2025-11-02

This document represents an architectural proposal that was never implemented. The actual python3-development skill uses a different structure (references/ and commands/ directories) than the one proposed here (docs/scenarios/ and docs/standards/). Preserved for historical reference.

Reference Document Architecture

Executive Summary

This document defines the complete reference document structure for the opinionated-python-development skill implementing Claude Code progressive disclosure pattern to optimize token usage while maintaining comprehensive guidance.

The architecture follows three-level loading:

Level 2 (SKILL.md) core orchestration logic and decision trees
Level 3 (Reference Documents) deep content loaded on-demand

Key Design Principles:

Progressive disclosure minimize token consumption
Modular architecture enable independent framework updates
Scenario-specific loading only relevant content accessed
Token budget management estimated sizes and optimization strategies
Cross-reference integrity bidirectional linking with validation
Version independence documents evolve independently

3.2 Common Query Loading Patterns

Query: "Create a new CLI tool with Typer and Rich"

Loading Sequence:

metadata.json (1 KB) - Skill identification
SKILL.md (15 KB) - Routing logic determines "Human-Facing CLI"
docs/scenarios/cli-human-facing.md (12 KB) - Scenario guide
docs/frameworks/typer-rich/standards.md (10 KB) - Framework requirements
docs/processes/pep723-workflow.md (8 KB) - Creation workflow
docs/templates/pep723/cli-tool-typer.py (3 KB) - Code template

Total Loaded: 49 KB (~12250 tokens) NFR Target: <75 KB Status: PASS ✅ (66% of budget)

Execution Time (NFR-PERF-1):

Metadata load: <1s
SKILL.md + routing: <2s
Scenario + framework docs: <3s
Templates: <1s
Total: <7s (target <6s - MARGINAL ⚠️)

Optimization: Cache SKILL.md after first load reduce to <6s total

Query: "Fix type checking errors in my code"

Loading Sequence:

metadata.json (1 KB) - Skill identification
SKILL.md (15 KB) - Routing to validation/type-checking
docs/standards/type-hints.md (8 KB) - Type annotation standards
docs/processes/linting-resolution.md (10 KB) - Resolution workflow
docs/tools/development-tools.md (10 KB) - mypy pyright usage

Total Loaded: 44 KB (~11000 tokens) NFR Target: <60 KB Status: PASS ✅ (73% of budget)

Execution Time: <6s

3.3 Caching Strategy

Claude Code Caching Behavior (assumed):

Recently accessed documents remain in context
Frequently accessed documents cached across sessions
Cache invalidation on document updates

Optimization Strategy:

Tier 1: Always Cache (accessed in 80%+ queries):

metadata.json (1 KB)
SKILL.md (15 KB)
docs/standards/validation.md (8 KB)
docs/standards/type-hints.md (8 KB)

Total Tier 1: 32 KB - Keep in hot cache

Tier 2: Scenario Cache (accessed for specific scenarios):

docs/scenarios/cli-human-facing.md (12 KB) - Most common scenario
docs/frameworks/typer-rich/standards.md (10 KB) - Most common framework
docs/processes/pep723-workflow.md (8 KB) - Common workflow

Total Tier 2: 30 KB - Cache when scenario active

Tier 3: On-Demand (less frequent access):

All other documentation
Load as needed clear from cache after use

Performance Impact:

Cold start (no cache): 5-7s
Warm cache (Tier 1): 3-4s
Hot cache (Tier 1 + Tier 2): 2-3s

NFR Compliance: Warm cache achieves <6s target ✅

4. Cross-Reference Strategy

4.1 Reference Types

@ File References:

@docs/scenarios/cli-human-facing.md - Full document reference @docs/standards/type-hints.md#python-311-generics - Section reference @pattern-extraction.md#L429-L461 - Line range reference

Anchor Links:

[See Type Hints Standard](#type-hints-standard) - Internal document link [Related Process](../processes/tdd-workflow.md#red-phase) - Cross-document section link

Bidirectional Linking: Every reference MUST have reverse reference in target document

Example:

# In docs/scenarios/cli-human-facing.md

Related frameworks: @docs/frameworks/typer-rich/standards.md

# In docs/frameworks/typer-rich/standards.md

Used by scenarios: @docs/scenarios/cli-human-facing.md

5. Token Budget Management

5.1 Document Size Targets

Size Constraints (NFR-PERF-3):

Document Type	Target Size	Token Estimate	Enforcement
Scenario	10-15 KB	2500-3750	SHOULD
Standard	6-10 KB	1500-2500	SHOULD
Framework/standards	8-12 KB	2000-3000	SHOULD
Framework/patterns	12-18 KB	3000-4500	SHOULD
Process	7-10 KB	1750-2500	SHOULD
Tool	8-12 KB	2000-3000	SHOULD
Template	2-4 KB	500-1000	MUST

Conversion Factor: ~4 chars/token (empirical for code/markdown)

5.2 Size Optimization Strategies

Strategy 1: External Examples

Move large code examples to templates directory
Reference examples rather than embedding
Reduces scenario/framework document size

Strategy 2: Targeted Loading

Load only relevant framework (not all frameworks)
Load only required standard (not all standards)
Progressive disclosure at section level

Strategy 3: Content Compression

Use tables instead of prose where appropriate
Use mermaid diagrams for complex relationships
Link to authoritative sources rather than duplicating

Strategy 4: Lazy Loading

Load "Common Pitfalls" section only when requested
Load "Migration Guide" only for legacy code
Load "External Resources" only when needed

5.3 Size Monitoring

Automated Size Tracking:

#!/bin/bash
# monitor-doc-sizes.sh

echo "Document Size Report"
echo "===================="
echo

for category in scenarios standards frameworks processes tools templates; do
    echo "$category:"
    find docs/$category -name "*.md" -exec sh -c '
        size=$(wc -c < "$1")
        tokens=$((size / 4))
        name=$(basename "$1")
        printf "  %-30s %6d bytes %5d tokens\n" "$name" "$size" "$tokens"
    ' _ {} \;
    echo
done

# Check for oversized documents
echo "Oversized Documents (>20 KB):"
find docs -name "*.md" -size +20k -exec sh -c '
    size=$(wc -c < "$1")
    tokens=$((size / 4))
    printf "  ⚠️  %s: %d bytes (%d tokens)\n" "$1" "$size" "$tokens"
' _ {} \;

CI/CD Integration: Run size monitor on every commit fail if documents exceed targets by >20%

6. Content Update Strategy

6.1 Version Management

Document Versioning:

Each document has independent version in frontmatter
Follows semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
MAJOR: Breaking changes to document structure/requirements
MINOR: New content additions examples patterns
PATCH: Clarifications typo fixes formatting

Skill Versioning:

Skill has overall version in metadata.json
Skill version bumps when multiple documents updated
Skill MAJOR bump: Breaking changes to core requirements
Skill MINOR bump: New scenarios/frameworks added
Skill PATCH bump: Documentation improvements

Example:

# In docs/scenarios/cli-human-facing.md
---
version: "1.2.0" # Document version
---
# In metadata.json
{
  "version": "1.5.0", # Skill version
}

6.2 Update Triggers

MUST Update Document When:

Python version support changes (e.g. Python 3.15 released)
Framework version requirement changes (e.g. Typer 0.20 released)
Tool version updates with breaking changes
Standards change based on new PEPs
Validation discovers broken examples

SHOULD Update Document When:

New patterns discovered in usage
Common pitfalls identified
Better examples created
User feedback suggests improvements

MAY Update Document When:

Formatting improvements possible
Diagrams can be enhanced
Cross-references can be optimized

6.3 Deprecation Workflow

Deprecating a Requirement:

Add deprecation notice to document (90 days before removal)
Update examples to show new pattern
Provide migration guide
Bump document MINOR version
After 90 days: Remove deprecated content bump MAJOR version

Example:

## Legacy Pattern (DEPRECATED)

> **Deprecation Notice**: This pattern is deprecated as of 2025-10-21 and will be removed in version 2.0.0 (estimated 2026-01-21).
>
> **Reason**: Python 3.11+ native generics replace legacy typing imports.
>
> **Migration**: See [Modern Pattern](#modern-pattern) below.

### Deprecated Code

\```python from typing import List, Dict # DEPRECATED \```

## Modern Pattern (CURRENT)

\```python

# Use native generics (Python 3.11+)

def process(items: list[str]) -> dict[str, int]: pass \```

6.4 Dependency Tracking

Document Dependencies (in frontmatter):

related_docs:
  - @docs/standards/type-hints.md
  - @docs/frameworks/typer-rich/standards.md
dependencies:
  - typer>=0.19.2
  - ruff
  - mypy
python_versions: [3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14]

Update Propagation:

When type-hints.md updates all documents listing it in related_docs flagged for review
When Python 3.15 releases all documents listing python_versions updated
Automated tool generates "Needs Review" report

Dependency Update Tool:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Track document dependencies and flag updates."""

from pathlib import Path
import yaml

def extract_dependencies(doc_path: Path) -> dict:
    """Extract dependencies from document frontmatter."""
    content = doc_path.read_text()

    # Extract YAML frontmatter
    if content.startswith('---'):
        end = content.find('---', 3)
        if end > 0:
            frontmatter = yaml.safe_load(content[3:end])
            return frontmatter

    return {}

def find_dependent_documents(target_doc: Path, skill_root: Path) -> list[Path]:
    """Find all documents that depend on target document."""
    dependents = []

    for doc_path in skill_root.rglob("*.md"):
        deps = extract_dependencies(doc_path)
        related = deps.get('related_docs', [])

        # Check if target_doc in related_docs
        target_ref = str(target_doc.relative_to(skill_root))
        if f"@{target_ref}" in ' '.join(related):
            dependents.append(doc_path)

    return dependents

# Usage: When updating type-hints.md find all dependents
# Generate review checklist for each dependent

    # Calculate total size
    total_size = sum(len(x) for x in [metadata, skill_md, cli_scenario, typer_standards, pep723_workflow, cli_template])
    total_kb = total_size / 1024

    # Validate
    assert duration < 6.0, f"Loading took {duration:.2f}s (target <6s)"
    assert total_kb < 75, f"Loaded {total_kb:.1f} KB (target <75 KB)"

    print(f"✅ CLI tool creation: {duration:.2f}s {total_kb:.1f} KB")

def test_code_review_sequence():
    """Test loading sequence for code review."""
    # Similar structure
    pass

def test_all_sequences():

    test_cli_tool_creation_sequence()
    test_code_review_sequence()
    # ... other sequences

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_all_sequences()

Cross-Reference Validation: Run cross-reference validation script (Section 4.3) ensure 100% references valid

Size Budget Validation: Run size monitoring script (Section 5.3) ensure all documents within targets

Performance Benchmarks: Measure loading times on reference hardware compare against NFR targets
