Prucek commented Nov 20, 2025

I think it's a good idea, but I think we should invest more time in it. I feel like the documentation is very vague, not going into detail much, and repeating itself a bit:
ARCHITECTURE.md, CODEBASE_WALKTHROUGH.md, SETUP.md, SUMMARIES.md, USAGE.md, OVERVIEW.md, sounds pretty similar to me, I think I would prefer maybe just one or two. I would also like to add such a readme for every component (maybe also each package) we have, so that it is easy to start with claude on any tool.

Also I am not sure if we need these: CONTRIBUTING_GUIDE.md, FAQ.md, ONBOARDING.md, these would be a better fit in o/release maybe.

1-425: Documentation strategy: address scope creep and redundancy across files.

The three documents provided (ARCHITECTURE.md, pkg/controller/README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md) represent a comprehensive addition to the docs set. However, they highlight the core concern raised by the reviewer: overlapping scope and unclear document hierarchy.

Recommended documentation strategy:

  1. docs/README.md (hub): Entry point with brief descriptions of all doc files and a learning path
  2. docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: System architecture, design patterns, and component interactions (reference component-specific READMEs for details)
  3. docs/SETUP.md: Environment setup and quick-start (assuming it exists; not provided)
  4. docs/ONBOARDING.md (new): Consolidated learning roadmap and concepts (currently split between CONTRIBUTING.md and implicit in other docs)
  5. Component READMEs (cmd//README.md, pkg//README.md): Usage, implementation details, specific to each tool/package
  6. CONTRIBUTING.md: Contribution workflow, coding standards, and code review practices

Currently:

  • ARCHITECTURE.md includes usage examples that belong in cmd/*/README.md
  • CONTRIBUTING.md includes FAQ and onboarding that should be consolidated into docs/ONBOARDING.md
  • No clear hierarchy or cross-reference strategy

Action items for contributors:

  1. Extract "Core Components" usage details from ARCHITECTURE.md → into respective cmd/*/README.md files
  2. Extract "FAQ" and "Onboarding" from CONTRIBUTING.md → into docs/ONBOARDING.md
  3. Create docs/ONBOARDING.md with the 5-week roadmap from CONTRIBUTING.md
  4. Update docs/README.md to link all guides with a clear decision tree ("I want to understand architecture" → ARCHITECTURE.md; "I'm new" → ONBOARDING.md; etc.)
  5. Fix MD036 linting violations in both ARCHITECTURE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md

This approach respects the quality of the content while reducing reader confusion about which doc to consult.

🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (4)

1-10: Scope is too broad—consider narrowing to architecture only, with references to detailed guides.

This file attempts to cover system architecture, component details, usage examples, deployment topology, security architecture, and troubleshooting in one document (800+ lines). This creates maintenance challenges and makes it harder for readers to find what they need. The "Core Components" section (lines 292–386), usage examples (lines 387–528), and troubleshooting (lines 774–801) would be better suited to component-specific READMEs or separate operational guides.

Consider restructuring this to focus primarily on architecture and design while linking to dedicated guides for usage, troubleshooting, and deployment.


292-386: Core Components section partially overlaps with per-package READMEs.

Lines 292–386 provide implementation details (config loading flows, step execution, graph building, etc.) that may duplicate content in cmd/ci-operator/README.md, pkg/api/README.md, and pkg/steps/README.md. Instead of reproducing these details, link to those component-specific READMEs and keep this section focused on high-level responsibilities and interactions.

For example, rather than explaining how CI Operator works (lines 296–341), reference cmd/ci-operator/README.md and keep only the architectural role and interaction patterns here.


387-528: Usage Examples section should reference or defer to tool-specific READMEs.

The Usage Examples section (lines 387–528) covers how to invoke CI Operator, manage configs, promote images, and run controllers. This content would be better maintained in the respective tool READMEs (cmd/ci-operator/README.md, cmd/config-brancher/README.md, etc.) to avoid duplication as tools evolve.

Consider replacing this section with a "Common Workflows" summary and links to detailed usage in component READMEs.


62-78: Mermaid diagram styling is effective but could benefit from a legend.

The color-coded subgraphs in the high-level architecture diagram (lines 23–78) are visually helpful. However, without a legend explaining what each color represents (e.g., blue = core tools, orange = config, green = image mgmt), readers may need to infer the grouping. Consider adding a brief caption or legend to improve accessibility.

CONTRIBUTING.md (2)

284-366: FAQ content partially overlaps with ARCHITECTURE.md; consider consolidating or cross-referencing.

The FAQ section (lines 284–366) answers general questions (What is CI-Tools? Who maintains it? How do I get started?) and provides examples for building, testing, and debugging. Lines 295–297 reference docs/README.md, docs/SETUP.md, and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, which suggests multiple similar overview/getting-started documents exist.

Given feedback from the PR review about overlapping documentation, consider:

  1. Moving purely architectural FAQs (What is CI-Tools?) to ARCHITECTURE.md or a dedicated OVERVIEW.md
  2. Keeping procedural FAQs (How do I build? How do I debug?) in CONTRIBUTING.md
  3. Consolidating "Getting Started" content across the doc set to avoid duplication

This will reduce reader confusion about which doc to consult first.


367-413: Onboarding roadmap is valuable but better as a separate guide or in docs/README.md.

The "Onboarding for New Contributors" section (lines 367–413) provides a structured 5-week learning path with references to essential and recommended knowledge, key concepts, and a phased roadmap. This is excellent content.

However, placing it in CONTRIBUTING.md (which is primarily about contribution mechanics) dilutes its strategic importance. Consider:

  1. Creating a dedicated docs/ONBOARDING.md file or
  2. Moving this to docs/README.md as a central learning entry point
  3. Keeping only a link to it in CONTRIBUTING.md

This would make it more discoverable for newcomers and align with the suggestion to consolidate documentation.

pkg/controller/README.md (1)

1-92: Package README is well-scoped and aligns with documentation strategy.

This file serves its purpose effectively as a focused, package-level entry point. It avoids duplication with ARCHITECTURE.md (which is system-wide) and provides the right level of detail for developers working with the controller package. The structure is clear: overview → specific controllers → usage → pattern → utilities → related docs.

Consider this file as a template for other pkg/*/README.md files to ensure consistency.

CONTRIBUTING.md (1)

1-50: Contribution workflow guidance is clear and well-structured.

Lines 1–79 provide a practical, step-by-step guide for contributing: fork, branch, change, test, commit, push. This is accessible for new contributors and follows standard GitHub practices. The commit message guidelines (lines 61–65) and branch naming conventions (lines 82–88) are helpful.

No changes needed in this section.

cmd/clusterimageset-updater/README.md (2)

1-7: Add context for beginner-friendly documentation.

The README describes how the tool works but lacks foundational context on what ClusterImageSet and cluster pools are. Since the PR aims for "comprehensive beginner-friendly documentation," consider adding a brief explanation of these concepts upfront to help newcomers understand the tool's purpose in the broader ecosystem.

Additionally, lines 3 and the Overview section (line 7) restate the same information; consolidate to avoid redundancy.

# clusterimageset-updater

-Updates ClusterImageSet resources based on cluster pool specifications.

-## Overview
-
-This tool generates ClusterImageSet YAML files from cluster pool specifications. It reads cluster pool YAML files and creates corresponding ClusterImageSet resources for use in cluster provisioning.
+## Overview
+
+This tool generates ClusterImageSet YAML files from cluster pool specifications. ClusterImageSets define the OpenShift versions available for cluster provisioning, derived from cluster pool configurations.

9-20: Enhance the usage example with more concrete context.

The command example uses placeholder paths (/path/to/...) without indicating what these directories should contain or typical project layout. Add a brief note on directory structure or expected file naming patterns to make it more actionable for beginners.

## Usage

 ```bash
 clusterimageset-updater \
   --pools=/path/to/cluster-pools \
   --imagesets=/path/to/output

+This scans all *_clusterpool.yaml files in the pools directory and outputs corresponding *_clusterimageset.yaml files.

I think this is way better, but I would rather make it even better. Some of them are pretty good, but others lack details. I think we should combine the knowledge of ci-docs, o/release, branching doc, and the ci-tools with our knowledge and be pedantic on what it says. I would focus on one tool in more detail, let's say pj-rehearse:

  • understand how the code works along with the rehearse package
  • understand how it is deployed, also that we can test with the alpha deployment
  • what commands it does have
  • and combine with the doc in ci/docs
    so that it has a nice overall picture.
    I know this is really time-consuming, but I think it's worth it. You can't make that on your own. Everyone would need to help when they touch a tool and it doesn't have .md, make it. We can discuss this in our meetings. Until then, I would like to help you.

I think this does not bring much value, it has to be more detailed, with more examples

I'll spend more time rewriting this.
