# doc-forge — Architecture & Design Specification
**doc-forge** is a renderer-agnostic Python documentation compiler. It converts Python source code and docstrings into a structured, semantic documentation model and then emits multiple downstream representations, including:
* Human-facing documentation sites (MkDocs, Sphinx)
* Machine-facing documentation bundles (MCP JSON)
* Live documentation APIs (MCP servers)
This document is the **authoritative design and codebase specification** for the library. It is written to be both **LLM-friendly** and **developer-facing**, and should be treated as the canonical reference for implementation decisions.
---
## 1. Design Goals
1. **Single Source of Truth**
Python source code and docstrings are the only authoritative input.
2. **Renderer Agnosticism**
MkDocs, Sphinx, MCP, or future renderers must not influence the core model.
3. **Deterministic Output**
Given the same codebase, outputs must be reproducible.
4. **AI-Native Documentation**
Documentation must be structured, queryable, and machine-consumable.
5. **Library-First, CLI-Second**
All functionality must be accessible as a Python API. The CLI is a thin wrapper.
---
## 2. Core Mental Model
### Fundamental Abstraction
> **The atomic unit of documentation is a Python import path**
Examples:
* `mail_intake`
* `mail_intake.config`
* `mail_intake.adapters.base`
Files, Markdown, HTML, and JSON are *representations*, not documentation units.
---
## 3. High-Level Architecture
```
Python Source Code
↓
Introspection Layer (Griffe)
↓
Documentation Model (doc-forge core)
↓
Renderer / Exporter Layer
├── MkDocs
├── Sphinx
├── MCP (static JSON)
└── MCP Server (live)
```
Only the **Documentation Model** is shared across all outputs.
---
## 4. Package Layout (Proposed)
```
docforge/
├── __init__.py
├── model/
│ ├── project.py
│ ├── module.py
│ ├── object.py
│ └── nav.py
├── loader/
│ └── griffe_loader.py
├── renderers/
│ ├── base.py
│ ├── mkdocs.py
│ └── sphinx.py
├── exporters/
│ └── mcp.py
├── server/
│ └── mcp_server.py
├── cli/
│ └── main.py
└── utils/
```
---
## 5. Documentation Model (Core)
The documentation model is renderer-neutral and must not contain any MkDocs-, Sphinx-, or MCP-specific logic.
### 5.1 Project
```python
class Project:
name: str
version: str | None
modules: dict[str, Module]
nav: Navigation
```
---
### 5.2 Module
```python
class Module:
path: str # import path
docstring: str | None
members: dict[str, DocObject]
```
---
### 5.3 DocObject
Represents classes, functions, variables, etc.
```python
class DocObject:
name: str
kind: str # class, function, attribute, module
path: str
signature: str | None
docstring: str | None
members: dict[str, DocObject]
```
Private members (`_name`) are excluded by default.
---
### 5.4 Navigation
```python
class Navigation:
entries: list[NavEntry]
class NavEntry:
title: str
module: str
```
Navigation is derived, not authored.
---
## 6. Introspection Layer
### 6.1 Griffe Loader
Griffe is the **only supported introspection backend**.
Responsibilities:
* Load modules by import path
* Resolve docstrings, signatures, and members
* Tolerate alias resolution failures
Output: fully populated `Project` and `Module` objects.
---
## 7. Renderer Interface
Renderers consume the documentation model and emit renderer-specific source trees.
```python
class DocRenderer(Protocol):
name: str
def generate_sources(self, project: Project, out_dir: Path) -> None:
"""Generate renderer-specific source files."""
def build(self, config: RendererConfig) -> None:
"""Build final artifacts (HTML, site, etc.)."""
def serve(self, config: RendererConfig) -> None:
"""Serve documentation locally (optional)."""
```
---
## 8. MkDocs Renderer
### Source Generation
* Emits `.md` files
* One file per module
* Uses `mkdocstrings` directives exclusively
```md
# Config
::: mail_intake.config
```
### Build
* Uses `mkdocs.commands.build`
### Serve
* Uses `mkdocs.commands.serve`
MkDocs-specific configuration lives outside the core model.
---
## 9. Sphinx Renderer
### Source Generation
* Emits `.rst` files
* Uses `autodoc` directives
```rst
mail_intake.config
==================
.. automodule:: mail_intake.config
:members:
:undoc-members:
```
### Build
* Uses `sphinx.application.Sphinx` directly
### Serve
* Optional (static build is sufficient)
---
## 10. MCP Exporter (Static)
The MCP exporter bypasses renderers entirely.
### Output Structure
```
mcp/
├── index.json
├── nav.json
└── modules/
└── package.module.json
```
### Design Principles
* Alias-safe
* Deterministic
* Fully self-contained
* No Markdown, HTML, or templates
---
## 11. MCP Server (Live)
The MCP server exposes documentation as queryable resources.
### Resources
* `docs://index`
* `docs://nav`
* `docs://module/{module}`
### Characteristics
* Read-only
* Stateless
* Backed by MCP JSON bundle
---
## 12. CLI Design
The CLI is a thin orchestration layer.
```bash
doc-forge generate --renderer mkdocs
doc-forge generate --renderer sphinx
doc-forge build --renderer mkdocs
doc-forge serve --renderer mkdocs
doc-forge export mcp
```
Renderer choice never affects the core model.
---
## 13. Explicit Non-Goals
* Markdown authoring
* Theme design
* Runtime code execution
* Code formatting or linting
---
## 14. Invariants (Must Never Break)
1. Import paths are canonical identifiers
2. Core model contains no renderer logic
3. MCP does not depend on MkDocs or Sphinx
4. Renderers do not introspect Python directly
5. All outputs trace back to the same model
---
## 15. One-Line Definition
> **doc-forge is a documentation compiler that turns Python code into structured knowledge and emits it through multiple human and machine interfaces.**
---
*End of specification.*
