SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

HQ centralizes a company's persistent resources (repos, apps, services, databases, and infrastructure) and keeps them synchronized across machines using hq-sync, without Git, to maintain a single, accurate topology.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect, read, and update the registry to prevent duplicates and keep resource topology in sync across teammates.
  • Generate an auto-updating index for fast discovery and impact analysis.
  • Bootstrap a registry for a new company and keep manifest and registry aligned during operations like create, rename, or deprecate.

Quick Start

Detect the active registry and start by listing or updating resources through guided prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions about registry

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep resource topology synchronized across multiple machines without using Git?

To keep resource topology synchronized without Git, you can use hq-sync to centralize persistent resources and enforce cross-device consistency. This prevents duplicates and maintains an accurate company topology across machines.

How do I bootstrap a resource registry for a new company and keep it aligned?

To bootstrap a resource registry for a new company, you initialize the manifest and then use guided operations to create, rename, or deprecate resources. This ensures the manifest and registry remain aligned during all modifications.

What is the best way to generate an auto-updating index for infrastructure discovery?

Generating an auto-updating index for infrastructure discovery involves detecting and reading the active company registry. This process creates a flat index that enables fast resource discovery and impact analysis across the topology.

Can I store sensitive secrets in the company registry without exposing them in version control?

You cannot store sensitive secrets in the main company registry because the system prevents Git interactions entirely. Instead, you must configure and store machine-specific secrets in per-machine overrides to keep them isolated.

Does the registry enforce a specific schema for infrastructure resources like databases and apps?

Yes, the registry enforces a specific schema for infrastructure resources like databases and apps. Enforcing the registry schema ensures that ownership, references, and topology data remain consistent during cross-device synchronization.

Why does the registry prevent Git interactions when managing infrastructure topology?

The registry prevents Git interactions to maintain a single, accurate topology without the overhead or conflicts of version control branches. It relies on hq-sync to directly manage cross-device consistency and prevent duplicate resource entries.
