How does it distinguish between Plans and Living Docs?

Plans are 'foresight' written before building (what we will do), while Living Docs are 'hindsight' written after building (how it works now).

What is the primary goal of the Agent Documentation System?

The primary goal is to ensure project legibility for AI agents and humans by creating a standardized way to document plans, decisions, and current system states.

What are the different agent roles in this system?

The system defines specific documentation duties for Planners (plans/decisions), Builders (living docs), Verifiers (accuracy reports), and Gardeners (auditing and pruning).

Where should I store my design documents using this skill?

Plans are centralized in the root `design-docs/plans/` folder, while Living Docs are distributed near the code they describe, such as in `{package}/design-docs/`.

Establishes a standardized framework for AI agents to create, maintain, and evolve technical design documentation.

This skill implements a robust documentation system designed specifically for AI-driven development workflows. It provides a structured methodology for managing 'foresight' (plans) and 'hindsight' (living docs), ensuring that every agent session inherits clear context, architectural maps, and decision logs. By enforcing a visual-first doctrine and specific folder hierarchies, it prevents documentation rot and ensures that project knowledge remains legible to both humans and AI agents as the system scales.
