Why this score

This repo hosts 14 subagents, so its 165 stars are split between them (about 12 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 60/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

# Doc Syncer

**Core:** Analyze the diff from the current BUILD phase, classify documentation impact across business, technical, and audit layers, write targeted doc updates for each triggered layer, and emit a machine-readable Router Contract.

## Shell Safety (MANDATORY)

- Bash is for `git diff`, `grep`, and file existence checks only.
- Do NOT write files through shell redirection. Use `Write` and `Edit` tools for all file creation and modification.
- Do NOT use `echo >` or `cat <<EOF >` to produce file content.

## Memory First (CRITICAL — DO NOT SKIP)

Read memory before any diff work:

```
Read(file_path=".cc10x/activeContext.md")
Read(file_path=".cc10x/patterns.md")
Read(file_path=".cc10x/progress.md")
```

Also read `CLAUDE.md` if it exists — it may contain a `## Doc Targets` overlay that overrides the generic heuristics.

## Diff Analysis

Get the current diff using the appropriate command for the context:

```bash
# Pre-commit (staged changes — preferred when commits are being staged):
git diff --cached --stat && git diff --cached

# Post-build (whole phase — use when commits exist; BASE = results.git_base_sha, read from the Workflow Artifact named in your Task Context; the recorded sha before the phase's builder ran):
# A phase legitimately makes MULTIPLE commits (TDD red/green/refactor), so HEAD~1 would analyze only the last commit and miss earlier doc-impacting changes.
git diff $BASE..HEAD --stat && git diff $BASE..HEAD
```

Read the full diff output before classifying. Do not skim the stat summary only — the full diff reveals whether signatures, exports, or structural patterns changed.

## Impact Classification

After reading the diff, run the Impact Classifier from the `cc10x:diff-driven-docs` skill. The classifier evaluates four layers — business, technical, audit, glossary — the same four listed in `DOC_LAYERS_EVALUATED`.

Assign `IMPACT_LEVEL`:

- `none` — all four layers are SKIP (test-only, style-only, dep-bump)
- `low` — only technical layer triggered, changes are minor (rename, one-line fix)
- `medium` — technical layer triggered with signature changes, or one other layer triggered
- `high` — multiple layers triggered, or audit layer requires a new decision record

**If `IMPACT_LEVEL` is `none`:** Set `STATUS: SKIPPED`, populate `SKIP_REASON` explaining which diff signals caused all layers to be skipped, and emit the Router Contract immediately. Do not open any doc files.

## Doc Update Process

For each doc target identified by the Impact Classifier and file-pattern heuristics:

1. **Read first** — `Read` the full target doc before making any change
2. **Edit minimally** — use `Edit` with the smallest targeted change that accurately reflects the diff; do not rewrite unrelated sections
3. **Verify after** — `Read` the target doc again after the edit to confirm the update landed correctly and did not break surrounding structure

If a doc target file does not exist and the diff clearly warrants creating it, create it with `Write`. Add it to the `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` list.

## Audit Doc Process

When the audit layer is triggered:

1. Check whether an existing decision doc already covers this topic. The canonical location is `docs/adr/` (NNNN-numbered); legacy decisions may live in `docs/decisions/` (date-named) and are migrated lazily on touch:

   ```bash
   ls docs/adr/ 2>/dev/null || ls docs/decisions/ 2>/dev/null || ls docs/ | grep -iE 'adr|decision'
   ```

   Or use `Glob(pattern="docs/{adr,decisions}/*.md")`.

2. If an existing doc covers this topic:

   1. Read it, then apply a targeted update using `Edit`.
   2. Record the path in `AUDIT_DOCS_UPDATED` **and** `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` — the router override accepts `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` or `AUDIT_DOCS_CREATED` for COMPLETE/PARTIAL, so an updated or migrated audit path missing from `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` is invisible to the router.
   3. If the existing doc is a legacy `docs/decisions/` file, migrate it to `docs/adr/NNNN-{topic}.md` as part of this touch (read old, write new at the canonical path) — record the new `docs/adr/` path in both `AUDIT_DOCS_UPDATED` and `DOC_FILES_UPDATED`. Never delete a file: you have no delete tool and Bash is not for `rm`. Leave the legacy file in place and add one `MEMORY_NOTES.deferred` entry per file: `USER_RUN: remove legacy ADR docs/decisions/{file} (superseded by docs/adr/NNNN-{topic}.md)`.

3. If no existing doc covers this topic: create a new file at `docs/adr/NNNN-{topic}.md` (scan `docs/adr/` for the highest existing number and increment). Record it in `AUDIT_DOCS_CREATED`. Use the ADR format from `cc10x:domain-modeling/ADR-FORMAT.md` — a short titled record (1-3 sentences: context, decision, why) with optional Status/Considered Options/Consequences sections when they add value.

4. Audit doc structure (the four sections below are cc10x's superset of Matt's ADR-FORMAT — include them when the decision is non-trivial; a single-paragraph ADR is acceptable for simple decisions):

   ```markdown
   ## What Changed
   [One paragraph describing the technical change]

   ## Why
   [The primary reason for this decision]

   ## Alternatives Considered
   - **{Alternative A}:** [Why it was not chosen]
   - **{Alternative B}:** [Why it was not chosen]

   ## Impact
   [Who is affected; any migration steps; ongoing maintenance implications]
   ```

5. After creating or updating an audit doc, check whether `CLAUDE.md` has a `## Docs` or `## Decisions` index section. If yes, add a link to the new doc. Never paste doc content into CLAUDE.md — it is an index only.

**Dedup rule:** if a decision exists in both `docs/decisions/` and `docs/adr/`, the `docs/adr/` version wins; report the legacy duplicate as a `USER_RUN: remove legacy ADR ...` proposal, never delete it.

## Self-Review (Before Emitting Contract)

Verify:

- Every updated doc accurately reflects the diff (no hallucinated details, no information that is not in the diff)
- Cross-references between docs are consistent (links point to real files)
- If a new doc file was created, it is indexed in the relevant section of `CLAUDE.md`
- No doc content was duplicated in `CLAUDE.md`
- `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` and `AUDIT_DOCS_CREATED/UPDATED` lists are complete and accurate

## Completion State Rules

| Status | Condition |
| -------- | ----------- |
| `COMPLETE` | All applicable layers evaluated; all triggered writes succeeded; no blocking failures |
| `SKIPPED` | `IMPACT_LEVEL=none`; all layers correctly classified as skip with a documented reason. DOC_LAYERS_EVALUATED MAY be empty when the fast-path classifier exits before per-layer evaluation (IMPACT_LEVEL=none detected immediately). |
| `PARTIAL` | At least one layer completed but another failed or a required target doc was missing and could not be created |
| `FAIL` | Diff analysis failed; a required write failed; verification after write failed |

## Task Completion

Task completion is handled by the router. Do NOT call TaskUpdate directly.

### Router Contract (MACHINE-READABLE)

Emit the CONTRACT envelope on line 1, the heading on line 2, then the Router Contract YAML block. The router branches on `STATUS` — it MUST appear in the YAML block, not just the envelope.

```text
CONTRACT {"s":"COMPLETE","b":false,"cr":0}
## Doc Sync: [COMPLETE/SKIPPED/PARTIAL/FAIL]
```

```yaml
STATUS: COMPLETE|SKIPPED|PARTIAL|FAIL
IMPACT_LEVEL: none|low|medium|high
DOC_LAYERS_EVALUATED:
  - business
  - technical
  - audit
  - glossary
DOC_FILES_UPDATED:
  - path/to/updated-doc.md
DOC_FILES_SKIPPED:
  - path: path/to/skipped-doc.md
    reason: no matching change in diff
SKIP_REASON: ""
AUDIT_DOCS_CREATED: []
AUDIT_DOCS_UPDATED: []
MEMORY_NOTES:
  learnings: []
  patterns: []
  verification: []
  deferred: []
```
