reference - Functional Specification

Version: v1.2.3 | Status: Active | Last Updated: March 2026

Purpose

Technical reference documentation providing comprehensive API specifications, command-line interfaces, troubleshooting guides, and operational references for the Codomyrmex platform. This documentation directory serves as the authoritative technical reference for all platform capabilities.

The reference documentation is the go-to resource for detailed technical information, API specifications, and operational procedures.

Overview

Documentation files and guides for reference.

Design Principles

Modularity

  • Self-contained components
  • Clear boundaries
  • Minimal dependencies

Internal Coherence

  • Logical organization
  • Consistent patterns
  • Unified design

Parsimony

  • Essential elements only
  • No unnecessary complexity
  • Minimal surface area

Functionality

  • Focus on working solutions
  • Forward-looking design
  • Current needs focus

Testing

  • Comprehensive coverage
  • TDD practices
  • Real data analysis

Documentation

  • Self-documenting code
  • Clear APIs
  • Complete specifications

Architecture

Authoritative documentation is generated using auto_generate_docs.py and maintained through a multi-layered verification process. The hierarchy follows root -> category -> module -> sub-component, ensuring every level has consistent technical and human-readable references.

Functional Requirements

  • Accuracy: Every API reference must be verified against current function signatures using automated tools.
  • Completeness: All public modules must have a corresponding entry in the technical reference.
  • Searchability: Documentation structure should facilitate rapid information retrieval via localized AGENTS.md and root README.md.
  • Tutorial Integration: Reference materials should provide links to relevant tutorials in docs/getting-started/.

Quality Standards

  • Consistency: Use standardized terminology across all reference documentation.
  • Verifiability: Links in reference documentation must pass the comprehensive link validation check.
  • Updates: Every code change that alters a public interface must trigger a corresponding reference update.
  • Language: Use formal, technical language appropriate for a developer reference.

Interface Contracts

  • Document Formats: All reference files must adhere to the standardized markdown structure (Signposting, Purpose, Requirements, etc.).
  • URL Stability: Internal documentation links should remain stable across minor version updates.
  • Tooling: Reference generation depends on scripts/documentation/ utilities.

Implementation Guidelines

  • Review Cycle: Documentation must undergo a "triple check" (Accuracy, Consistency, Completeness).
  • Automation: Prefer automated reference generation over manual updates to prevent drift.
  • Feedback: Integrate user and agent feedback into the documentation polish process.
