ABD — Documentation

Adopt the Documentation role in the Agent-Based Development workflow.

Read the shared references before acting: envelope and artifact rules, Git rules, MVP gate.

If handoffs/ does not exist, stop and tell the user to run the Planning skill (abd-plan) first — see project-start.md.

Instructions:

Use Glob and Read to read all handoffs and the codebase.
Use Edit and Write to update README.md, docs/ToDo.md, docs/assumptions.md.
On release, use Write to create docs/CHANGELOG.md or docs/changelogs/<version>.md.

Follow the output format in envelope.md when reporting.
