Technical Writer Audit Report — GoodGo POS System
Auditor: Technical Writer Agent
Date: 2026-03-20
Scope: Documentation quality, API docs, README files, code comments
Working Directory: /Users/velikho/Desktop/WORKING/pos-system
Executive Summary
The GoodGo Platform has a strong documentation foundation — 102+ markdown files in /docs, bilingual EN/VI coverage, and SERVICE_DOCS.md for all 25 microservices. The primary gaps are service-level README files (52% missing) and OpenAPI specification files (96% missing across services), both of which are addressable without major effort.
Critical Issues
C1 — OpenAPI Specs Missing for 24/25 Services
Severity: Critical
Location: /docs/en/api/openapi/ (only iam-service.yaml present)
Only iam-service.yaml exists as a committed OpenAPI specification. The remaining 24 services (merchant-service-net, order-service-net, fnb-engine-net, booking-service-net, catalog-service-net, inventory-service-net, wallet-service-net, promotion-service-net, membership-service-net, chat-service-net, social-service-net, storage-service-net, mining-service-net, mission-service-net, all 5 ads services, all 4 mkt services) have no committed spec file.
Impact: No API discoverability for 96% of services. Clients cannot generate SDKs, cannot import into Postman/Insomnia, and there is no machine-readable contract for integration tests.
Recommendation: Export Swagger specs from each .NET service at build time and commit to /docs/en/api/openapi/{service-name}.yaml. Create a script under scripts/ to automate collection.
C2 — Postman Collections Directory is Empty
Severity: Critical
Location: /docs/en/api/postman/ (0 files)
The directory exists but contains no collection files. Without Postman collections, developers must manually reconstruct requests from SERVICE_DOCS.md.
Impact: Developer onboarding friction — no ready-to-run API test collection.
Recommendation: Export Postman collections from Swagger specs or create manually. Commit to /docs/en/api/postman/{service-name}.json.
Warnings
W1 — Service README Files Missing for 13/25 Services (52% Gap)
Severity: High Affected Services:
ads-analytics-service-net/— noREADME.mdads-billing-service-net/— noREADME.mdads-manager-service-net/— noREADME.mdads-serving-service-net/— noREADME.mdads-tracking-service-net/— noREADME.mdbooking-service-net/— noREADME.mdcatalog-service-net/— noREADME.mdfnb-engine-net/— noREADME.mdinventory-service-net/— noREADME.mdorder-service-net/— noREADME.mdpromotion-service-net/— noREADME.mdsocial-service-net/— noREADME.mdwallet-service-net/— noREADME.md
Mitigation: All missing-README services have comprehensive SERVICE_DOCS.md files (auto-generated, covering API endpoints, database schema, domain models, configuration). This partially compensates, but README.md is typically the first file a new developer opens and contains prerequisites and quick-start instructions not found in SERVICE_DOCS.md.
Recommendation: Add README.md to all 13 services using iam-service-net/README.md as the template (294 lines, gold standard).
W2 — Missing storage-service-net/SERVICE_DOCS.md
Severity: Medium
Location: services/storage-service-net/
storage-service-net has a README.md but the audit found no corresponding SERVICE_DOCS.md. All other services have both. This is an inconsistency in the documentation generation process.
Recommendation: Run the documentation generation audit on storage-service-net and create SERVICE_DOCS.md.
W3 — Architecture Doc storage-proposal.md Exists Only in Vietnamese
Severity: Medium
Location: /docs/vi/architecture/storage-proposal.md (EN version missing)
The Vietnamese architecture folder contains storage-proposal.md with no corresponding English version at /docs/en/architecture/storage-proposal.md. This breaks the bilingual parity maintained across all other documentation.
Recommendation: Create /docs/en/architecture/storage-proposal.md as an English translation of the Vietnamese file.
W4 — No CHANGELOG / Release Notes
Severity: Medium
Location: Root level (no CHANGELOG.md)
No formal release history exists. While conventional commits (feat:, fix:, docs:) provide an informal changelog via git log, there is no generated or maintained CHANGELOG.md.
Mitigation: Commit messages follow conventional commits format consistently — this is recoverable.
Recommendation: Add a root CHANGELOG.md and automate generation using standard-changelog or conventional-changelog as part of the release CI pipeline.
W5 — packages/config/README.md Missing
Severity: Low
Location: packages/config/ (no README.md)
5/6 shared Node.js packages have README files. @goodgo/config is undocumented.
Recommendation: Create packages/config/README.md documenting configuration variables, usage, and examples. Use packages/types/README.md as a template.
Improvements
I1 — No Visual System Architecture Diagram
Architecture docs are text-heavy but there is no Mermaid or D2 diagram showing all 25 services, their communication patterns, and data flows in a single view. /docs/en/architecture/system-design.md covers this conceptually but lacks a visual overview.
Recommendation: Add a Mermaid graph LR or C4Context diagram to system-design.md illustrating service topology.
I2 — VitePress Documentation Site Not Publishing Architecture Docs
/apps/web-docs/ is configured (VitePress v1.6.3, Mermaid plugin) but the deployment/CI pipeline does not appear to publish the documentation site. The web-docs package has dev, build, preview scripts but no CI workflow (ci-web-docs.yml) to deploy it.
Recommendation: Add a GitHub Actions workflow to build and deploy the VitePress site to GitHub Pages or a subdomain (e.g., docs.goodgo.vn).
I3 — .cursor/skills/ and /docs/skills/ Duplication
Skills documentation exists in two places: .cursor/skills/ (15 skill files) and /docs/en/skills/ (13+ docs). They are partially overlapping. This creates maintenance burden — updates may be applied to one location and not the other.
Recommendation: Establish a single source of truth. Either have .cursor/skills/ reference /docs/en/skills/, or consolidate into one location with symlinks.
I4 — No API Documentation Index
There is no /docs/en/api/README.md or central index listing all services, their Swagger UI URLs (e.g., http://localhost:{port}/swagger), and their OpenAPI spec paths. Developers must know which service runs on which port.
Recommendation: Create /docs/en/api/README.md with a table:
| Service | Port | Swagger UI | OpenAPI Spec |
|---|---|---|---|
| iam-service-net | 5001 | http://localhost:5001/swagger | openapi/iam-service.yaml |
| merchant-service-net | 5002 | http://localhost:5002/swagger | — |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
I5 — MCP Server Documentation Could Be Expanded
services/goodgo-mcp-server/SERVICE_DOCS.md covers the 12 MCP tools but lacks a dedicated integration guide for AI clients (Claude, Cursor, etc.) showing how to configure the server, authenticate, and invoke each tool with examples.
Recommendation: Create services/goodgo-mcp-server/docs/integration-guide.md with per-tool usage examples and configuration instructions for AI clients.
