Overview

Contributor-facing internals — architecture, runtime, config schema, ADRs, research, and the developer reference. Not part of the user-facing product docs.

This section is for people working on jackin❯ itself, not for operating it. It collects the implementation details, design records, and research that the Operator and Role Authoring guides deliberately leave out.

What's here

  • Getting oriented — codebase map and where things live.
  • Runtime & Capsule — internal mechanisms, config-file schema, on-disk layouts.
  • ADRs — architecture decision records.
  • TUI — shared terminal-UI design references.
  • Research — exploratory notes and watchlists.
  • Developer reference — architecture overview, code tour, and specs.
