# Task: YAML Schema Documentation

## ID

US007-T003.2

## User Story Reference

[US007-YAML-Serialization](../userstories/US007-YAML-Serialization.md)

## Description

Create comprehensive schema documentation for Flock YAML files to help users understand the structure, required fields, and valid values. This documentation will serve as a reference for users creating or editing YAML configurations manually.

## Status

Not Started

## Required Changes

1. **Schema Definition**:
   - Document the complete schema for FlockAgent YAML files
   - Document the complete schema for Flock system YAML files
   - Include all required and optional fields with types and descriptions

2. **Field Documentation**:
   - Provide detailed descriptions for each field
   - Document valid values and formats for each field
   - Include examples of valid values

3. **Component Schema Documentation**:
   - Document schemas for evaluators, routers, and modules
   - Explain configuration options for each component type
   - Document inheritance and extension patterns

4. **Relationship Documentation**:
   - Explain how agent relationships are represented
   - Document workflow definition patterns
   - Explain input/output mapping between agents

5. **Best Practices**:
   - Include recommendations for organizing complex systems
   - Document naming conventions and organization patterns
   - Provide guidance on performance optimization

## Acceptance Criteria

1. Complete schema documentation for FlockAgent and Flock YAML files
2. Documentation explains all fields with examples and valid values
3. Schema documentation is accessible to users (either in code comments, docs site, or both)
4. Documentation includes best practices and common patterns
5. Schema explanation includes validation rules and constraints
6. Documentation covers specialized components and extensions

## Testing

1. Verify documentation accuracy by cross-checking with implementation
2. Test examples in documentation to ensure they are valid
3. Review documentation with team members for clarity and completeness
4. Ensure schema documentation stays up-to-date with code changes

## Notes

- Consider using a formal schema definition format (like JSON Schema) if applicable
- Include visual representation of schema relationships if possible
- Consider generating schema documentation automatically from code where feasible
- Document version compatibility concerns for schema changes
