Add docflow to a repo that already has docs, without rewriting them. Adds missing config, folders, helpers, agent guidance, and an adoption review. Use when docs already exist or doctor recommends adopt.
Write a new doc in the right place with the right name. Use when asked to "write a doc", "where should this doc go", "add an ADR", "document this decision", "new spec", or "new feature plan".
Record shipped work in the monthly changelog (append-only). Use when something ships or when asked "what changed", "add to changelog", "release notes", or "what shipped this month".
Friendly docflow readiness check: one status, one reason, and the exact next command. Use when asked if docflow is set up, ready, or "what do I do next".
Read-only docflow diagnosis: scans docs, config, changelog, and links, then recommends init, adopt, or repair. Use when asked "check docs setup", "should I set up docflow", "why is docflow not working", or "doctor".
Set up docflow in a repo with no docs yet: scaffold the docs tree, write docflow.json, add agent guidance. Use when asked to "set up docflow", "initialize docs", "scaffold docs", or "make this repo use docflow".
Safe maintenance for an existing docflow setup: regenerate INDEX.md, install missing helpers, check links, report placeholders. Use after adding/renaming docs or when doctor recommends repair.
Find the right doc before reading code. Use when asked "where is X documented", "is there a spec/ADR for X", "what's the roadmap", "open bugs", "read the docs about X", or "share the docs".
