Complete documentation system for LLM consumption: primary LLM_CONTEXT.md (27KB system overview), 4 module deep-dives (composer, reaper-builder, reaper-scripting, calibrator), 2 JSON Schema draft-07 contracts, CLI reference, and README correction (FL Studio -> REAPER identity).

Proposal: LLM-Ready Documentation
Intent
No LLM can read this codebase and understand it. README.md is wrong (claims FL Studio .flp, mentions non-existent MCP server). .sdd/design.md references dead FLPBuilder. docs/ is empty. An LLM encountering this project today would be misled for 3+ rounds before discovering it targets REAPER .rpp, not FL Studio .flp. We need a single entry-point document that instantly grounds any LLM in the real architecture.
Scope
In Scope
docs/LLM_CONTEXT.md— primary entry point: architecture, data model, pipeline, module map, CLI reference, naming conventions, how to extenddocs/CLI.md— complete CLI reference (compose, generate, run_in_reaper)docs/modules/composer.md— composition engine: pattern generators, converters, melody enginedocs/modules/reaper-builder.md— RPP format,RPPBuilder, plugin registry (~150 plugins), presetsdocs/modules/reaper-scripting.md— ReaScript generation protocol, command/result JSON bridgedocs/modules/calibrator.md— mix calibration presets and post-processing pipelinedocs/schemas/song-definition.json— JSON Schema forSongDefinition(SongMeta, TrackDef, ClipDef, MidiNote, SectionDef)docs/schemas/reascript-protocol.json— JSON Schema for command.json / result.json contractREADME.md— fix: FL Studio → REAPER, remove MCP references, correct project structure

Capabilities
New Capabilities
None — documentation only; no behavioral capability changes.
Modified Capabilities
None.
Approach
Hybrid: one primary file (LLM_CONTEXT.md, ~30KB) as immediate grounding document for any LLM session, plus modular deep-dive docs and JSON Schemas for contract validation. All docs live under existing docs/ directory. Schemas use standard JSON Schema draft-2020-12. README.md gets a truth-preserving rewrite. Zero code changes — docs are generated manually with LLM assistance, not via docstring extraction.
Affected Areas
| Area | Impact | Description |
|---|---|---|
docs/ |
New | Fill with 9 files: LLM_CONTEXT.md, CLI.md, modules/.md, schemas/.json |
README.md |
Modified | Fix FL Studio → REAPER, remove MCP, correct structure |
Risks
| Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| LLM_CONTEXT.md diverges from code | Low | Docs reference exact source files; verified during spec phase via grep cross-check |
| Plugin registry changes break builder docs | Low | Registry path is stable; doc notes it reflects current PLUGIN_REGISTRY dict |
Rollback Plan
git revert the commit. All changes are additive to docs/ + README.md rewrite; no code paths depend on docs. Revert is instant with zero side effects.
Dependencies
- None (read-only source inspection; no new packages)
Success Criteria
- LLM given only
docs/LLM_CONTEXT.mdcorrectly identifies: REAPER target, RPP format, module structure, CLI entry points - JSON Schemas validate against actual
SongDefinitionand reascript command structures - README.md accurately reflects project name, target DAW, and real features
- All module docs reference actual source files and class names
