OCI DEAL ACCELERATOR — Architecture Center Catalog Builder

CRITICAL: Git Branching Rule

git checkout main && git pull origin main && git checkout -b feature/architecture-center-catalog

Objective

Build a comprehensive catalog of Oracle Architecture Center content (reference architectures, solution playbooks, built & deployed) from the last 2 years. Each entry has ONLY: title, URL, type, date, tags, and a 2-3 sentence summary focused on Architecture Recommendations and Considerations.

This catalog enables the Deal Accelerator to say: "Your architecture matches this Oracle reference architecture: [title] — [url]" when composing a proposal.


Step 1: Fetch the What's New Pages

These pages list ALL published/updated content by date:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/oracle-architecture-center/whats-new-20251.html
https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/oracle-architecture-center/whats-new-2024.html

From each page, extract every entry title and its link. These are the master lists.

Also fetch the filtered views to catch anything missed:

https://docs.oracle.com/solutions/?q=&cType=reference-architectures&sort=date-desc&lang=en
https://docs.oracle.com/solutions/?q=&cType=built-deployed&sort=date-desc&lang=en  
https://docs.oracle.com/solutions/?q=&cType=solution-playbook&sort=date-desc&lang=en

If the filtered views are JavaScript-rendered and don't return content via fetch, rely on the What's New pages as the master source.


Step 2: For Each Entry, Fetch the Detail Page

Each reference architecture has a URL like:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/{slug}/index.html

Fetch each page and extract:

  • Title: the H1
  • Summary: the first 2-3 sentences of the description (before the diagram)
  • Architecture Recommendations: from the "Recommendations" or "Considerations" section — summarize in 2-3 sentences MAX
  • Services used: list the OCI services mentioned (ADB-S, ExaCS, OKE, VCN, etc.)
  • Tags: auto-generate from services and topic (database, networking, security, migration, ha-dr, multicloud, etc.)
  • Date: from the What's New page or the page footer copyright
  • Terraform/GitHub link: if present

Step 3: Write the Catalog File

Output format: kb/architecture-center/catalog.yaml

# =============================================================================
# ORACLE ARCHITECTURE CENTER — REFERENCE CATALOG
# =============================================================================
# 
# Auto-generated index of Oracle Architecture Center content.
# Used by the Deal Accelerator to match customer architectures with 
# official Oracle reference architectures and solution playbooks.
#
# Entry format is intentionally minimal — title, summary, tags, URL.
# The skill references the URL; the architect reads the full doc.
#
# To refresh: python tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py

  # ===================================================================
  # CONTINUE ADDING ALL REMAINING ENTRIES FROM THE WHAT'S NEW PAGES
  # Follow the same format: title, url, type, date, services, tags, summary
  # 
  # Fetch and process ALL entries from:
  #   - whats-new-20251.html (2025 entries)
  #   - whats-new-2024.html (2024 entries)
  #
  # For each entry:
  #   1. Fetch the detail page
  #   2. Extract the summary (first 2-3 sentences)
  #   3. Extract Architecture Recommendations (summarize in 2-3 sentences)
  #   4. Combine into the summary field
  #   5. Auto-tag based on services and topic
  # ===================================================================

Step 4: Build the Refresh Script

tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Refresh the Architecture Center catalog from Oracle docs.

Usage:
    python tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py
    python tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py --url https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/{slug}/index.html
    python tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py --whats-new

This script:
1. Fetches the What's New pages for 2024 and 2025
2. Extracts all reference architecture links
3. For each link, fetches the detail page
4. Extracts title, summary, services, recommendations
5. Writes/updates kb/architecture-center/catalog.yaml

IMPORTANT: This is a semi-automated tool. It generates DRAFT entries
that should be reviewed by a human before committing. The auto-generated
summaries may miss nuance or include irrelevant detail.

Requirements: pip install requests beautifulsoup4


Step 5: Integration with the Skill

Update kb/INDEX.yaml

Add:

architecture_center:
  catalog:
    path: "kb/architecture-center/catalog.yaml"
    keywords: ["reference architecture", "oracle architecture center", "solution playbook", "built deployed"]
    load_when: "composing architecture or generating ADRs — match customer workload against known Oracle patterns"

How the Skill Uses It

During Phase 2 (Architecture Composition), after selecting services and patterns, the skill scans the catalog for matching entries:

Matching logic:
1. Compare selected services against entry.services
2. Compare workload tags against entry.tags
3. If ≥2 service matches + ≥1 tag match → STRONG MATCH
4. If ≥1 service match + ≥2 tag matches → MODERATE MATCH

Output in the deck:
- Architecture Decisions slide: "Based on Oracle Reference Architecture: [title] ([url])"
- Technical document: Full reference with link
- Risk register: Note any deviations from the reference architecture

Example match for the Laboratorios Farma case:

Customer: ADB-S + ADG + VPN + private subnet + APEX
Matches:
  ✅ STRONG: "Deploy secure ADB and APEX application" (adb-s, apex, load-balancer)
  ✅ MODERATE: "Deploy ORDS with High Availability on OCI" (adb-s, load-balancer)
  ✅ MODERATE: "Migrate on-premises Oracle Database to ADB" (adb-s, migration)

Build Order

  1. Create kb/architecture-center/ directory
  2. Run the refresh script to generate catalog.yaml (or build manually from What's New pages)
  3. Review and curate the auto-generated entries (fix summaries, verify tags)
  4. Update kb/INDEX.yaml with the architecture-center reference
  5. Update SKILL.md / SKILL_COMPACT.md with matching logic instructions
  6. Add tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py to the repo
  7. Add tests: verify catalog loads, entries have required fields, no broken URLs

Refresh Cadence

  • Monthly: Run python tools/refresh_arch_catalog.py --whats-new to pick up new entries
  • On Oracle release: Check for new reference architectures related to new features
  • Manual add: For entries the scraper misses, add manually following the format

When Done

git add .
git commit -m "feat: Architecture Center catalog — reference architectures index"
git push -u origin feature/architecture-center-catalog
