使用 Craft 建造Living Documentation Hub

As the creator says:

“It turns documentation into a living system that devs can query directly with AI for instant answers across microservices. Saved ~10× dev time in our tests.”

步驟1 – Organize Your Documentation in Craft

Create a hierarchical documentation structure in Craft:

Main overview page – High-level architecture and system design
Subpages per service – One page for each microservice with:
- Service description and purpose
- API endpoints and schemas
- Database models
- Key implementation details
- Dependencies and connections
- Example code and usage patterns

Structure it consistently so AI can parse it reliably.

步驟2 – Include Comprehensive Details

For each service, document:

What it does – Clear description of the service’s purpose
How it connects – Relationships to other services
API documentation – Endpoints, parameters, responses
Database schema – Tables, relationships, key fields
Code examples – Real examples of how to use it
Common patterns – How developers typically interact with it

步驟3 – Enable Craft MCP

Set up Craft’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection to Claude. This allows Claude to read your entire documentation structure through your IDE.

步驟4 – Set Up Cursor with Claude

In Cursor (or your preferred IDE with Claude integration):

Enable Claude as your AI assistant
Connect it to your Craft MCP documentation
Configure it to read your documentation when answering questions

步驟5 – Create Custom Instructions for Claude

Add instructions to your Cursor setup:

You have access to our complete technical documentation in Craft via MCP. When a developer asks a question:

1. Search the documentation for relevant services and code
2. Provide the complete context (which services are involved, how they connect)
3. Show exact code examples from the documentation
4. Explain the flow across services
5. Suggest the affected files and changes needed

步驟6 – Start Asking Questions

Developers can now ask questions directly in their IDE:

→ Claude reads Craft docs → Shows complete flow from frontend through backend to PDF generation

→ Claude reads Craft docs → Lists all affected services and provides ready code

→ Claude reads Craft docs → Points to exact service, file, and code

步驟7 – Keep Documentation Updated

Maintain your Craft documentation as your codebase evolves:

Update service descriptions when architecture changes
Add new API endpoints as they’re created
Document new patterns and common solutions
Keep examples current with your actual code

The documentation stays the source of truth, and Claude always has the latest context.

Impact the Creator Notices

Task	Before	After	Speed Gain
Info lookup	45 min	3 min	15x faster
Feature implementation	2 hours	10 min	12x faster
Debugging	3 hour	20 min	9x faster
Onboarding new devs	2-4 weeks	2-3 days	7x faster

The Result

Your Craft documentation becomes a team intelligence hub – an AI-queryable knowledge base that developers can ask questions to directly from their IDE. Instead of searching, asking colleagues, or reading through code, developers get instant, accurate answers with full context across your entire microservice architecture.
