System Specification System

VirtualBoard's system specification system provides structured documentation for cross-cutting concerns:

Template-Based Approach

All system specs are created from templates in the /templates/specs directory:

  • Copy templates to /specs for your project
  • Each template covers a different cross-cutting concern
  • Templates are designed for reusability and consistency

Schema Validation

System specs validate against /schemas/system-spec.schema.json to ensure proper structure:

  • All required sections are present
  • Content follows established formatting guidelines
  • Technical terminology is consistent across specs

Best Practices

System specs follow established best practices for documentation:

  • Consistent naming conventions
  • Clear structure and organization
  • Proper validation and quality checks

System Spec Templates

VirtualBoard provides templates for creating system specifications:

System Spec Categories

System Spec Implementation

System specs are structured to provide consistent, reusable documentation:

Template-Based Approach

All system specs are created from templates in the /templates/specs directory:

# Copy templates to /specs for your project
cp -r templates/specs/* specs/

Schema Validation

System specs validate against /schemas/system-spec.schema.json to ensure proper structure:

# Validation ensures:
# - All required sections are present
# - Content follows established formatting guidelines  
# - Technical terminology is consistent across specs

System Spec Best Practices

To get the most from VirtualBoard's system specification system:

  1. Use templates in /templates/specs to create project-specific system specs
  2. Ensure all generated content follows the VirtualBoard design system
  3. Validate system specs regularly to catch issues early
  4. Update templates as the project evolves to maintain consistency
  5. Use proper naming conventions for system spec files
