Docs Site

Docs-Site

Audit and maintain the documentation site as a build/deploy artifact. /techne:docsync answers "does this claim match the code?"; /techne:docs-site answers "does this site build, deploy, render, and link correctly?"

Repo context

cat .claude/skill-context.md 2>/dev/null || echo "(no .claude/skill-context.md — skill will use generic defaults for CSS/JS stack)"

The injected ## docs_site section (if present) supplies this repo's CSS file list, JS file list, build command, site URL, and expected action pins. Use those over the generic defaults below when available.

Surface

• zensical.toml — nav ordering, palette, theme features, extra css/js, site URL, social links.
• .github/workflows/docs.yml — trigger paths, astral-sh/setup-uv action, build invocation (from injected docs_site.build_command), Pages upload/deploy actions and versions.
• docs/**/*.md — presence matches nav (including any nested sub-sections), internal links resolve, anchors exist, no orphan files.
• CSS files — every file listed in zensical.toml extra_css exists on disk, and the selectors reference classes that actually appear in rendered output. The injected docs_site.css_files lists what to expect (single file vs. modular stack with components).
• JS files — every file listed in zensical.toml extra_javascript exists on disk, no dead files. The injected docs_site.js_files lists what to expect.
• docs/assets/ — every asset is referenced somewhere; no orphan binaries inflating the repo.

Checks

Run as many in parallel as the scope calls for:

1. Nav vs filesystem. Parse zensical.toml nav (sections may be nested); Glob docs/**/*.md. Every nav entry must exist as a file; every .md under docs/ (except intentional sub-pages) should appear in nav. Report missing-in-nav and missing-on-disk separately.

2. Internal links. Grep markdown link targets (](foo.md), ](foo.md#bar)) across docs/**/*.md. For each: check the file exists, and if an anchor is specified, Grep the target file for a heading that would produce that slug (lowercase, spaces → -, strip punctuation).

3. Assets referenced. For each file under docs/assets/, docs/stylesheets/, and docs/javascripts/, Grep the rest of the repo for its basename. Unreferenced assets are candidates for deletion.

4. zensical.toml sanity.

   • extra_css and extra_javascript paths exist on disk (relative to docs/).
   • site_url matches the repo's expected GitHub Pages URL (per injected docs_site.site_url).
   • Palette entries are valid theme colors (warn on typos).
   • nav has no duplicate labels.

5. Workflow sanity (docs.yml).

   • Trigger paths covers docs/**, zensical.toml, and the workflow itself.
   • Action versions are pinned to a tag (not @main), and major versions look current. The injected docs_site.action_pins (if present) lists the expected versions.
   • Build command matches the injected docs_site.build_command (typically uv run zensical build --clean or uv tool run zensical build --clean).
   • pages: write permission present; id-token: write present for OIDC deploy.

6. Local build smoke test (optional, on request). Run the injected docs_site.build_command and diff against the committed state. Never commit the resulting site/ — it's gitignored.

Report format

Group findings by surface area. One line per issue: file:line — problem — proposed fix.

zensical.toml:22
  nav entry "Specialists" = "agents/specialists.md"; file exists — ok
zensical.toml:28
  nav entry "Infrastructure" → docs/architecture/infrastructure.md:42 missing anchor #hf-buckets referenced from docs/architecture/internals.md:88
    fix: add "## HF Buckets" heading to docs/architecture/infrastructure.md, or retarget the link

docs/assets/unused-diagram.png
  orphan — no references in docs/ or zensical.toml
    fix: delete, or wire into a page

.github/workflows/docs.yml:23
  astral-sh/setup-uv@v8.0.0 — pinned, current
.github/workflows/docs.yml:39
  actions/configure-pages@v6.0.0 — pinned, current

End with a one-line verdict and an apply all / apply selected / skip? prompt if any fixes are straightforward edits.

Fan-out pattern

For a full audit (all six checks), dispatch one Explore subagent per check so they run in parallel. Each returns its findings grouped by file. Main agent consolidates and presents.

For a narrow request ("just check the nav"), do it inline without subagents.

Don't touch

• site/ (generated build output, gitignored).
• Content of docs/**/*.md — that's /techne:docsync territory. The only content touch allowed here is fixing a broken anchor reference or adding a missing heading when the link is clearly the authoritative side.
• Third-party workflows (anything not under .github/workflows/docs.yml unless it also affects docs deploy).

Hand-offs

• Prose drift or stale commands in docs pages → /techne:docsync.
• Slop in doc prose → /techne:deslop with docs/ scope.
• Rewriting unclear prose → /techne:reslop.

Why this skill is quiet

Output is the findings grouped by surface, then the edits on confirmation. No narration of the check process — the grep-and-verify loop is boring; the findings are the product.
