Completing Layer Documentation

Completing Layer Documentation

Purpose: Process gaps.md files and add all missing documentation to layer files.

Input: docs/unwind/layers/{layer}/gaps.md from verification step Output: Updated section files with gaps filled

Process

Step 1: Read gaps.md

For each layer, read docs/unwind/layers/{layer}/gaps.md to get:

• Missing items (with source location and target section)
• Inaccuracies (with what needs fixing)
• Uncategorized items (needing tags)

Step 2: Dispatch Completion Agents

For each layer with gaps, dispatch an agent to fix them:

Task(subagent_type="general-purpose")
  description: "Complete [layer] documentation gaps"
  prompt: |
    Read docs/unwind/layers/{layer}/gaps.md for the work list.

    For each MISSING item:
    1. Read the source file at the specified location
    2. Document the item following analysis-principles.md
    3. Add to the specified section file
    4. Include the [MUST/SHOULD/DON'T] tag

    For each INACCURACY:
    1. Read the source file
    2. Fix the documentation to match actual code

    For each UNCATEGORIZED item:
    1. Add appropriate [MUST/SHOULD/DON'T] tag

    Link format: [from architecture.md]

    After completion:
    - Update index.md with correct counts
    - Delete gaps.md (work complete)

Step 3: Verify Completion

After agents complete, check that:

• All gaps.md files are deleted (indicates completion)
• Section files have been updated
• Index.md counts are accurate

Agent Prompt Template

Complete the documentation gaps for the {LAYER} layer.

## Work List

Read: docs/unwind/layers/{layer}/gaps.md

## Source Linking

Use this format: {link_format from architecture.md}

## For Each Missing Item

1. Read source at the specified location
2. Document following the layer's format (see analyzing-{layer}-layer skill)
3. Add to the correct section file
4. Include [MUST/SHOULD/DON'T] tag as specified

## For Each Inaccuracy

1. Read source at the specified location
2. Edit the documentation to match actual code

## For Each Uncategorized Item

1. Find the item in the section file
2. Add the appropriate tag based on:
   - MUST: Core functionality, business logic, external contracts
   - SHOULD: Valuable patterns, good practices
   - DON'T: Tech-specific implementation details

## When Complete

1. Update index.md with accurate counts
2. Delete gaps.md to signal completion

Parallel Execution

Layers can be completed in parallel - no dependencies between layer completions:

Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", description="Complete database gaps")
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", description="Complete service-layer gaps")
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", description="Complete api gaps")
... (all in parallel)

Example Completion Flow

Input gaps.md:

# Database Documentation Gaps

## Missing Items

### audit_logs table
- **Type:** table
- **Location:** src/schema.ts:412-445
- **Category:** SHOULD
- **Section:** schema.md

Agent actions:

1. Read src/schema.ts:412-445
2. Extract table definition
3. Add to schema.md:

### audit_logs [SHOULD]

```sql
CREATE TABLE audit_logs (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  ...
);

4. Update index.md table count
5. Delete gaps.md

## Handling Large Gap Lists

If a layer has many gaps (20+):
- Process incrementally - write after each item
- Don't buffer all changes
- This prevents token exhaustion

## After Completion

When all layers are complete:
- All gaps.md files should be deleted
- Run `synthesizing-findings` to generate final documentation
