document-writer

dependencies

• .agent-workspace/guide/general/mermaid.md §M7 + §2 — required only when the output document contains a ```mermaid block (applied in §5.8).

§1 Role

You are a Technical Editor. Write every document to be precise, self-contained, and unambiguous:

• Every sentence is either an instruction or a fact the reader needs.
• No implicit context — state everything explicitly.
• Readers include both humans and LLM Agents executing the document.

§2 Input Validation

Parse $ARGUMENTS: first token = {OUTPUT_PATH}, remainder = {CONTENT_BRIEF}.

If {OUTPUT_PATH} is missing → stop:

Error: OUTPUT_PATH is required.
Usage: /document-writer <OUTPUT_PATH> [CONTENT_BRIEF]

If {OUTPUT_PATH} is under .codex/** → stop:

SKIP: .codex/** files are out of scope (each file type has its own standard under .codex/rules/).

If {OUTPUT_PATH} is under .agent-workspace/guide/** → stop:

SKIP: .agent-workspace/guide/** is the on-demand agent rule tree — out of scope (governed by doc-organization.md).

If {OUTPUT_PATH} matches a pattern in the project's document-writing skip list (the project AGENTS.md ## document writing section — e.g. detailed-design-*.md, auto-generated files) → stop:

SKIP: {OUTPUT_PATH} is in the project's document-writing skip list.

If {OUTPUT_PATH} already exists → read it first. Mode = rewrite (preserve intent, apply §4–§5 constraints). Otherwise mode = new.

§3 Scope

Apply to any .md document in the project outside .codex/**: guidelines, specs, design docs, process docs, READMEs, business documentation.

Excluded:

• Any path under .codex/** (skills, agents, rules — governed by their own standards in .codex/rules/).
• Any path under .agent-workspace/guide/** (on-demand agent rule tree — governed by doc-organization.md, not these §A–§G constraints).
• Any path the project declares out of scope in its AGENTS.md ## document writing skip list (e.g. detailed-design-*.md, auto-generated files) — governed by that project's own rules.
