@tractorjuice tractorjuice released this 04 Feb 07:16

External Document Support

ArcKit commands can now auto-discover and consume user-provided external documents — vendor HLDs, policy docs, pen test reports, RFPs, audit reports, existing schemas, and architecture diagram images. All 39 commands and 4 agents have been updated.

How It Works

  • Place files in standard locations:
    • projects/{project}/external/ — project-specific external docs
    • projects/{project}/vendors/{vendor}/ — vendor submissions
    • projects/000-global/policies/ — org-wide policies
  • Commands auto-discover files (PDF, Word, Markdown, images) and extract relevant context
  • Non-blocking — external docs enhance output quality but are never required
  • Cited in output — generated documents include an "External References" table

Also in This Release

  • Dynamic version placeholders: All 44 templates use [VERSION] placeholder populated from the VERSION file at generation time, eliminating version drift
  • No more version fallbacks: Commands reference VERSION file directly without hardcoded fallback values
  • CLI updates: arckit init and create-project.sh create external/ and policies/ directories automatically
  • New test repo: v20 UAE MOI IPAD Framework
