Docs.

studio.chat — documentation map

README.md

Everything in docs/ is readable in the office at /office/library. Five directories, organized by audience and purpose, plus an archive. File names are kebab-case with no numeric prefixes; reading order lives here, not in file names.

Where things live

DirectoryWhatFor whom
business/What the company does and the policies it runs on — the overview, processes, pricing model and knobs, roadmap, open questions, launch checklistOwner, ops review, staff onboarding
guides/Plain-language walkthroughs of the toolsDesk staff
architecture/How the system is built — per surface (office, rentals, portal) and per concern (auth, data model, migrations, APIs)Engineers and agents
operations/Runbooks for recurring chores (media uploads, replacement-price refresh, gear-image sourcing)Whoever does the chore
website/The public site's brand, tone, copy reference, variants, and i18nCopy writers, agents editing the site
archive/Superseded designs and historical session journals — kept for the reasoning, not the facts. Nothing in here is current.Archaeology only

Reading order

  • New to the business? business/overview.mdbusiness/positioning.mdbusiness/processes.md.
  • Working the desk? guides/reservations.md, then the tooltips in the office teach the rest.
  • New agent session touching code? architecture/office.md (the load-bearing facts) → architecture/data-model.mdarchitecture/migrations.md (read this before any schema change) → whatever surface you're editing.
  • Writing copy? website/copy-guide.md (tone) → website/pages.md (what exists where) → website/copy-variants.md (the A/B system).
  • Tuning prices? business/pricing.md (the model) → business/pricing-settings.md (every knob, with launch guidance).

Conventions

  • A doc states what IS. Superseded content moves to archive/ (or just dies — git remembers); don't leave "this used to be different" trails outside an explicit history section.
  • New docs go in the directory matching their audience, kebab-case. If a doc doesn't fit any directory, question the doc.
  • Cross-link with relative paths (they resolve in the office reader and on GitHub). Images live next to their doc (see guides/assets/).
  • Decisions belong in the doc that owns the topic, dated when the date matters (e.g. "owner-decided, 2026-06"). The CHANGELOG records shipping; docs record policy and design.
