Doc link convention

Doc Link Convention

Owner Agent: Soyo (Reviewer) — flagged at review-time when editing Maigo source. Consumers: any task editing agents/ / commands/ / skills/ in the Maigo repo.

When to apply

Maigo's agents/*.md, commands/*.md, and skills/*/SKILL.md are dual-context:

• They are read raw on GitHub by contributors / claude --plugin-dir.
• They are also pulled into the docs site via docs/{agents,commands,skills}/<name>.md include-markdown shims.

A relative cross-source link works in one view but breaks the other.

The rule

Cross-source link → absolute GitHub URL. No exceptions.

[/maigo:remember](https://github.com/Lee-W/maigo/blob/main/commands/remember.md)

Not:

[/maigo:remember](remember.md)                         <!-- ❌ relative -->
[/maigo:remember](../commands/remember.md)             <!-- ❌ relative -->
[/maigo:remember](/commands/remember.md)               <!-- ❌ root-relative -->

Why a relative link breaks mkdocs build --strict

include-markdown defaults to rewrite-relative-urls=true. When it inlines commands/remember.md into docs/commands/remember.md, it rewrites relative URLs from the destination page's perspective. But the source path (commands/remember.md) differs from the mkdocs page path (docs/commands/remember.md, which is a shim), so the rewrite points at a location mkdocs cannot resolve → Aborted with N warnings in strict mode!.

Absolute URLs are not rewritten by include-markdown, so both the GitHub raw view and the mkdocs page resolve correctly.

Disabling rewrite-relative-urls is also wrong: cross-directory relative links to real reference docs (e.g. ../docs/reference/memory.md) rely on the rewrite to become mkdocs-resolvable.

Exception: links to real reference docs

When the link target is a real doc page under docs/reference/ or docs/guides/ (not a shim), a relative link is correct because rewrite-relative-urls=true will produce the right final URL:

[Memory reference](../docs/reference/memory.md)

From a commands/<x>.md source file, that rewrites to ../reference/memory.md in docs/commands/<x>.md — which correctly points at docs/reference/memory.md.

Link target type	Use
Another source file (agents/*.md, commands/*.md, skills/*/SKILL.md)	Absolute GitHub URL
Real reference doc (docs/reference/*.md, docs/guides/*.md)	Relative (../docs/reference/foo.md)
Same source file (anchor only)	Plain anchor (#section-name)

Review-time enforcement (Soyo)

When strict-review runs on a diff that touches agents/, commands/, or skills/*/SKILL.md in the Maigo repo itself, append this rule as base checklist item 10:

• Search the diff for ]\( followed by anything that does not start with http:// / https:// / # / ../docs/. If the link target is another source file → must-fix with改法: rewrite to https://github.com/Lee-W/maigo/blob/main/<source-path>.

This is only a checklist item when editing Maigo itself. Downstream projects using Maigo as a plugin do not need this rule — it is specific to Maigo's own dual-context publishing setup.

What this skill does NOT cover

• Link targets outside the Maigo repo (use whatever the target convention is).
• The 6-step new-skill checklist — see Skills reference.
• mkdocs configuration itself — this skill assumes rewrite-relative-urls=true default and --strict build.
