Deep Wiki: Single Page Generation

Generate a comprehensive wiki page for the specified topic.

Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST)

Before generating any page, resolve the source repository context:

  1. Check for git remote: Run git remote get-url origin
  2. Ask the user: "Is this a local-only repository, or do you have a source repository URL?"
    • Remote URL → store as REPO_URL, use linked citations: [file:line](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/file#Lline)
    • Local → use (file_path:line_number)
  3. Determine default branch: Run git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
  4. Do NOT proceed until resolved

Inputs

The user will provide a topic/title and optionally specific file paths. Use $ARGUMENTS to determine what to document.

Depth Requirements (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

  1. TRACE ACTUAL CODE PATHS — Do not guess from file names. Read the implementation. If function A calls B calls C, follow it all the way.
  2. EVERY CLAIM NEEDS A SOURCE — File path + function/class name. "X calls Y" must include where.
  3. DISTINGUISH FACT FROM INFERENCE — If you read the code, say so. If inferring, mark it explicitly.
  4. FIRST PRINCIPLES — Explain WHY something exists before explaining what it does.
  5. NO HAND-WAVING — Don't say "this likely handles..." — read the code and state what it ACTUALLY does.

Mandatory Three-Phase Process

Phase 1: Strategic Planning (ALWAYS FIRST)

  1. Clarify the page's goals, audience, and deliverables
  2. Determine scope based on relevant file count:
    • ≤50 files: full coverage
    • 50–300 files: prioritize critical paths
    • 300 files: tiered sampling (entry points, domain models, data access, integration edges)

  3. Set documentation budget:
    • Small scope: ~2,000–3,000 words, 3 diagrams (2+ types)
    • Medium scope: ~3,000–5,000 words, 4 diagrams (3+ types)
    • Large/Complex: ~5,000–8,000+ words, 5–8 diagrams (4+ types)

Phase 2: Deep Code Analysis

  1. Read ALL relevant source files completely
  2. Identify: architecture patterns, design patterns, algorithms, data flow, state management
  3. Map: component dependencies, external integrations, API contracts
  4. Record citation anchors: file_path:line_number for every claim

Phase 3: Document Generation

Structure the page with:

  • VitePress frontmatter: title and description
  • Overview: purpose, scope, executive summary — explain WHY this exists
  • At-a-glance summary table: Key components/concepts with one-line descriptions and source links — readers should grasp the system in 30 seconds
  • Architecture / System Design: with graph TB/LR Mermaid diagram
  • Core Components: purpose, implementation, design patterns — use a table per component group with "Component", "Responsibility", "Key File", "Source" columns
  • Data Flow / Interactions: with sequenceDiagram (use autonumber)
  • State / Lifecycle: with stateDiagram-v2 if the system has meaningful state transitions
  • Data Model: with erDiagram if the system has entities or database tables
  • Implementation Details: key algorithms, error handling, state management
  • Configuration & Deployment: use tables for config options (Key, Default, Description, Source)
  • References: inline citations throughout using resolved format
  • Cross-references: Link to related wiki pages using relative Markdown links (e.g., [Data Flow](../02-architecture/data-flow.md)). Whenever a concept, component, or pattern is covered in more depth on another wiki page, link to it inline. Also add a "Related Pages" section at the end listing connected wiki pages.

Content Organization Rules

  • Progressive disclosure: Big picture first → drill into specifics. Don't front-load implementation details.
  • Distill, don't dump: Every paragraph should earn its place. If a section is just listing things, convert it to a table.
  • Tables over prose: For any structured data (APIs, parameters, configs, components, comparisons), ALWAYS use a table.
  • One idea per paragraph: Keep paragraphs focused and scannable. Use bold for key terms.
  • Section summaries: Start complex sections with a 1-2 sentence TL;DR before the details.
  • Visual rhythm: Alternate between prose, diagrams, tables, and code blocks — avoid long walls of text.

Mermaid Requirements

Include minimum 3 diagrams using at least 2 different types. More is better — aim for one diagram per major section:

TypeBest ForWhen to Use
graph TB/LRArchitecture, component relationshipsStructural overviews, dependency graphs
sequenceDiagramAPI flows, interactions (always use autonumber)Multi-step processes, request lifecycles
classDiagramClass hierarchies, interfacesDomain models, type relationships
stateDiagram-v2State machines, lifecycleStatus transitions, workflow states
erDiagramDatabase schema, entitiesData models, table relationships
flowchartData pipelines, decision treesConditional logic, error handling paths

Dark-mode colors (MANDATORY):

  • Node fills: #2d333b, borders: #6d5dfc, text: #e6edf3
  • Subgraph backgrounds: #161b22, borders: #30363d
  • Lines: #8b949e
  • If using inline style directives, use dark fills with ,color:#e6edf3
  • Do NOT use <br/> in labels (use <br> or line breaks)

Citation Rules (MANDATORY)

  • Every non-trivial claim uses the resolved citation format:
    • Remote: [src/path/file.ts:42](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/src/path/file.ts#L42)
    • Local: (src/path/file.ts:42)
    • Line ranges: [src/path/file.ts:42-58](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/src/path/file.ts#L42-L58)
  • Approximate: [src/path/file.ts:~ClassName](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/src/path/file.ts) or (src/path/file.ts:~ClassName)
  • Missing evidence: (Unknown – verify in path/to/check)
  • Minimum 5 different source files cited per page
  • Mermaid diagrams: Add <!-- Sources: file_path:line, file_path:line --> comment block after each diagram
  • Tables: Include a "Source" column with linked citations when listing components, APIs, or configurations

VitePress Compatibility

  • Escape generics outside code fences: use `List<T>` not bare List<T>
  • No <br/> in Mermaid blocks
  • All hex colors must be 3 or 6 digits (not 4 or 5)

Validation Checklist

Before finalizing, verify:

  • Source repository context resolved (remote URL or confirmed local)
  • All file paths mentioned actually exist in the repo
  • All class/method names are accurate (not hallucinated)
  • All citations use correct format (linked for remote, local otherwise)
  • Every Mermaid diagram has a <!-- Sources: ... --> comment block
  • Mermaid diagrams use dark-mode colors
  • No bare generics outside code fences
  • Every architectural claim has a file reference
