Root Documentation Creator
Type: L3 Worker
L3 Worker that creates 7 root documentation files using templates and Context Store from coordinator.
Purpose & Scope
-
Creates 7 root documentation files (entry points for AI agents)
-
Receives Context Store from ln-110-project-docs-coordinator
-
Replaces placeholders with project-specific data
-
Self-validates structure and content (22 questions)
-
Never gathers context itself; uses coordinator input
Inputs
From coordinator:
-
contextStore : Key-value pairs with all placeholders
-
PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
-
TECH_STACK_SUMMARY
-
DEV_COMMANDS (from package.json scripts)
-
DATE (current date)
-
ENABLE_WORKFLOW_PRINCIPLES (optional boolean; default false ) — when true , expands the {{WORKFLOW_PRINCIPLES_BLOCK}} placeholder in AGENTS.md with the content of references/templates/agents_md_workflow_principles.md
-
targetDir : Project root directory
MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/docs_quality_contract.md , shared/references/docs_quality_rules.json , and shared/references/agent_instructions_writing_guide.md (the canonical writing guide for AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md).
Documents Created
File Target Sections Questions
AGENTS.md Quick Navigation, Agent Entry, Critical Rules, (optional) Workflow Principles, Development Commands, Maintenance Q1-Q6
CLAUDE.md @AGENTS.md import + ## Claude Code delta (≤20 lines total) Q1-Q6
docs/README.md Quick Navigation, Agent Entry, Documentation Map, Maintenance Q7-Q13
docs/documentation_standards.md Quick Reference (60+ requirements), 12 main sections, Maintenance Q14-Q16
docs/principles.md Core Principles (8), Decision Framework, Anti-Patterns, Verification, Maintenance Q17-Q22
Workflow
Phase 1: Receive Context
-
Parse Context Store from coordinator
-
Validate required keys present (PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_DESCRIPTION)
-
Set defaults for missing optional keys (ENABLE_WORKFLOW_PRINCIPLES defaults to false )
Phase 2: Create Documents
For each document (AGENTS.md , CLAUDE.md , docs/README.md , docs/documentation_standards.md , docs/principles.md ):
-
Check if file exists (idempotent)
-
If exists: skip with log
-
If not exists:
-
Copy template from references/templates/
-
For AGENTS.md: enforce the shared header contract (SCOPE , DOC_KIND , DOC_ROLE: canonical , READ_WHEN , SKIP_WHEN , PRIMARY_SOURCES ) and the top-section contract (## Quick Navigation , ## Agent Entry , ## Critical Rules , ## Maintenance )
-
For AGENTS.md: if ENABLE_WORKFLOW_PRINCIPLES=true , replace the {{WORKFLOW_PRINCIPLES_BLOCK}} placeholder with the full content of references/templates/agents_md_workflow_principles.md ; otherwise strip the placeholder line and its leading comment
-
For CLAUDE.md: use the import-stub template (claude_md_template.md ). It contains DOC_ROLE: derived , a single @AGENTS.md line, and a bounded harness-specific delta. Do not inline any AGENTS.md content
-
For docs/principles.md : prefer normalized principle inputs already present in Context Store
-
If project-specific principles are absent, keep the template structure and fill only facts supported by current project sources
-
Replace {{PLACEHOLDER}} tokens with Context Store values
-
Never leave template markers in published root docs
-
If data is missing: omit the claim or use a concise neutral fallback, but do NOT emit [TBD: ...]
-
Write file
Root entrypoint rule (canonical model):
-
AGENTS.md is the single canonical source of content. It holds the Critical Rules table, MCP Tool Preferences, Navigation, Development Commands, and optional Workflow Principles.
-
CLAUDE.md is a Claude Code-specific stub that contains @AGENTS.md plus a ## Claude Code delta with harness-specific rules (≤20 lines total, ≤50 absolute max). Do not duplicate AGENTS.md content.
-
Claude Code expands @path imports into the session context at launch, so the imported AGENTS.md is available automatically.
-
Harness delta content: command terminology (/compact , /memory show ), storage pointers (~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/ ), and Claude-only features (.claude/rules/ with paths: frontmatter, nested on-demand loading).
Phase 3: Self-Validate
For each created document:
-
Check SCOPE tag in first 12 lines
-
Check metadata markers (DOC_KIND , DOC_ROLE , READ_WHEN , SKIP_WHEN , PRIMARY_SOURCES )
-
For AGENTS.md: check Quick Navigation , Agent Entry , Critical Rules , Maintenance
-
For CLAUDE.md: check @AGENTS.md import line is present and the file is ≤50 lines
-
Check required sections (from questions_root.md)
-
Check docs-quality contract compliance (no forbidden placeholders, no leaked template metadata)
-
Check POSIX endings (single newline at end)
-
Auto-fix issues where possible
Phase 4: Return Status
Return to coordinator:
{ "created_files": ["AGENTS.md", "CLAUDE.md", "docs/README.md", "docs/documentation_standards.md", "docs/principles.md"], "skipped_files": [], "quality_inputs": { "doc_paths": ["AGENTS.md", "CLAUDE.md", "docs/README.md", "docs/documentation_standards.md", "docs/principles.md"], "owners": { "AGENTS.md": "ln-111-root-docs-creator", "CLAUDE.md": "ln-111-root-docs-creator", "docs/README.md": "ln-111-root-docs-creator", "docs/documentation_standards.md": "ln-111-root-docs-creator", "docs/principles.md": "ln-111-root-docs-creator" } }, "validation_status": "passed" }
Critical Notes
Core Rules
-
Idempotent: Never overwrite existing files; skip and log
-
No context gathering: All data comes from coordinator's Context Store
-
Publishable output: Root docs must not contain [TBD: ...] , TODO , or leaked template metadata
-
Language: All root docs in English (universal standards)
-
SCOPE tags: Required in first 10 lines of each file (HTML comments are stripped from Claude Code's injected context but stay visible to maintainers and auditors)
-
Canonical-stub root model: AGENTS.md is the single source; CLAUDE.md is an @AGENTS.md import plus bounded harness delta. See shared/references/agent_instructions_writing_guide.md for rationale and anti-patterns.
NO_CODE_EXAMPLES Rule (MANDATORY)
Root documents define navigation and standards, NOT implementations:
-
FORBIDDEN: Code blocks, implementation snippets
-
ALLOWED: Tables, links, command examples (1 line)
-
TEMPLATE RULE: All templates include <!-- NO_CODE_EXAMPLES: ... --> tag - FOLLOW IT
Stack Adaptation Rule (MANDATORY)
-
All external links must match project stack (detected in Context Store)
-
.NET project → Microsoft docs; Node.js → MDN, npm docs; Python → Python docs
-
Never mix stack references (no Python examples in .NET project)
Format Priority (MANDATORY)
Tables/ASCII > Lists (enumerations only) > Text (last resort)
Runtime Summary Artifact
MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/docs_generation_summary_contract.md
Accept optional summaryArtifactPath .
Summary kind:
- docs-generation
Required payload semantics:
-
worker = "ln-111"
-
status
-
created_files
-
skipped_files
-
quality_inputs
-
validation_status
-
warnings
Write the summary to the provided artifact path or return the same envelope in structured output.
Definition of Done
-
Context Store received and validated
-
Root documents created (or skipped if exist)
-
All placeholders replaced; no [TBD: ...] markers or template metadata remain in root docs
-
CLAUDE.md contains exactly one @AGENTS.md line and a bounded harness delta (≤50 lines total)
-
If ENABLE_WORKFLOW_PRINCIPLES=true : the workflow principles shard is expanded in AGENTS.md; if false : the placeholder line is stripped
-
Self-validation passed (SCOPE, metadata markers, top sections, Maintenance, POSIX)
-
Actuality verified: all document facts match current code (paths, functions, APIs, configs exist and are accurate)
-
Status returned
