  Integrated project management system covering documentation, language initialization,
  template optimization, docs generation, and JIT document loading. Absorbed from
  moai-workflow-templates, moai-docs-generation, and moai-workflow-jit-docs.

when_to_use: >
  Use for integrated project management: documentation scaffolding
  (product/structure/tech.md), multilingual language initialization,
  template and boilerplate optimization, docs generation (Sphinx, MkDocs,
  TypeDoc, OpenAPI), and JIT document loading.

MoAI Workflow Project - Integrated Project Management System

Comprehensive project management system integrating documentation generation, multilingual support, and template optimization into a unified architecture with intelligent automation and Claude Code integration.

Scope: Consolidates documentation management, language initialization, and template optimization into a single cohesive system supporting complete project lifecycle from initialization to maintenance.

Target: Claude Code agents for project setup, documentation generation, multilingual support, and performance optimization.

Implementation Guide

Module Architecture

Three capability areas:

• Documentation Management: template-based generation, project type detection, multilingual support, SPEC integration, multi-format export
• Language Initialization: automatic detection, configuration management, agent prompt localization, locale management
• Template Optimization: complexity analysis, performance optimization, backup/recovery, benchmarking

Core Workflows

Three workflows: project initialization, documentation generation from SPEC, template performance optimization. Each follows a 3-step pattern (configure → execute → review results). The initialization and settings interviews walk the question structure defined in [schemas/tab_schema.json](schemas/tab_schema.json).

See [core workflow walkthroughs](references/workflows.md) for detailed step-by-step procedures.

Language and Localization

Automatic Language Detection: analyzes file content, configuration files, system locale, and directory structure.

Multilingual Documentation: language-specific directories (e.g., `docs/ko`, `docs/en`), language negotiation, automatic redirection.

Agent Prompt Localization: language-specific instructions, cultural context, token cost optimization.

See [language and localization detail](references/language-localization.md) for token cost analysis and locale configuration.

Template Optimization

Performance Analysis: file size, complexity, performance bottlenecks, optimization opportunities, resource usage, backup recommendations.

Optimization Techniques: whitespace reduction, structure optimization, complexity reduction, performance caching.

Configuration Management

Integrated configuration covers project metadata, language settings + costs, documentation status, template optimization results, module initialization states.

Language Settings: conversation_language (user-facing), agent_prompt_language (internal, often English for cost), documentation language (per language).

Updates trigger configuration file modifications, documentation structure updates, template localization.

See [configuration schema and language fields](references/configuration.md) for full field reference and supported language metadata.

Advanced Implementation

Performance Metrics

| Operation | Typical Duration | |-----------|------------------| | Complete documentation generation | 2-5 seconds | | Language detection analysis | ~500 ms | | Template optimization | 10-30 seconds | | Configuration updates | ~100 ms |

Memory: base ~50MB, large projects +10-50MB, optimization cache 5-20MB.

File sizes: documentation 50-200KB per project, optimization backups match originals, configuration 5-10KB.
