This directory contains centralized technical documentation for the LIF system. Its purpose is to support contributors and operators by providing reference material that is not tied to specific modules, components, or deployment configurations elsewhere in the repository.
The docs/ directory is intended to:
- Capture technical guidance on developing or deploying LIF components
- Document contribution processes, governance, and project roles
- Serve as a reference for engineers and DevOps personnel working with the monorepo structure
This is distinct from user-facing or high-level functional documentation, which resides here {insert link when we have it}.
index.md– Entry point or overview for the technical documentationCONTRIBUTING.md– Guidelines for submitting code, filing issues, and collaborating effectivelyCOMMITTERS.md– List of project committers and governance roles
Additional Markdown files, diagrams, and supporting assets may be added over time as the system evolves.
The documentation in this directory is written for:
- Developers contributing to the LIF architecture or components
- DevOps and platform engineers deploying or integrating LIF services
- Internal stakeholders who need insight into engineering standards, tooling, and project structure
For broader LIF system overviews, user guides, or high-level architecture, please refer to:
LIF System Overview and General Docs
(Update link when available.)
If you are adding or updating documentation:
- Keep files focused and scoped by topic
- Use clear section headings and consistent formatting
- Prefer Markdown (
.md) for compatibility and readability - Place related images or diagrams in a subfolder, if needed
