Is this skill safe to run on production repositories?

Yes, it is designed for existing repositories and uses guardrails to ensure that references are updated in place using markers without altering the core codebase logic.

What does 'non-destructive' mean in this context?

It means the skill is specifically programmed never to delete or overwrite your existing files during the documentation setup process, prioritizing your original content.

Does it support idempotent operations?

Yes, the bootstrap process is idempotent, meaning you can run it multiple times without creating duplicate files or causing errors.

How does it handle file name conflicts?

If a template file shares a name with an existing file, the skill places the new content in a dedicated '.agent-docs/compat/' directory rather than overwriting your work.

Can I see what changes the skill made?

Yes, all modifications are automatically logged in 'ACTION_LOG.md' for human review and 'ACTION_LOG.jsonl' for machine-readable tracking.
