Documentation Overhaul: Best Practices, Architectural Patterns, and Usage Guidelines for MSML

[rororowyourboat]

Context

MSML documentation currently explains what exists but not how it should be used. This creates ambiguity for new users, inconsistent implementations, and a growing gap between MSML’s conceptual motivation and real-world usage.

---

Goals

• Make MSML easier to onboard into
• Encode architectural intent and best practices
• Reduce ambiguity in how core abstractions are composed

---

Scope

Add focused documentation covering:

• Conceptual overview: what MSML is for, and when to use it
• Core abstractions: responsibilities, intended usage, and anti-patterns
• Best practices: decomposition, granularity, naming, and scaling systems
• Common pitfalls: over-coupling, misuse of spaces/processors, leaky abstractions
• Examples: small, opinionated examples that scale in complexity

Documentation should be opinionated and prescriptive, not just descriptive.

---

Deliverables

• Updated README or docs index
• New markdown docs under /docs
• Cross-linked examples and guidance for new users
