SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps maintain repo-wide governance guidance by coordinating changes to AGENTS.md, PLANS.md, and related scaffolding rules across the codebase, ensuring consistency and clarity for contributors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided updates: Provides a clear workflow for adjusting repo-wide conventions, artifact layouts, and shared targets.
  • Consistency enforcement: Aligns root and nested guidance to prevent drift in contributor processes.
  • Use Case: When updating root or nested AGENTS.md across multiple directories, this skill ensures the changes are propagated and documented in a single, auditable workflow.

Quick Start

Inspect the root AGENTS.md and the nearest nested AGENTS.md files before touching any shared scaffolding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep AGENTS.md and PLANS.md consistent across a large repository?

To keep AGENTS.md and PLANS.md consistent across a repository, use a guided workflow that validates impacted paths and propagates changes to nested files. This prevents drift in contributor processes and preserves the root contract.

What is the best way to update repo-wide scaffolding rules without breaking governance?

Updating repo-wide scaffolding rules requires an auditable workflow that aligns root and nested guidance. You inspect existing conventions, apply changes spanning multiple directories, and record updates in the appropriate documentation files to preserve governance.

When do I need to coordinate changes across multiple AGENTS.md files?

You need to coordinate changes across multiple AGENTS.md files when updates span multiple directories or shared targets. Coordinating these changes ensures alignment with existing repository conventions and preserves artifact contracts.

How does validating impacted paths work when updating repository conventions?

Validating impacted paths works by checking the root and nearest nested AGENTS.md files before applying changes. This ensures updates follow a defined workflow and maintains the integrity of the root contract during scaffolding adjustments.

Can I use this workflow to manage documentation for changes spanning multiple directories?

Yes, you can use this workflow to manage documentation for changes spanning multiple directories. It automates the maintenance of scaffolding guidance and records changes in AGENTS.md and PLANS.md, ensuring updates follow a defined workflow.

Why does contributor process drift happen in multi-directory repositories?

Contributor process drift happens when root and nested guidance files like AGENTS.md are updated independently. Without an automated workflow to propagate and document changes, alignment with repository conventions and artifact contracts is lost.
