Document Indexer FAQs

Question 1

What happens if my documentation files are missing frontmatter?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes an automated compliance checker. It will flag any markdown files missing YAML frontmatter as 'non-compliant,' alerting you to documentation that needs better metadata for AI discoverability.

Question 2

When should I use this skill in my workflow?

Accepted Answer

It is best used at the start of a new work session, when beginning a new task, or before proposing architectural changes. It helps you quickly identify which specific documentation files are relevant to your current objective.

Question 3

What does the Document Indexer skill do?

Accepted Answer

The Document Indexer scans your project's 'docs/' directory to extract YAML frontmatter from markdown files. It creates a structured map of your documentation, allowing Claude to understand what specs, plans, and guides are available without reading every file entirely.

Question 4

Does this skill require any external dependencies?

Accepted Answer

No. The core scanning script works using standard bash commands and does not require external tools like jq, making it easy to run in most development environments.

Question 5

How does this skill help save tokens?

Accepted Answer

Instead of loading full document contents into the context window, this skill only retrieves metadata (like titles and statuses). This 'just-in-time' approach ensures Claude only reads the full text of relevant files when they are actually needed.
