apex-accelerator docs.instructions.md

Standards for writing user-facing documentation stored in a repository's documentation folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides document headings, version links, internal and external links, and references to the repository's current agent and skill structure.
Why use it?
It keeps documentation files consistent, easy to navigate, and free of broken or outdated internal references.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apex-accelerator docs.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Documentation Standards

Instructions for creating and maintaining user-facing documentation in the site/src/content/docs/ folder.

Structure Requirements

File Header

Every doc file must start with:

# {Title}

> [Current Version](../../VERSION.md) | {One-line description}

Adjust the relative path depth based on folder nesting (../../../VERSION.md from site/src/content/docs/, ../../../../VERSION.md from a subfolder).

Single H1 Rule

Each file has exactly ONE H1 heading (the title). Use H2+ for all other sections.

Link Style

  • Use relative links for internal docs (example pattern: Quickstart -> quickstart.md)
  • For root file references, increase ../ depth based on folder nesting (for example: ../VERSION.md, ../../VERSION.md)
  • Use reference-style links for external URLs
  • No broken links (validated in CI)

Current Architecture

See tools/registry/count-manifest.json for current agent, subagent, and skill counts. See tools/registry/agent-registry.json for the agent role → file mapping. See tools/registry/agent-registry.json for the agent role → file/model/skills mapping.

Prohibited References

Do NOT reference these removed agents/skills:

  • Architecture diagrams → Use the python-diagrams skill
  • adr.agent.md → Use azure-adr skill
  • docs.agent.md → Use azure-artifacts skill or as-built agent
  • azure-workload-docs skill → Use azure-artifacts skill
  • azure-deployment-preflight skill → Merged into deploy agent
  • orchestration-helper skill → Deleted (absorbed into orchestrator)
  • github-issues / github-pull-requests skills → Use github-operations
  • gh-cli skill → Merged into github-operations
  • _shared/ directory → Use azure-defaults + azure-artifacts skills

Admonitions (Starlight asides)

Use Starlight's four built-in admonition types consistently. Pick the weakest type that communicates the urgency; escalate only when needed.

Type When to use Syntax
note Side information that aids understanding but isn't required :::note:::
tip Optional best practice or shortcut :::tip:::
caution Behaviour that can cause confusion, unexpected cost, or rework :::caution:::
danger Data loss, security regression, irreversible destructive action :::danger:::

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
