📖About & Usage

About

Carol Design is the central design documentation hub for Carol's AI ecosystem. Think of it as the architect's drawing board — a place where technical designs, system blueprints, and structural decisions are captured and shared before code gets written. It lives within the governance group of apps, reflecting its role in making sure things are thought through before they're built.

Owned and maintained by Elrond, Carol Design serves as the go-to reference for how components, services, and features are intended to work. Whether it's a new agent joining the ecosystem, a service being restructured, or an integration being planned, the design documentation lives here. It complements tools like Carol Requirements (which captures what needs to happen) and Blueprint Service (which manages reusable structural templates) by focusing squarely on the how — the architectural shape of a solution.

Usage Patterns

Carol Design is typically consulted at two key moments: before building and during review. When Archon or Forge is working through the design phase of a new feature or service, the resulting design document lands here. Later, when someone needs to understand why a system was built a certain way, this is where they look.

For example, if Carol's team decides to add a new monitoring capability to Carol Monitor, the process would start with a design document in Carol Design outlining the approach — data sources, agent responsibilities, UI layout. That document becomes the shared reference point for Elrond, the developer, and the tester (Argus) throughout the build. Access is restricted to authenticated users, so the documentation stays internal to the team.
