knowledge-base-templates

Structured documentation templates provide standardized formats for codebase knowledge bases, including architecture diagrams, concept maps, and module documentation. This Skill generates ready-to-use templates like index.md, architecture.md, and modules.md to jumpstart comprehensive project documentation across single-project and monorepo structures.

Yes. This Skill provides two structure types: single-project templates and monorepo templates. Both support the same template set—index.md, concept_map.md, architecture.md, modules.md, patterns.md, dependencies.md, technology-matrix.md, and state.json—letting you standardize docs across different repository scales.

The Skill includes eight template types: index.md for overview, architecture.md for system design, modules.md for component breakdown, concept_map.md for relationships, patterns.md for design patterns, dependencies.md for dependency graphs, technology-matrix.md for tech stack inventory, and state.json for structured metadata.

Templates are designed for KB setup, onboarding, maintenance, and architectural documentation. They enforce consistent placeholder conventions, enable cross-document references, and include progressive loading guidance—allowing new team members to navigate codebases efficiently and maintainers to keep docs current.

Yes. Templates satisfy technical requirements for embedding-ready text with consistent placeholder conventions and cross-document references, enabling precise retrieval in scalable documentation workflows and supporting integration with knowledge retrieval systems.

Apply monorepo-specific templates from this Skill to enforce consistent documentation structure, placeholder conventions, and cross-document linking across multiple projects. This ensures uniform architectural documentation, dependency tracking, and onboarding materials throughout your repository.
