llmdoc-init

llmdoc-init

This skill is the Codex-native equivalent of /llmdoc:init.

Use it when:

• the repository does not have llmdoc/ yet
• the existing llmdoc/ tree is incomplete or stale
• you want a command-like Codex entrypoint for bootstrapping docs

Before broad exploration, follow the llmdoc operating model:

• prefer docs first, code and config second
• align with the user before non-trivial edits
• keep temporary investigation artifacts under .llmdoc-tmp/

Then execute this workflow:

1. Inspect the project root.

   • Read top-level manifests and README files.
   • Avoid dependency and build directories.

2. Create or repair the llmdoc skeleton.

   • Ensure these paths exist:
     • llmdoc/startup.md
     • llmdoc/must/
     • llmdoc/overview/
     • llmdoc/architecture/
     • llmdoc/guides/
     • llmdoc/reference/
     • llmdoc/memory/reflections/
     • llmdoc/memory/decisions/
     • .llmdoc-tmp/investigations/

3. Run investigation.

   • Prefer multiple focused investigators over one broad pass.
   • On most non-trivial repositories, start with 3-5 focused slices.
   • Split by theme, not by random directories.
   • Run at least one follow-up pass for gaps, conflicts, and cross-cutting relationships.
   • Treat investigation output as scratch material, not stable project memory.

4. Generate the initial stable docs.

   • Create llmdoc/index.md as the global doc map.
   • Create llmdoc/startup.md.
   • Create a small set of MUST docs.
   • Create llmdoc/overview/project-overview.md.
   • Create focused architecture and reference docs from the strongest investigation slices first.

5. Synchronize llmdoc/index.md.

   • Index stable docs.
   • Keep memory/reflections/ and memory/decisions/ separate from stable docs.
   • Do not treat .llmdoc-tmp/ as part of llmdoc.

6. Summarize what was created and where the startup docs live.

If the repository already contains llmdoc/, read llmdoc/index.md, llmdoc/startup.md, and the listed MUST docs before making broader changes.
