# Specification of Specifications
This file intends to outline the common structure for specifications within
this directory.
## Tense
For consistency, specs should be written in passive present tense.
## Common Layout
The following generalized structure should be used to breakdown specifications
for modules. Note that not all files may be required depending on the modules
function
- `overview.md` - describe module
- `state.md` - specify and describe structures expected to marshalled into the store, and their keys
- `state_transitions.md` - standard state transition operations triggered by by hooks, messages, etc.
- `end_block.md` - specify any end-block operations
- `begin_block.md` - specify any begin-block operations
- `messages.md` - specify message structure and expected state machine behaviour
- `hooks.md` - describe available hooks to be called by/from this module
- `tags.md` - list and describe event tags used
### Notation for key-value mapping
Within `state.md` the following notation `->` should be used to describe key to
value mapping:
```
key -> value
```
to represent byte concatenation the `|` may be used. In addition, encoding
type may be specified, for example:
```
0x00 | addressBytes | address2Bytes -> amino(value_object)
```
Additionally, index mappings may be specified by mapping to the `nil` value, for example:
```
0x01 | address2Bytes | addressBytes -> nil
```
