documentation-placement

documentation-placement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arch3rPro/dsh-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,054 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation-placement practice that gives each fact one authoritative home and links to it elsewhere. It distinguishes learning guides from reference material and other documentation levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing, moving, restructuring, or auditing documentation to decide where each fact belongs and what other pages should link to it.
Why use it?
It prevents the same information from being repeated in several places and becoming inconsistent or hard to find.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00069 $0.01054
Opus 5.5 $0.00028 $0.00422

Security

Grade A, and why

documentation-placement 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 2mo 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Documentation Placement

A discipline for arranging documentation so a reader can find a fact exactly once. The core rule is one home per fact: each fact lives in the tier whose job it is, and everywhere else it is a link. This skill tells you where a fact belongs, how deep to go, and how to classify a document. It applies to any repo with documentation.

The defining constraint: the authoring order is locate → set detail → classify → relocate descendant detail → link. You decide where a fact lives before you write it, not after.

The tier taxonomy: one home per fact

Documents form a hierarchy of tiers, each with a job. Place a fact in the tier whose job it is; elsewhere, link there.

Tier Job Does NOT belong there
Standing orders (top-level agent instructions) Rules an agent needs in context every session, one to three lines each, linking its home Stories, worked examples, anything restated from a linked home
Architecture map Ordered map of the system — composition, core pieces, flows, extension points Type definitions, per-module detail, decision rationale
Reference (one page per module/subsystem) Type definitions, semantics, generated API Behavior narration
Decision records Active decisions — the why, what was given up, required verification Migration plans, spec-speak once the decision has shipped
How-tos / cookbook Step-by-step guides with numbered verify steps Design rationale
Package/module README The per-module consumer contract: config, semantics, limitations, extension points JSDoc restatement, generated-catalog restatement
Generated reference Exhaustive sources regenerated from source Hand edits — change the generator instead

Placement in one sentence: bugs → incident records; rationale → decision records; procedures → how-tos; type definitions → reference pages; package contracts → READMEs; standing orders → the top-level agent instructions.

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.
