documentation

Overview

This skill provides the shared documentation capability used by the Documentation agent. It centralizes the durable knowledge for audit, drift, validate, and author flows in a single package so thin wrappers can load mode-specific guidance instead of embedding capability prose inline.

Mode map

The Documentation agent should load the relevant skill sections by mode:

Non-goals

This skill does not author ADRs, BRDs, PRDs, or other planning artifacts. It also does not embed accessibility, RAI, or security standards logic inline; it points to the dedicated reference files and routes formal assessment to the appropriate planner when the scenario requires it.

Working conventions

• Prefer existing repository instructions and scripts over duplicated prose.
• Keep documentation changes factual and scoped to the current task.
• Use the reference files below for mode-specific methods, heuristics, and checklists.
• Escalate to planners for formal accessibility, RAI, or security review if the work requires a specialist assessment.

Session tracking

Write session state to .copilot-tracking/documentation/ using a {{YYYY-MM-DD}}-session.md file for the run, following the standard session file conventions.

Reference files

• references/conventions.md — Synthesis of the repository's markdown, writing-style, and Docusaurus conventions.
• references/code-doc-mapping.md — Code-to-documentation mapping table and drift heuristics.
• references/coverage-method.md — Gap and coverage analysis method for audit mode.
• references/validation-toolchain.md — Validation command catalog and result interpretation.
• references/accessibility-checks.md — Inline documentation checks and handoff triggers.
• references/content-sensitivity.md — Pre-publish PII, secrets, confidentiality, and AI-disclosure checks.
• references/rai-guardrails.md — Injection-boundary, attribution, human-review, and disclaimer guidance.

Templates

• templates/guide.md — Structure template for narrative guides and how-to pages.
• templates/reference.md — Structure template for reference and API-style documentation.
