Organization Documentation
PropellerDeck includes a built-in git-backed documentation system that lets your team maintain structured knowledge bases directly within the platform. All documentation is stored in your connected GitHub repositories, making it version-controlled and auditable.
Five Documentation Types
PropellerDeck supports five categories of organizational documentation, each stored in its own folder inside your repository:
| Type | Folder Path |
|---|---|
| Software Development | .claude-docs/software_development/ |
| Business | .claude-docs/business/ |
| Marketing | .claude-docs/marketing/ |
| Project Management | .claude-docs/project_management/ |
| Sales | .claude-docs/sales/ |
This structure keeps different types of knowledge cleanly separated and makes it easy for AI agents to locate relevant context.
Editing Documentation in the Browser
You do not need to edit files in GitHub directly. PropellerDeck provides a browser-based editor accessible from the Organization Dashboard:
- Open the Organization Dashboard at
/orgs/<org_id>/. - Click Documentation in the left navigation.
- Select a documentation type and then a specific document to open it in the editor.
Changes you make in the editor are saved as a draft first. When you are ready to publish, click Commit to push your changes to GitHub.
Source of Truth and Sync
GitHub is the source of truth for all documentation. PropellerDeck maintains a PostgreSQL cache of your documents for fast retrieval, and syncs this cache with GitHub automatically. If you edit files directly in GitHub, PropellerDeck will pick up those changes on the next sync.
This means your documentation is always backed by a full commit history and can be reviewed, reverted, or branched just like your code.
