SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Explicitly captures and enforces versioned technology decisions, preventing drift and unvetted choices by loading Ring Standards and TRD decisions before proceeding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explicit, versioned dependency mapping with documented rationales
  • Validates against Ring Standards and PROJECT_RULES.md (TRD-driven)
  • Generates and maintains governance-ready docs for licensing, costs, and compatibility
  • Use Case: For a large feature, lock exact versions across the tech stack and produce a compliance-ready dependency map

Quick Start

Load Ring Standards and TRD-driven decisions, then generate the dependency-map document for the feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a versioned dependency map for reproducible builds?

Generate a dependency map by loading Ring Standards and TRD decisions to lock exact versions, document rationales, and validate choices against governance rules. This prevents tech drift and ensures reproducible builds.

What is a TRD-aligned dependency map and when do I need one?

A TRD-aligned dependency map is a governance artifact that documents the mapping of Technical Requirements Document components to specific, versioned technology choices. You need it when preparing for Gate 6 readiness and enforcing auditable tech decisions.

How do I enforce explicit tech choices and prevent unvetted dependencies?

Enforce explicit tech choices by loading Ring Standards and PROJECT_RULES.md before proceeding, validating your stack against governance gates. This ensures all dependencies have documented rationales, licensing, and cost considerations.

Does this dependency mapping approach support licensing and cost compliance documentation?

Yes, dependency mapping supports compliance by generating governance-ready documents that explicitly capture licensing, cost considerations, and compatibility rationales alongside your versioned tech choices.

What's the best way to lock exact dependency versions across a large feature stack?

The best way to lock exact versions is to generate an explicit dependency map document for the feature, validating every technology choice against Ring Standards and TRD decisions to maintain compliance and compatibility.
