README vs docs/ vs CONTRIBUTING)
- All sections present per vendor standards
Link Checks
- All internal links resolve
- Related sections have reciprocal links
- External links use HTTPS
Format Checks
- Code blocks have language specified
- Tables have consistent formatting
- Collapsibles have matching tags
