description	Guidance for maintaining documentation in the docs/ site for ai-hub-tracking. Use when updating HTML pages, partials, build scripts, or Terraform reference docs.

Documentation Skills

Use this skill profile when creating or updating documentation under docs/.

Use When

• Updating technical docs for infrastructure, operations, or architecture changes
• Editing shared page templates/partials used by multiple docs pages
• Regenerating published pages from source templates after content updates

Do Not Use When

• Implementing infrastructure or policy changes without documentation work
• Performing code-review-only tasks with no docs modifications
• Editing non-doc assets/code that does not affect documentation outputs

Input Contract

Required context before doc edits:

• What changed in code/infra and why operators/readers need the update
• Target audience (engineers, operators, platform team, security reviewers)
• Source of truth files/sections that docs should reference

Output Contract

Every docs update should provide:

• Source updates in docs/_pages/ or docs/_partials/ as appropriate
• Regenerated/updated published page(s) under docs/*.html when required
• Link/anchor integrity for any added or moved sections
• Clear, concise wording aligned with existing docs tone and structure

External Documentation

• Use External Docs Research as the single source of truth for external documentation workflow and fallback approval requirements.

Documentation Sync

• If the change adds, removes, renames, or materially reorganizes tracked files or directories, update the root README.md Folder Structure section in the same change. Do not add gitignored or local-only artifacts to that tree.
• Review the documentation sync matrix in ../../copilot-instructions.md and update any area-specific README or docs pages it calls out for the touched subtree.

Scope

• Static HTML pages in docs/
• Source templates in docs/_pages/
• Shared partials in docs/_partials/
• Static assets in docs/assets/
• Site build scripts in docs/build.sh and docs/generate-tf-docs.sh

Folder Map

• docs/*.html: Published pages
• docs/_pages/*.html: Source page templates
• docs/_partials/: Shared header/footer
• docs/assets/: Images, styles, and static assets

Update Workflow

1. Edit source templates in docs/_pages/ where possible.
2. Update shared content in docs/_partials/ for site-wide changes.
3. Run docs/build.sh to regenerate published docs/*.html from _pages + _partials.
4. When Terraform modules, variables, or outputs change, run docs/generate-tf-docs.sh to regenerate docs/_pages/terraform-reference.html, then re-run docs/build.sh to publish it.

Content Standards

• Keep headings consistent with existing pages.
• Avoid duplicating content across pages; use partials for shared sections.
• Ensure links are relative and stable within the docs/ structure.
• For infra or networking changes, update relevant pages in docs/.

Quick Checklist

• Updated the correct source page in docs/_pages/
• Shared content updated in docs/_partials/ if needed
• Related published docs/*.html updated or regenerated
• Links and anchors validated

Validation Gates (Required)

1. Structural check: heading hierarchy and page layout remain consistent.
2. Link check: changed links/anchors resolve correctly within docs/.
3. Scope check: docs reflect actual behavior, not planned/unimplemented behavior.
4. Consistency check: terminology and command examples match current repo usage.
