Notes from documentation engineering work. Design decisions, tools I studied, challenges, and observations from building documentation systems in FinTech, compliance, and enterprise platforms.
Templates without guardrails just move the inconsistency problem one level upstream. RepoDocs AI adds structure, AI-assisted drafting workflows, and validation in one installable system for SaaS API teams.
Read this postNot a prompt wrapper. Not a fancier autocomplete. A tool that thinks the way technical writers think, before it writes a single word.
How documentation becomes an interface when AI pulls it into the product, what technical writers and UX designers are each missing, and what a converged model looks like.
I spent twenty years assembling documentation pipelines from a patchwork of tools. DocForge is an interactive prototype of what an integrated Docs-as-Code platform could look like: six modules covering the full pipeline from Markdown source to multi-format output, with DITA topic typing, Vale style linting, and CI/CD monitoring under one roof.
Why this blog exists, what I am building, and what kind of documentation work this space will cover.
