doc-index-required

What problem does it solve?

Ensures documentation consistency by enforcing a pre-write index check and a post-write index update for any files under docs/, preventing duplicate documents, unclear content boundaries, and stale indexes across the project.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase-A (pre-write): Read docs/INDEX.md and the target subdirectory INDEX.md, scan existing markdown files, infer titles, detect content overlap, and recommend merging or boundary adjustments before allowing new writes.
• Phase-B (post-write): After a document is created or modified, generate suggested INDEX.md updates (new entries, updated summaries or outlines) and surface them for user confirmation before committing changes.
• Use Case: Before creating a new design document, the skill detects similarly scoped docs in docs/design/, warns about overlap, and suggests appending to an existing document or adding a new indexed entry.

Quick Start

Use the doc-index-required skill to run Phase-A before editing any docs/ file and run Phase-B after saving to propose index updates.
