Documentation Conventions

Keep docs/index.md Up to Date

When a new markdown doc is added under docs/**/*.md or a markdown file is renamed, ensure that @docs/index.md is updated and the document appears in the most appropriate section.

Docstring Format

Use Google style docstrings for classes and functions. These are parseable by Sphinx.

For interfaces that may be used outside a file, prefer docstrings over comments. Comments should be reserved for code within a function or interfaces local to a file.

Document New Features

When a new feature is added, update or create documentation in the docs/ directory that most closely matches the feature. Look at existing docs to find the best fit — if none exists, create a new doc and add it to @docs/index.md.

Documentation changes are not required for bug fixes or CI-related changes.

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
