To prevent duplicate documentation, a pre-write analysis scans existing markdown files in docs/, infers their titles, detects content overlap, and recommends merging or boundary adjustments before you create new files.

To keep docs/INDEX.md updated, run a post-write index update after saving markdown changes to generate suggested INDEX.md entries, updated summaries, and outlines for user confirmation before committing.
