Architecture & Docs Governance — Capability
Purpose
Document the system of systems and govern its architecture: repository digests, capability architecture, layered model, ADRs, principles, and diagrams — the portal you are reading. It turns a scattered set of repos into an architectural source of truth.

Business value
A single onboarding guide, AI-context source, and architectural reference — and, later, a public showcase of the ecosystem’s scale and sophistication.
Technical responsibilities
- Maintain digests, capability registry, layered architecture, ADRs, principles, current-state, and
llms.txt. - Enforce evidence-first, honestly-labelled documentation (Principle 8).
- Not responsible for building the systems it documents.
Owning repository or repositories
| Repo | Role |

documentation-writer, senior-architect, site-architecture, create-llms, knowledge-ops |
Consuming repositories / consumers
- Every repo & venture is a subject; humans and AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT) are the consumers of the docs.
Consuming ventures
- All — as onboarding and architectural reference.
Inputs
- Source repos’ docs (CLAUDE.md, READMEs, ADRs), evidence hunts, and architectural decisions.
Outputs
- Repo/venture/capability digests, architecture diagrams, ADRs, principles,
llms.txt, the future showcase.
Dependencies
- Reusable AI Skills (documentation & architecture skills).

Current maturity
✅ Operational. The portal actively documents 4 systems across 4 layers with capability architecture,
diagrams, principles, and ADRs. Automation (portfolio-portal-orchestrator) is spec-only.
Planned evolution
Implement the orchestrator (Phase D) to auto-generate digests/diagrams; build the public showcase (Phase C).
