## Sources of truth (read, don't re-summarize)
- [docs/AGENTS.md](../../../docs/AGENTS.md) — the taxonomy ("one home per fact"), budgets, slop checklist.
- [docs/AGENTS.md](../../../docs/AGENTS.md) — hierarchy, tutorial/reference forms, taxonomy, budgets, and slop checklist.
- [.agents/notes/README.md](../../notes/README.md) — when a decision earns an Agent Note, how to file it, and what goes inside one (the header block, per-lifecycle skeleton, and Alternatives-considered mandate, gated by `verify-agent-note-format`); [docs/postmortem/README.md](../../../docs/postmortem/README.md) — when an incident earns a postmortem.
- [docs/i18n/README.md](../../../docs/i18n/README.md) — the bilingual pairing contract; editing either side of a pair obligates the counterpart in the same change.
- Root [AGENTS.md](../../../AGENTS.md) — the standing orders whose budget discipline this skill protects.
- [Archived Agent Notes](../../notes/archived/AGENTS.md) — frozen historical snapshots excluded from editorial maintenance and evolving documentation gates.
## Placing content
## Review structure before prose
Run the placement test in the standard's taxonomy table, then check the constraints that make a placement expensive or wrong:
Apply the standard's authoring order to every human-facing document in scope. Do not apply this structural pass to Agent Notes. Classify a postmortem as a reference scoped to one incident; preserve the chronological evidence required by its contract without treating chronology as a teaching sequence.
1. Locate the document in the repository and navigation trees. State its own subject and identify its direct children.
2. Set the detail boundary. Keep full detail about the document's subject, summarize direct children by purpose, responsibility, and high-level behavior, and move deeper explanations to their owning descendants with links. Treat test infrastructure as descendant-owned unless it is the document's subject.
3. Classify the document from its intended use, not its path or title. A tutorial must lead through ordered work to an observable outcome; a reference must support lookup within an explicit scope without requiring sequential reading.
4. For a tutorial, privately classify the starting reader and concepts as beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Trace each concept to its prerequisites, reorder premature material, and move optional advanced detail to a later tutorial or reference.
5. Split substantial mixed forms. Keep a small secondary form only behind a clear structural boundary.
Then check constraints that make placement expensive or wrong:
- Paired docs (`pnpm run verify-translation-pairing --list`) cost a zh counterpart update and a `--write` re-record on every edit — prefer an unpaired home for content that will churn.
- Generated catalogs are never hand-edited; if the fact belongs there, change the generator's source.
- Before renaming or moving any doc, grep for inbound references: `verify-md-links` catches Markdown links, `verify-doc-refs` catches `docs/*.md` citations in TypeScript comments, but nothing catches heading-anchor fragments — grep `#the-heading` across the repo yourself (one anchor is hardcoded in `scripts/gen-cordis-catalog.ts`).
- A move is atomic: remove from the old home, add to the new home, and fix every inbound link in the same change.
## Auditing the corpus
## Audit the corpus
The audit is a hunt for the standard's slop checklist, cheapest probes first. Verify and fetch the PR's live base, then run `pnpm --silent run change-scope --base <verified-base-ref>` to identify committed and dirty paths before applying semantic judgment. After a retarget or base merge, rerun the report and repeat the audit for prose introduced by the new base rather than relying on the earlier result.
After the structural pass, hunt the standard's slop checklist with the cheapest probes first. Verify and fetch the PR's live base, then run `pnpm --silent run change-scope --base <verified-base-ref>` to identify committed and dirty paths before applying semantic judgment. After a retarget or base merge, rerun the report and audit prose introduced by the new base.
1. Measure: `pnpm run verify-doc-budgets --list`, then `git ls-files '*.md' ':(exclude)vendor/**' | xargs wc -w | sort -rn | head -30` to spot unbudgeted outliers.
2. Hunt narrated history: `rg -n "no longer|used to|previously|was moved|renamed" --glob '*.md' --glob '*.ts' --glob '!vendor/**'` and keep only contrasts against a live alternative. Keep the vendor exclusion last so include globs cannot override it.
