Living Specs — Index

This index lists every active and historical "living spec" in ftl-docs/architecture/specs/.

A living spec describes one product or system domain as it is today. It is rewritten in place when behavior changes; we do not branch it into versions. The decision trail behind each spec lives in architecture/decisions/ (the ADRs).

See CHANGE-MANAGEMENT.md at the repo root for the protocol, and _TEMPLATE.md for the required structure.

Deprecated specs

Adding a new spec

  1. Pick a kebab-case domain name (auth-flow, referral, leaderboard, …). Once chosen, don't rename — the path is referenced from code anchors.
  2. Copy _TEMPLATE.md to <domain>.md and fill in every section.
  3. Add a row to the Active specs table above.
  4. If the new spec encodes a decision, add the matching ADR in architecture/decisions/ in the same PR.
