# Documentation Update Workflow

Workflow for documentation changes with SSOT awareness.

## Prerequisites

- **Use `git-workflow` Skill** for branch, commit, and PR workflow.
- **Understand SSOT structure** before editing any documentation.

## SSOT Awareness

**Critical**: Before editing documentation, identify if the file is an SSOT or references one.

### SSOT Locations

| Category                 | SSOT Location                            | Description                     |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Agent behavior           | `AGENTS.md`                              | Entry point for all agents      |
| Agent instruction design | `docs/ai/design.md`                      | Command/Skill/Rule architecture |
| Label definitions        | `docs/guidelines/task-classification.md` | All label types and meanings    |
| Label → Skill mapping    | `.claude/skills/label-context-mapping/`  | Operational routing             |
| Coding conventions       | `docs/guidelines/coding-conventions.md`  | Code style rules                |
| Security rules           | `docs/guidelines/security.md`            | Security requirements           |
| Testing standards        | `docs/guidelines/testing.md`             | Test requirements               |
| Workflow                 | `docs/guidelines/workflow.md`            | Development workflow            |

### SSOT Rules

1. **If editing an SSOT file**: Update carefully, as other files reference it
2. **If editing a non-SSOT file**: Ensure it references the SSOT, don't duplicate information
3. **If information conflicts**: The SSOT is authoritative; update the referencing file

## Applicable Files

| Path                  | Type        | Description                      |

| `AGENTS.md`           | SSOT        | Agent behavior entry point       |
| `ARCHITECTURE.md`     | SSOT        | System architecture              |
| `docs/guidelines/`    | SSOT        | Project guidelines and standards |
| `docs/design/`        | Reference   | Design documents                 |
| `docs/chains/`        | Reference   | Chain-specific documentation     |
| `docs/ai/task-contexts/` | Context     | Task-specific procedures         |
| `internal/AGENTS.md`  | Scoped SSOT | Internal package guidelines      |
| `pkg/AGENTS.md`       | Scoped SSOT | Public package guidelines        |

## Workflow

### 1. Identify Document Type

Before editing, determine:

- Is this file an SSOT?
- Does this file reference an SSOT?
- What other files might be affected?

### 2. Check for Duplicated Information

If the information you're adding already exists elsewhere:

- Find the SSOT location
- Add a reference instead of duplicating

### 3. Make Changes

Follow markdown style guidelines:

- Use ATX-style headers (`#`, `##`, `###`)
- One blank line between sections
- Code blocks with language specifier
- Tables for structured data
- Relative links within docs

### 4. Verify Cross-References

After changes:

- [ ] Links work correctly
- [ ] SSOT references are accurate
- [ ] No information duplication
- [ ] Consistent formatting

## Markdown Style

### Headers

```markdown
# Top Level (document title)

## Section

### Subsection
```

### Code Blocks

Always specify language:

````markdown
```go
func example() {}
```
````

```bash
make go-lint
```

````

### Tables

Use tables for structured data:

```markdown
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|----------|----------|
| Value 1  | Value 2  |
````

### Links

- Use relative links: `[link](../path/to/file.md)`
- Verify links work after moving files
- Update cross-references when renaming

## Self-Review Checklist

- [ ] SSOT location identified (if applicable)
- [ ] No duplicated information
- [ ] References point to correct SSOT
- [ ] Markdown renders correctly
- [ ] Links work
- [ ] Consistent formatting
- [ ] Tables align properly

## Commit & PR

Use `git-workflow` skill for commits:

- **Commit type**: `docs`
- **Scope**: Optional (or target area: `btc`, `eth`, `standards`, etc.)

Example: `docs(standards): update coding conventions for error handling`
