Destination Doc

Destination Doc

Serialize operator-agent alignment into a short, disposable destination document.

Process

1. Read conversation context for a taste-calibration summary. If running standalone, gather context from $ARGUMENTS and project files.
2. Determine topic slug (kebab-case) from the subject matter.
3. Archive existing file if research/destination-[topic].md already exists (Archive-First policy).
4. Write research/destination-[topic].md with the structure below.
5. Write an alignment review page at alignment/destination-doc-[topic].html. If that file already exists, archive it first to docs/history/archive/YYYY-MM-DD/HHMMSS/alignment/destination-doc-[topic].html.
6. Attempt to open the HTML page in the browser and report whether the browser open succeeded or was blocked.

Document Structure

> Checkpointed alignment state — not a contract. Verify against code before treating any claim as current.

## Intent
[What and why — 2-4 sentences]

## Success Criteria
- [Bulleted, testable criteria]

## Taste Notes
[What would be wrong even if tests pass — qualitative signals]

## Out of Scope
- [Explicit exclusions]

## Open Questions
- [Unresolved items, if any]

Keep to 1-2 pages. Cut anything that belongs in a full spec.

Output

• research/destination-[topic].md
• alignment/destination-doc-[topic].html

Archive-First Replacement Policy

• Before replacing an existing research/destination-*.md, copy the current file to docs/history/archive/YYYY-MM-DD/HHMMSS/<original-relative-path>.
• Preserve the archived snapshot exactly as it existed; do not edit the archived copy.
• After the archive snapshot exists, write the updated document to the original canonical path.
• Before replacing an existing alignment page, copy it to docs/history/archive/YYYY-MM-DD/HHMMSS/alignment/<filename>.html.
