About

Manages project documentation using a Johnny Decimal numbered folder convention such as docs/20-architecture. A developer uses it to structure and locate docs in a consistent hierarchy.

  • Johnny Decimal doc structure
  • Detected via .jd-config.json or docs/20-architecture/

Johnny.Decimal Documentation

Scaffold, validate, and maintain Johnny.Decimal documentation structure with sensible defaults and per-project customization.

Quick Start

# Scaffold a new structure
uv run scripts/jd_init.py --dry-run   # Preview first
uv run scripts/jd_init.py             # Create docs/ with defaults
uv run scripts/jd_init.py --diataxis  # Include Diataxis areas (41-44)

# Validate existing structure
uv run scripts/jd_validate.py --dir docs

# Regenerate README index
uv run scripts/jd_index.py --dir docs

# Day-2: Add a new area
uv run scripts/jd_add_area.py --prefix 40 --name operations --dry-run

# Day-2: Classify unorganized files
uv run scripts/jd_classify.py docs/*.md
uv run scripts/jd_classify.py docs/*.md --diataxis  # With quadrant info

# Day-2: Move a file to an area
uv run scripts/jd_add.py docs/roadmap.md 00 --dry-run

See WORKFLOW.md for the full methodology.

Capabilities

  • Scaffolding (jd_init.py) — Create J.D directory tree with README templates; supports --product for monorepo sub-trees, --init-config to generate .jd-config.json, and --diataxis to include Diataxis quadrant areas (41-44)
  • Validation (jd_validate.py) — Check NN-kebab-case naming, detect orphan files, verify README presence per area; --strict for CI enforcement
  • Index generation (jd_index.py) — Generate/update root README with table or tree index; preserves custom content via <!-- JD:INDEX:START/END --> markers
  • Migration (Claude-driven) — Classify flat docs into J.D areas using naming heuristics, present a move plan, execute interactively

Day-2 Operations

  • Add area (jd_add_area.py) — Create a new J.D area with prefix, name, README stub, config update, and auto re-index
  • Classify (jd_classify.py) — Classify files into areas using keyword heuristics with confidence scoring (high/medium/low); --diataxis adds Diataxis quadrant column, --diataxis-move routes files to quadrant areas (41-44)
  • Add/move file (jd_add.py) — Move a file to an area with auto-normalized kebab-case naming and cross-reference detection

Default Area Scheme

PrefixNamePurpose
00-getting-startedOnboarding, setup, quick start, MVP
10-productSpecs, features, roadmap, design, branding
20-architectureTech decisions, system design, integration
30-researchSpikes, investigations, reference material
90-archiveHistorical/deprecated docs

Gap at 40-80 reserved for per-project customization (e.g., 40-operations).

With `--diataxis`, areas 41-44 are added for Diataxis quadrants:

| 41- | tutorials | Tutorials — step-by-step lessons (Diataxis) | | 42- | how-to | How-to guides — practical tasks (Diataxis) | | 43- | reference | Reference — technical descriptions (Diataxis) | | 44- | explanation | Explanation — conceptual discussions (Diataxis) |

Config File (.jd-config.json)

Optional per-project override at project root:

{
  "version": 1,
  "root": "docs",
  "areas": { "00": "getting-started", "10": "product", "20": "architecture", "30": "research", "90": "archive" },
  "products": [],
  "ignore": ["adr", "*.pdf"],
  "readme_format": "table"
}

Create with uv run scripts/jd_init.py --init-config. All fields have sensible defaults.

Common Issues

IssueFix
uv not found`curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh \
Orphan files in validationMove to area dir, or add to "ignore" in .jd-config.json
Index appended at wrong positionMove <!-- JD:INDEX:START/END --> markers to desired location after first run
Low confidence on all filesExpand keywords in config or use Claude-driven classification
