An engineering knowledge base covering runbooks, architecture decision records, onboarding docs, and service ownership in Taskade.
What's Included
- Article Library: List view by category — Runbooks, ADRs, Onboarding, Service Ownership
- Code-Friendly Editor: Syntax-highlighted code blocks, mermaid diagrams, embedded GitHub links

Why This Template Wins
