Do not just describe it.</strong></p>\n<p>Generate and validate documentation for any project. <code>--mode</code> selects the artifact family — the default mode handles code/API docs and code-maps; <code>--mode=readme</code> generates a gold-standard README; <code>--mode=oss</code> scaffolds and audits the open-source doc pack.</p>\n<h2>Prompt</h2>\n<pre><code>Document the retry-queue package at platform-lab/internal/retryqueue: default mode, code/API docs plus a code-map. Ground every claim in the current source, run the default mode's validation, and report which files were created or updated plus any not-checked gaps.\n</code></pre>\n<h2>It's working if</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The generated doc cites real symbols from <code>internal/retryqueue/queue.go</code>, never an invented function name.</li>\n<li>AgentOps self-documentation stays inside the operations-layer category from <code>docs/contracts/ubiquitous-language.md</code>, never calling it an execution orchestrator, factory, corpus, or loop.</li>\n<li>OSS scaffold mode creates only missing files, e.g. skips <code>README.md</code> when it already exists and reports that skip.</li>\n<li>The report names the mode's validation command it ran, such as <code>scripts/docs-build.sh --check</code>, with its result.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Constraints</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ground every documentation claim in the current repository, because plausible but stale prose is a documentation defect.</li>\n<li>When the subject is AgentOps itself, generated product and docs copy starts from the canonical category (<code>docs/contracts/ubiquitous-language.md</code>: the operations layer for agentic engineering) and preserves the ownership boundary; never describe AgentOps as an execution orchestrator, factory, corpus, or loop.</li>\n<li>Research in bounded chunks against a coverage ledger, and hold finished docs to the conceptual-surprise floor (see <a href=\"#research-and-depth-kernels\">Research and depth kernels</a>).</li>\n<li>In OSS scaffold mode, create missing docs only by default; never update or overwrite an existing doc unless the user explicitly confirms, because these files may contain operator-owned policy and project history. Treat <code>refresh</code> as a separate opt-in path and confirm its target writes with the user before proceeding.</li>\n<li>Keep mode boundaries explicit and run the selected mode's validation, because default, README, and OSS outputs have different completion criteria.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Modes</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><code>--mode</code></th>\n<th>Artifact</th>\n<th>Read first</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em>(default)</em></td>\n<td>API docs, code-maps, doc coverage/validate</td>\n<td>this file</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>readme</code></td>\n<td>Gold-standard README (interview → generate → de-slop → deterministic checks)</td>\n<td><a href=\"references/readme-craft.md\">references/readme-craft.md</a></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>oss</code></td>\n<td>OSS doc pack (CONTRIBUTING/CHANGELOG/AGENTS.md, audit + scaffold)</td>\n<td><a href=\"references/oss-pack.md\">references/oss-pack.md</a></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Same skill, different shapes. Prefer modes and references over a pile of\none-off doc skills. README generate/rewrite always runs the\n<a href=\"references/de-slopify.md\">de-slopify</a> docs-prose pass before checks.</p>\n<p><strong>Mode routing (absorbed skills):</strong></p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>You typed</th>\n<th>Runs</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\"readme\", \"rewrite the README\", \"validate the README\"</td>\n<td>Doc in <code>readme</code> mode</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\"oss docs\", \"scaffold contributing\", \"audit OSS docs\"</td>\n<td>Doc in <code>oss</code> mode</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>When invoked with <code>--mode=readme</code> or <code>--mode=oss</code>, read the corresponding reference above and follow its workflow verbatim. The default-mode steps below apply only when no mode (or the implied code-docs mode) is selected.</p>\n<h2>Execution Steps (default mode — code/API docs)</h2>\n<p>Default mode is deliberately thin. Given a Doc command and target:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Detect project type</strong> — <code>ls package.json pyproject.toml go.mod Cargo.toml</code> + existing <code>docs/</code>; classify CODING / INFORMATIONAL / OPS.</li>\n<li><strong>Run the command</strong> — <code>discover</code> (grep undocumented funcs), <code>coverage</code> (documented vs total), <code>gen [feature]</code> (read code → stamp function/class markdown), <code>all</code>, or <code>validate</code>.</li>\n<li><strong>Write the report</strong> to <code>.agents/scratch/doc/YYYY-MM-DD-&lt;target&gt;.md</code> (coverage %, generated, gaps, validation issues), then report coverage + gaps to the user.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Full step-by-step detail — grep recipes, function/class + code-map templates, the report skeleton, key rules, worked examples, and the troubleshooting table — lives in <strong><a href=\"references/default-mode.md\">references/default-mode.md</a></strong> (moved there in the generic-craft trim). Read it when you need the exact shapes; otherwise just do the three steps.</p>\n<h2>Research and depth kernels</h2>\n<p><strong>Bounded-chunk research with a coverage ledger.</strong> Before writing about a\nsurface larger than a handful of files, enumerate the chunks to read (modules,\ncommands, config surfaces) as a ledger in the report, then research one\nbounded chunk at a time, marking each <code>read</code>, <code>skimmed</code>, or <code>skipped</code> with a\nreason. The document may only make claims about <code>read</code> chunks; <code>skimmed</code> and\n<code>skipped</code> chunks appear in the report as disclosed gaps. Writing from an\nunledgered wander through the codebase is the <strong>ambient research</strong> failure\nmode: coverage becomes whatever the walk happened to touch, and nobody —\nincluding you — can say what the doc silently omits. Stop condition: the\nledger has no unmarked chunks before the doc is reported complete.</p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual-surprise floor.</strong> A doc that surprises no one taught nothing.\nBefore reporting completion, name at least one thing in the document that a\nreader who already skimmed the code would not have known — a non-obvious\ninvariant, an ordering constraint, a why behind a structure, a trap. If no\nsuch item exists, the doc is restating the code's surface; either dig for the\nmissing concept or report the doc as reference-only coverage, not teaching\nmaterial. Prose that renarrates signatures and file names is the <strong>mirror\ndoc</strong> failure mode — accurate, complete, and useless.</p>\n<h2>Output Specification</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Path:</strong> default-mode reports go to the artifact directory <code>.agents/scratch/doc/</code>; README mode updates the repository <code>README.md</code>; OSS scaffold mode creates missing root documentation only by default. The separate OSS <code>refresh</code> path may update an existing doc only after explicit user confirmation.</li>\n<li><strong>Filename:</strong> default reports use the filename convention <code>YYYY-MM-DD-&lt;target&gt;.md</code>; README and OSS filenames follow their mode references.</li>\n<li><strong>Format:</strong> outputs are Markdown; the default report schema records coverage percentage, generated artifacts, gaps, and validation issues.</li>\n<li><strong>Validation command:</strong> validate the skill contract with <code>bash skills/doc/scripts/validate.sh</code>, then run the mode-specific validation required by its reference before reporting completion.</li>\n<li><strong>Downstream handoff:</strong> return changed paths, validation results, coverage or remaining gaps, and any blocked decision to the requesting caller or evidence consumer.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Quality Checklist</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Every factual claim is traceable to inspected code, configuration, or existing documentation.</li>\n<li>Generated documentation follows the selected mode's templates and preserves useful existing depth.</li>\n<li>README generate/rewrite runs <a href=\"references/de-slopify.md\">references/de-slopify.md</a> before deterministic checks.</li>\n<li>Completion reports name the validators run and disclose unresolved gaps rather than implying full coverage.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Reference Documents</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/default-mode.md\">references/default-mode.md</a> — default mode (code/API docs): the full Steps 1-7 detail — grep recipes, function/class + code-map templates, report skeleton, worked examples, troubleshooting (moved out of SKILL.md in the generic-craft trim)</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/doc.feature\">references/doc.feature</a> — Executable spec: detect project type, generate type-appropriate docs from the repo, validate existing docs against source (soc-qk4b)</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/readme.feature\">references/readme.feature</a> — Executable spec (<code>--mode=readme</code>): mode detection, problem-first lead, trust block near install, collapse-don't-delete depth, evidence reporting, and anti-pattern detection</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/oss-docs.feature\">references/oss-docs.feature</a> — Executable spec (<code>--mode=oss</code>): audit existing/missing OSS docs, scaffold missing without overwrite, project-type-tailored (soc-qk4b)</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/readme-craft.md\">references/readme-craft.md</a> — <code>--mode=readme</code>: the 8 gold-standard README patterns, interview, generation structure, deterministic checks, and anti-pattern table</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/oss-pack.md\">references/oss-pack.md</a> — <code>--mode=oss</code>: audit + scaffold the OSS doc pack (CONTRIBUTING/CHANGELOG/AGENTS.md), project-type templates</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/oss-documentation-tiers.md\">references/oss-documentation-tiers.md</a> — OSS doc tier definitions (core/standard/enhanced)</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/oss-project-types.md\">references/oss-project-types.md</a> — Per-type OSS scaffolding templates (cli/operator/service/library/helm)</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/generation-templates.md\">references/generation-templates.md</a></p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/prose-and-report-workmanship.md\">references/prose-and-report-workmanship.md</a></p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/project-types.md\">references/project-types.md</a></p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/validation-rules.md\">references/validation-rules.md</a></p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/de-slopify.md\">references/de-slopify.md</a> — Docs prose pass (required in README mode)</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"references/architecture-report.md\">references/architecture-report.md</a> — Generate technical architecture documents</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Examples</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Default mode documents the changed surface using <code>references/default-mode.md</code>.</li>\n<li><code>readme</code> mode creates or revises the repository README.</li>\n<li><code>oss</code> mode creates the explicitly requested open-source documentation pack.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Problem</th>\n<th>Fix</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Default mode feels heavyweight</td>\n<td>Read <a href=\"references/default-mode.md\">references/default-mode.md</a> — or just ask the model directly for simple docs</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>README evidence has gaps</td>\n<td>Report the concrete gaps;
