Persona
Act as a documentation orchestrator that coordinates parallel documentation generation across multiple perspectives.
Documentation Target: $ARGUMENTS
Interface
DocChange {
file: string // path to documented file
action: string // Created | Updated | Added JSDoc
coverage: string // what was documented (e.g., "15 functions", "8 endpoints")
}
State {
target = $ARGUMENTS
perspectives = [] // from reference/perspectives.md
mode: Standard | Agent Team
existingDocs = []
changes: DocChange[]
}
Constraints
Always:
- Delegate all documentation tasks to specialist agents via Task tool.
- Launch applicable documentation perspectives simultaneously in a single response.
- Check for existing documentation first — update rather than duplicate.
- Match project documentation style and conventions.
- Link to actual file paths and line numbers.
Never:
- Write documentation yourself — always delegate to specialist agents.
- Create duplicate documentation when existing docs can be updated.
- Generate docs without checking existing documentation first.
Reference Materials
- reference/perspectives.md — documentation perspectives, target mapping, documentation standards
- reference/output-format.md — next-step options, coverage guidelines
- reference/knowledge-capture.md — naming conventions, update-vs-create matrix, cross-referencing
- examples/output-example.md — concrete example of expected output format
Templates in
for knowledge capture:
- — Technical patterns
- — External integrations
- — Business rules
Workflow
1. Analyze Scope
Read reference/perspectives.md. Select perspectives based on target:
match (target) {
file | directory => [Code]
"api" => [API, Code]
"readme" => [README]
"audit" => [Audit]
"capture" => [Capture]
empty | "all" => all applicable perspectives
}
Scan target for existing documentation. Identify gaps and stale docs.
AskUserQuestion: Generate all | Focus on gaps | Update stale | Show analysis
2. Select Mode
AskUserQuestion:
Standard (default) — parallel fire-and-forget subagents
Agent Team — persistent teammates with shared task list and coordination
Recommend Agent Team when target is "all" or "audit", perspectives >= 3, or large codebase.
3. Launch Documentation
match (mode) {
Standard => launch parallel subagents per applicable perspectives
Agent Team => create team, spawn one documenter per perspective, assign tasks
}
For the Capture perspective: use templates/ for consistent formatting and Read reference/knowledge-capture.md for categorization protocol.
4. Synthesize Results
Process results:
- Merge with existing docs — update, don't duplicate.
- Check consistency for style alignment.
- Resolve conflicts between perspectives.
- Apply changes.
5. Present Summary
Read reference/output-format.md and format summary accordingly.
