Doc-Management Skill

Documentation lifecycle management through the doc-manager MCP server. This skill routes requests to specialized agents and provides proactive documentation health awareness.

Activation Triggers

Activate when user mentions:

Documentation terms: "documentation", "docs", "README", "API docs", "guide"

Sync/status: "sync docs", "doc status", "update docs", "docs out of date"

Quality: "doc quality", "validate docs", "check docs", "broken links"

Releases: "release", "deploy", "ship", "merge to main", "v1.0"

Setup: "setup docs", "init docs", "documentation management"

Configuration: "config", "configuration", ".doc-manager", "conventions", "api_coverage", "preset", "strategy", "exclude patterns"

Code changes: "committed", "pushed", "finished implementing" (gentle reminder)

Agent Routing

Route to doc-expert agent:

• Analysis tasks: "check status", "what needs updating"
• Quality tasks: "assess quality", "is this release-ready"
• Sync tasks: "sync documentation", "update docs for changes"
• Setup tasks: "set up doc management", "initialize"
• Validation tasks: "validate docs", "check for broken links"
• Migration tasks: "move docs", "reorganize documentation"
• Config tasks: "tune config", "fix coverage", "add preset", "change strategy"

Route to doc-writer agent:

• Content tasks: "write API docs for X", "create a guide"
• Direct editing: "update the README", "add examples"
• Simple updates: "document this function", "add code samples"

Decision Flow:

Requires analysis, orchestration, quality, or state management?
  YES → doc-expert agent
  NO → Straightforward content with clear scope?
    YES → doc-writer agent
    NO → doc-expert agent (to assess first)

Behavior Guidelines

Do NOT Auto-Run

Never automatically run heavy operations. Always suggest and ask:

• "Would you like me to check documentation status?"
• "I can run a quality assessment. Want me to proceed?"
• "Documentation sync available. Should I start?"

Gentle Reminders

At appropriate moments, offer (don't command):

On release mention:

Before the release, would you like a documentation health check?
- /doc-status - Quick sync status
- /doc-quality - Full quality assessment

On code change mention:

Code changes may need documentation updates.
Run /doc-status when ready to check.

On docs mention:

I can help with documentation. Options:
- Check status: /doc-status
- Full sync: /doc-sync
- Quality audit: /doc-quality

First-Run Detection

If .doc-manager/ doesn't exist when user asks about docs:

Documentation management isn't set up for this project.

Would you like me to initialize it? I'll:
1. Detect your documentation platform
2. Create tracking configuration
3. Establish baselines

Say "setup docs" to proceed.

Quick Commands Reference

Edge Cases

Large-Scale Changes (50+ files)

Warn before proceeding:

Detected 50+ files with changes. This will be processed in batches.
Estimated time: 10-15 minutes.
Proceed with documentation sync?

Quality Conflicts

If fixing one criterion harms another:

Quality trade-off detected:
- Adding detail improves Clarity
- But increases Uniqueness issues (duplication)

Which should I prioritize?

Not Initialized

Always check for .doc-manager/ before assuming setup exists. Offer initialization if missing.

Integration Points

This skill coordinates with:

• doc-expert agent: For orchestration, analysis, quality, state, config
• doc-writer agent: For content creation and editing
• MCP tools: docmgr_* tools via agents
• Slash commands: /doc-status, /doc-sync, /doc-quality, /doc-dashboard

Project Context Awareness

When helping with documentation, consider the project type to provide better recommendations.

Project Type Matrix

Detecting Project Type

Look for these indicators:

• MCP Server: mcp in dependencies, FastMCP imports, tool definitions
• Library: __all__ exports, package structure, PyPI metadata
• CLI: argparse/click/typer imports, console_scripts entry points
• Application: Framework configs (settings.py, config.py), no __all__

Context-Aware Heuristics

When reviewing documentation health, apply these heuristics to provide proactive suggestions.

Heuristic 1: Low Coverage + No api_coverage Config

Detect: Quality assessment shows <50% API coverage AND no api_coverage section in .doc-manager.yml

Suggest:

Coverage is at {X}%. This might include framework symbols that don't need documentation.

Adding an api_coverage preset could help filter these out. For example:
- `pydantic` preset excludes Config, validators, etc.
- `pytest` preset excludes test_*, Test*, fixtures

Would you like me to explain the available presets?

Heuristic 2: Wrong Strategy for Project Type

Detect: MCP server project (has mcp dependency) AND strategy is all_then_underscore

Suggest:

This appears to be an MCP server. Users interact via the MCP protocol, not Python imports.

Consider using `all_only` strategy - this will only count symbols explicitly exported via __all__.
For MCP servers, 0% API coverage is often correct since there's no public Python API.

Want me to update the config?

Heuristic 3: Stale Source Patterns

Detect: sources patterns in config don't match any existing files

Suggest:

Some source patterns in .doc-manager.yml don't match any files:
- `{pattern}` → 0 files found

The project structure may have changed. Would you like me to update the source patterns?

Heuristic 4: Missing Conventions File

Detect: Consistency issues detected (heading case, list markers) AND no doc-conventions.yml exists

Suggest:

Quality assessment found consistency issues:
- {X} files use different heading case styles
- {Y} files use different list markers

A doc-conventions.yml file could help enforce standards.
Would you like me to help set one up?

Heuristic 5: Preset Mismatch

Detect: Using framework (pydantic, django, etc.) but no matching preset configured

Suggest:

I noticed this project uses {framework} but the `{framework}` preset isn't configured.

This preset would exclude common {framework} symbols from coverage metrics:
{list of excluded symbols}

Add it to improve coverage accuracy?

Progressive Guidance

Provide context-aware suggestions based on project maturity.

New Setup (just initialized)

Documentation management is now set up!

Recommended next steps:
1. Run /doc-quality to establish a quality baseline
2. Consider adding doc-conventions.yml for consistency
3. Review api_coverage settings if accuracy seems off

Active Development (frequent changes detected)

I noticed frequent code changes since last sync.

Tip: Run /doc-sync periodically to keep docs in sync.
For CI integration, consider adding doc validation to your pipeline.

Pre-Release (release/version mentioned)

Preparing for release? Here's a quick checklist:
1. /doc-sync - Ensure docs match code
2. /doc-quality - Check for issues
3. Review any "poor" quality scores before shipping

Want me to run a full pre-release audit?

Config Issues Detected

I noticed some configuration that might need attention:
- {specific issue from heuristics}

The doc-expert agent can help tune your configuration.
Say "tune config" to start.
