# Documentation Architecture
> **How Skill Seekers documentation is organized (v3.2.0 - 17 source types)**
---
## Philosophy
Our documentation follows these principles:
1. **Progressive Disclosure** - Start simple, add complexity as needed
2. **Task-Oriented** - Organized by what users want to do
3. **Single Source of Truth** - One authoritative reference per topic
4. **Version Current** - Always reflect the latest release

## Maintenance
### Keeping Docs Current
1. **Update with code changes** - Docs must match implementation
2. **Version in header** - Keep version current
3. **Last updated date** - Track freshness
4. **Deprecate old files** - Don't delete, redirect
### Review Checklist
Before committing docs:
- [ ] Commands actually work (tested)
- [ ] No phantom commands documented
- [ ] Links work
- [ ] Version number correct
- [ ] Date updated
