Tip

PR walkthrough: Open the visual walkthrough

The tracked decision and specification lists caused unrelated changes to conflict and became stale. This adds deterministic on-demand discovery and read-only validation, so authors query source metadata without editing shared catalogs.

Important Changes

  • Add scripts/list-docs.py with filtered Markdown, path, and JSON catalog output for decisions and specifications.
  • Replace the tracked indexes and exhaustive system README maps with static entry pages and durable boundary text.
  • Update authoring guides, templates, agent guidance, and related ADRs to use on-demand discovery.
  • Add focused Python tests plus read-only pre-commit and harness CI validation.

Validation

  • python3 scripts/list-docs.test.py
  • python3 scripts/list-docs.py validate (247 decisions, 708 specifications)
  • python3 scripts/lint-spec-files.test.py
  • python3 scripts/lint-spec-files.py --all
  • python3 scripts/lint-harness-files.test.py
  • python3 .github/scripts/lint-harness-files.py --all
  • pre-commit run docs-catalog --all-files
  • git diff --check
  • python3 -m py_compile scripts/list-docs.py scripts/list-docs.test.py

No files under docs/public/** or application code were changed.

Checklist

  • If I do not have repository write access and this is a large architectural change, I discussed the direction in a linked issue before opening this PR.
  • This PR contains one logical change; unrelated work is split into separate PRs.
  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • I have manually tested my changes and they work as expected.
  • My changes have tests that cover the new functionality and edge cases.
  • If my change touches UI files (apps/web/), I have added or updated Playwright e2e tests in apps/web/e2e/ and verified them with make test-e2e.
  • I checked whether this affects public docs in docs/public/** and updated them or noted why no docs change is needed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a documentation catalog command for discovering and filtering architecture decisions and specifications.
    • Added Markdown, path-list, and JSON output options, plus metadata and duplicate-entry validation.
  • Documentation

    • Updated documentation entry pages and authoring guidance to use on-demand catalog searches.
    • Added guidance for finding current and legacy specifications through system documentation.
  • Chores

    • Added automated catalog validation to pre-commit checks and CI.
    • Documented the on-demand catalog approach and its workflow.

Walkthrough

The repository adds an on-demand catalog CLI for ADRs and specifications. Static indexes and system specification maps now provide entry guidance. Agent instructions, pre-commit, CI, and tests use catalog discovery and validation.

Changes

Documentation catalog migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Catalog command implementation
scripts/list-docs.py
Adds decision and specification parsing, metadata validation, filtering, sorting, and Markdown, path, and JSON output.
Catalog command validation
scripts/list-docs.test.py, .github/workflows/lint-harness-files.yml
Adds CLI coverage and runs catalog tests and validation in CI.
Catalog documentation and source layout
docs/decisions/*, docs/specs/*, docs/plans/docs-catalog-discovery/*
Replaces tracked document maps with catalog instructions and preserves system boundaries and migration records in READMEs.
Authoring guidance and repository checks
.agents/skills/*, AGENTS.md, .pre-commit-config.yaml
Updates document discovery instructions and adds pre-commit catalog validation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 74307

Documentation workflows can report validation complete without checking the new catalog contract, and several changed command examples fail the repository's Markdown validation. Address these bounded authoring and lint issues before relying on the new workflow guidance.

Greptile Summary

This PR replaces tracked decision and specification maps with deterministic, read-only discovery from source metadata.

  • Adds scripts/list-docs.py with filtered Markdown, path, and JSON output.
  • Adds catalog tests and wires validation into pre-commit and harness CI.
  • Converts catalog indexes and system README files into durable entry and boundary pages.
  • Updates authoring guidance and ADRs to use on-demand discovery.
  • One specification-skill validation command is missing from the otherwise consistent authoring workflow.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR appears safe to merge after a non-blocking authoring-workflow consistency fix.

The catalog implementation and enforcement paths are coherent, but the updated /spec instructions omit the distinct catalog validation command and can delay feedback until commit or CI.

Files Needing Attention: .agents/skills/spec/SKILL.md

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
scripts/list-docs.py Adds deterministic discovery, filtering, formatting, and metadata validation for decisions and specifications.
scripts/list-docs.test.py Covers catalog variants, filters, ordering, formats, malformed metadata, and duplicate identities.
.pre-commit-config.yaml Adds read-only catalog validation for documentation and catalog-script changes.
.github/workflows/lint-harness-files.yml Runs catalog tests and full catalog validation in harness CI.
.agents/skills/spec/SKILL.md Migrates specification discovery guidance to the new catalog but omits catalog validation from the final command block.
docs/specs/INDEX.md Replaces the tracked specification table with command-based discovery and validation guidance.
docs/decisions/INDEX.md Replaces the tracked ADR table with a static catalog entry page.
docs/decisions/2026-09-07-on-demand-document-catalogs.md Records the repository decision to derive documentation catalogs on demand.

Add catalog validation to the skill's validation commands.

This change requires new artifacts to appear in the owning catalog, but the Run: block below still runs only lint-spec-files.py and git diff --check. Add python3 scripts/list-docs.py validate so this skill checks the catalog contract before it reports validation complete.
