Project Management

Key Concepts

Core Architecture Principles

  1. Parse Once, Use Many Times - AST caching for 60-85% performance improvement
  2. Convention Over Configuration - Sensible defaults with minimal setup
  3. Schema-Driven Processing - Structured markdown with validation
  4. Relational Metadata - Database-powered document relationships

Performance Philosophy

MarkiTect treats markdown documents as structured, queryable data rather than plain text. This approach enables:

  • Lightning-fast document processing through intelligent caching
  • Complex querying and relationship management
  • Schema validation and consistency enforcement
  • Scalable performance that grows with your content

Contributing to Documentation

Documentation follows the same quality standards as code:

  1. Clear Structure - Logical organization and navigation
  2. Practical Examples - Real-world usage patterns
  3. Performance Context - Why architectural decisions matter
  4. User-Focused - Written for the intended audience

Documentation Standards

  • Use clear, concise language
  • Include practical examples
  • Explain the "why" behind design decisions
  • Keep technical accuracy as the highest priority
  • Update docs when changing functionality

This documentation is maintained alongside the codebase. For the most current information, always refer to the latest version in the repository.
