Documentation Flow Review

Status: Living Document

Overview

This document defines the recommended evolution of the Nivron documentation platform.

Rather than treating documentation as isolated pages, the project adopts a structured learning journey that progressively introduces concepts, architecture, implementation and operational guidance.


Current Assessment

The documentation platform already provides a strong visual identity and a consistent documentation experience.

Current maturity:

Section Status
Home Implemented
Getting Started Mature
Architecture Mature
Platform Planned
Administration Initial
Development Initial
Reference Growing

The remaining sections should evolve together with the platform implementation.


  1. Welcome to Nivron
  2. What is Nivron?
  3. The Operational Brain
  4. Core Concepts
  5. Architecture Overview
  6. Control Plane
  7. Execution Plane
  8. Mission Lifecycle
  9. Jobs and Scheduling
  10. Runtime and Connectors
  11. Identity, Organizations and Access
  12. Policies, Approvals and Audit
  13. Artifact Generation Engine
  14. Administration
  15. Development
  16. Reference

Each topic should prepare the reader for the next one.


Documentation Priorities

Priority Goal
1 Complete the Getting Started experience.
2 Build Architecture and Platform together.
3 Expand Administration from implemented capabilities.
4 Expand Development using established engineering practices.
5 Grow Reference as the authoritative technical source.

Definition of Done

A documentation page is considered complete when it contains:

  • Clear purpose.
  • Problem statement or concept.
  • One primary architectural idea.
  • Diagrams only when they improve understanding.
  • Operational workflow when applicable.
  • Practical examples.
  • Related topics.
  • Explicit next step.
  • Mobile and desktop validation.
  • Links to authoritative implementation or reference material.

Documentation is complete only when it accurately reflects the implemented platform.


Governance Principles

  • Documentation evolves together with implementation.
  • Every feature should include documentation before completion.
  • Architecture pages describe concepts.
  • Reference pages describe implementation.
  • Documentation should remain version-controlled and reviewable.
