# Feature Specification: Relational Document System in Neovim
|
|
|
|
**Feature Branch**: `001-create-a-neovim`
|
|
**Created**: 2025-10-01
|
|
**Status**: Draft
|
|
**Input**: User description: "Create a neovim plugin representing a relational document system with typed schemas and query-based views. This plugin should support a directory of markdown files each containing yaml metadata representing properties in addition to the "type" of the document. This plugin will support linking between documents as well as creating queries into document properties with support for filtering and sorting by columns. These queries should be rendered in virtual buffers. Queries should be defined using a custom block syntax. This will implement a notion like approach to handling databases and documents."

## Clarifications
|
|
|
|
### Session 2025-10-01
|
|
- Q: How are schemas defined and enforced? → A: No strict schema enforcement, only validation of existing properties.
|
|
- Q: What should be the syntax for linking between documents? → A: Standard markdown link syntax `[link text](file.md)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ⚡ Quick Guidelines
|
|
- ✅ Focus on WHAT users need and WHY
|
|
- ❌ Avoid HOW to implement (no tech stack, APIs, code structure)
|
|
- 👥 Written for business stakeholders, not developers
|
|
|
|
### Section Requirements
|
|
- **Mandatory sections**: Must be completed for every feature
|
|
- **Optional sections**: Include only when relevant to the feature
|
|
- When a section doesn't apply, remove it entirely (don't leave as "N/A")
|

## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
|
|
|
|
### Primary User Story
|
|
As a Neovim user, I want to manage a personal knowledge base of markdown documents that can be organized and queried like a relational database, so that I can create structured notes and dynamically generate views of my information.
|
|
|
|
### Acceptance Scenarios
|
|
1. **Given** a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, **When** I open a file, **Then** the plugin recognizes the document's type and properties.
|
|
2. **Given** a document with a specific type, **When** I define a query in a markdown file to list all documents of that type, **Then** a virtual buffer is created with a table of the matching documents and their properties.
|
|
3. **Given** a query with filter and sort conditions, **When** the query is executed, **Then** the results in the virtual buffer are filtered and sorted correctly.
|
|
4. **Given** two documents, **When** I create a link from one document to another, **Then** I can navigate between the linked documents.
|
|
|
|
### Edge Cases
|
|
- What happens when a markdown file has invalid YAML frontmatter?
|
|
- How does the system handle links to non-existent documents?
|
|
- What happens if a query is defined with invalid syntax?
|
|
- How does the plugin handle very large numbers of documents or very large individual files?
|
|
|
|
## Requirements *(mandatory)*
|
|
|
|
### Functional Requirements
|
|
- **FR-001**: The system MUST recognize a directory of markdown files as a database.
|
|
- **FR-002**: The system MUST parse YAML frontmatter in each markdown file to identify the document's type and properties.
|
|
- **FR-003**: The system MUST validate document properties against a schema inferred from existing documents of the same type. No strict schema definition file is required.
|
|
- **FR-004**: The system MUST support creating links between documents using the standard markdown link syntax (`[link text](file.md)`).
|
|
- **FR-005**: The system MUST provide a custom block syntax for defining queries.
|
|
- **FR-006**: Queries MUST support filtering by document properties.
|
|
- **FR-007**: Queries MUST support sorting by document properties.
|
|
- **FR-008**: Query results MUST be displayed in a virtual buffer.
|
|
- **FR-009**: The system MUST handle updates to documents and reflect changes in query results.
|
|
|
|
### Key Entities *(include if feature involves data)*
|
|
- **Document**: A markdown file with YAML frontmatter. It has a `type` and a set of `properties`.
|
|
- **Schema**: A definition for a document type, specifying its properties and their types.
|
|
- **Query**: A definition in a custom block syntax that filters and sorts documents.
|
|
- **View**: A virtual buffer that displays the results of a query.
