OGT Docs - Create

Root skill for creating new documentation entities.

Overview

This skill routes to specialized creation workflows based on what type of document you're creating. Every entity becomes a folder with appropriate files and signals.

    RULE --> |folder| RULES["docs/rules/"]
    SOCIAL --> |folder| CONTENT["docs/content/"]
    CHANGE --> |file| CHANGELOG["CHANGELOG.md"]

When to Use

• Creating new tasks
• Adding definitions (features, code, business, etc.)
• Establishing new rules
• Creating social/marketing content
• Updating changelog

Creation Workflow

All creation follows the same pattern:

flowchart LR
    A[Identify Type] --> B[Create Folder]
    B --> C[Copy Template]
    C --> D[Fill Content]
    D --> E[Add Signals]
    E --> F[Verify Structure]

Step 1: Identify Type

Determine what you're creating:

If you need to...	Create a...	Location
Track work to do	Task	docs/todo/pending/
Document a product feature	Feature	docs/define/features/
Document code architecture	Code definition	docs/define/code/
Establish coding standard	Code rule	docs/rules/code/
Record what changed	Changelog entry	CHANGELOG.md

Step 2: Create Folder

# Use slug format: lowercase, hyphens, no spaces
mkdir -p docs/{section}/{category}/{slug}

# Examples
mkdir -p docs/todo/pending/user-auth-flow
mkdir -p docs/define/features/dark-mode
mkdir -p docs/rules/code/error-handling

Step 3: Copy Template

# Copy appropriate template
cp docs/_templates/{type}.md docs/{path}/{slug}/{type}.md

# Examples
cp docs/_templates/task.md docs/todo/pending/user-auth-flow/task.md
cp docs/_templates/feature.md docs/define/features/dark-mode/feature.md
cp docs/_templates/rule.md docs/rules/code/error-handling/rule.md

Step 4: Fill Content

Edit the template with actual content. See sub-skill documentation for required sections.

Step 5: Add Signals

# Common signals
echo '{"schema": "1.0", "created": "'$(date -Iseconds)'"}' > {folder}/.version

# Type-specific signals
echo "high" > docs/todo/pending/{task}/.priority
touch docs/rules/code/{rule}/.enforced_by

Step 6: Verify Structure

# Verify folder has required files
ls -la docs/{path}/{slug}/

# Expected output example for task:
# task.md
# .version
# .priority

{What and why}

## Objectives

- Objective 1
- Objective 2

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Criterion 1
- [ ] Criterion 2

## Dependencies

{None or list}

## Estimated Effort

{Size} ({time})

Feature Template

# Feature: {Name}

## Summary

{What the feature does}

## User Stories

As a {user}, I want to {action}, so that {benefit}.

## Scope

### In Scope

- Item 1

### Out of Scope

- Item 1

## Success Metrics

- Metric 1

Definition Template

# {Name}

## Summary

{One paragraph}

## Details

{Full explanation}

## Examples

{Examples}

## Related

- {Links}

Rule Template

# Rule: {Name}

## Summary

{One sentence}

## Rationale

{Why}

## The Rule

{MUST/SHOULD/MAY statements}

## Examples

### Correct

{example}

### Incorrect

{example}

## Enforcement

{How enforced}

---

Batch Creation

Create multiple related items at once:

#!/bin/bash
# create-feature-with-tasks.sh

FEATURE=$1

# Create feature definition
mkdir -p docs/define/features/$FEATURE
cat > docs/define/features/$FEATURE/feature.md << EOF
# Feature: $(echo $FEATURE | tr '-' ' ' | sed 's/\b\(.\)/\u\1/g')

## Summary

TODO: Add summary

## User Stories

As a user, I want to TODO, so that TODO.
EOF

# Create initial tasks
for task in "design" "implement" "test" "document"; do
  mkdir -p docs/todo/pending/${FEATURE}-${task}
  cat > docs/todo/pending/${FEATURE}-${task}/task.md << EOF
# Task: $(echo $FEATURE | tr '-' ' ' | sed 's/\b\(.\)/\u\1/g') - $(echo $task | sed 's/\b\(.\)/\u\1/g')

## Summary

${task^} the $FEATURE feature.

## Objectives

- TODO

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] TODO
EOF
  echo "medium" > docs/todo/pending/${FEATURE}-${task}/.priority
done

echo "Created feature: $FEATURE"
echo "Created tasks: ${FEATURE}-design, ${FEATURE}-implement, ${FEATURE}-test, ${FEATURE}-document"

Usage:

./create-feature-with-tasks.sh dark-mode

Naming Conventions

Slug Format

All folder names use slug format:

Rule	Example
Lowercase	user-auth not User-Auth
Hyphens for spaces	dark-mode not dark_mode
No special chars	oauth2 not oauth2.0
Descriptive	steam-oauth-provider not sop
Under 30 chars	Keep it readable

Good Names

docs/todo/pending/add-steam-oauth
docs/define/features/dark-mode-toggle
docs/rules/code/no-implicit-any

Bad Names

docs/todo/pending/Add Steam OAuth          # Spaces, caps
docs/define/features/dark_mode_toggle      # Underscores
docs/rules/code/rule1                      # Not descriptive

---

Validation

After creating any document:

Check Required Files

# Task
test -f docs/todo/pending/{slug}/task.md || echo "MISSING: task.md"
test -f docs/todo/pending/{slug}/.priority || echo "MISSING: .priority"

# Feature
test -f docs/define/features/{slug}/feature.md || echo "MISSING: feature.md"
test -f docs/define/features/{slug}/mvp.md || echo "MISSING: mvp.md"

# Rule
test -f docs/rules/{category}/{slug}/rule.md || echo "MISSING: rule.md"
test -f docs/rules/{category}/{slug}/.enforced_by || echo "MISSING: .enforced_by"

Check Required Sections

# For any markdown file, check for required headings
file=$1
required=("## Summary" "## Objectives" "## Acceptance Criteria")

for section in "${required[@]}"; do
  grep -q "$section" "$file" || echo "MISSING: $section in $file"
done

Common Creation Patterns

New Feature Flow

1. Create feature definition
2. Create mvp.md defining scope
3. Create phase_0.md for initial work
4. Create tasks for phase_0

# 1. Feature folder
mkdir -p docs/define/features/search

# 2. Feature definition
cat > docs/define/features/search/feature.md << 'EOF'
# Feature: Global Search

## Summary
Fuzzy search across all content types.
EOF

# 3. MVP scope
cat > docs/define/features/search/mvp.md << 'EOF'
# MVP: Global Search

## In MVP
- Phase 0 only

## Definition of Done
- Search returns results in <100ms
- Fuzzy matching works
EOF

# 4. Phase 0
cat > docs/define/features/search/phase_0.md << 'EOF'
# Phase 0: Basic Search

## Deliverables
- MiniSearch integration
- Global search component
EOF

# 5. Tasks
mkdir -p docs/todo/pending/search-minisearch-setup
# ... create task

New Rule Flow

1. Identify pattern to standardize
2. Create rule folder
3. Write rule with examples
4. Configure enforcement
5. Announce to team

# 1. Rule folder
mkdir -p docs/rules/code/async-await

# 2. Rule definition
cat > docs/rules/code/async-await/rule.md << 'EOF'
# Rule: Prefer async/await

## Summary
SHOULD use async/await over .then() chains.

## Rationale
Improved readability and error handling.

## The Rule
...
EOF

# 3. Examples
cat > docs/rules/code/async-await/examples.md << 'EOF'
# Examples
...
EOF

# 4. Enforcement
echo "eslint prefer-async-await" > docs/rules/code/async-await/.enforced_by

# 5. Configure ESLint
# Edit .eslintrc.js

Creation Checklist

Before finalizing any created document:

• Folder uses slug format
• Primary file exists (task.md, feature.md, etc.)
• .version signal added
• Required sections present
• No TODO placeholders remain
• Links are valid
• Spelling/grammar checked
• Related documents cross-referenced
