blueprint-curate-docs

/blueprint:curate-docs

Curate library or project documentation into ai_docs entries optimized for AI agents - concise, actionable, gotcha-aware context that fits in PRPs.

Usage: /blueprint:curate-docs [library-name] or /blueprint:curate-docs project:[pattern-name]

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use alternative when...
Creating ai_docs for PRP context	Reading raw documentation for ad-hoc tasks
Documenting library patterns for reuse	One-time library usage
Building knowledge base for project	General library research

Context

• ai_docs directory: !find docs/blueprint -maxdepth 1 -name 'ai_docs' -type d
• Existing library docs: !find docs/blueprint/ai_docs/libraries -name "*.md" -type f
• Existing project patterns: !find docs/blueprint/ai_docs/project -name "*.md" -type f
• Library in dependencies: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name package.json -o -name pyproject.toml -o -name requirements.txt \) -exec grep -m1 "^$1[\":@=]" {} +

Parameters

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• library-name: Name of library to document (e.g., redis, pydantic)
  • Location: docs/blueprint/ai_docs/libraries/[library-name].md
  • OR project:[pattern-name] for project patterns
  • Location: docs/blueprint/ai_docs/project/[pattern-name].md

Execution

Execute complete documentation curation workflow:

Step 1: Determine target and check existing docs

1. Parse argument to determine if library or project pattern
2. Check if ai_docs entry already exists
3. If exists → Ask: Update or create new version?
4. Check project dependencies for library version

Step 2: Research and gather documentation

For libraries:

• Find official documentation URL
• Search for specific sections relevant to project use cases
• Find known issues and gotchas (WebSearch: "{library} common issues", "{library} gotchas")
• Extract key sections with WebFetch

For project patterns:

• Search codebase for pattern implementations: grep -r "{pattern}" src/
• Identify where and how it's used
• Document conventions and variations
• Extract real code examples from project

Step 3: Extract key information

1. Use cases: How/why this library/pattern is used in project
2. Common operations: Most frequent uses
3. Patterns we use: Project-specific implementations (with file references)
4. Configuration: How it's configured in this project
5. Gotchas: Version-specific behaviors, common mistakes, performance pitfalls, security considerations

Sources for gotchas: GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, team experience, official docs warnings.

Step 4: Create ai_docs entry

Generate file at appropriate location (see REFERENCE.md):

• docs/blueprint/ai_docs/libraries/[library-name].md OR
• docs/blueprint/ai_docs/project/[pattern-name].md

Include all sections from template: Quick Reference, Patterns We Use, Configuration, Gotchas, Testing, Examples.

Keep under 200 lines total.

Step 5: Add code examples

Include copy-paste-ready code snippets from:

• Project codebase (reference actual files and line numbers)
• Official documentation examples
• Stack Overflow solutions
• Personal implementation experience

Step 6: Update task registry

Update the task registry entry in docs/blueprint/manifest.json:

jq --arg now "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" \
  --argjson processed "${ITEMS_PROCESSED:-0}" \
  --argjson created "${ITEMS_CREATED:-0}" \
  '.task_registry["curate-docs"].last_completed_at = $now |
   .task_registry["curate-docs"].last_result = "success" |
   .task_registry["curate-docs"].stats.runs_total = ((.task_registry["curate-docs"].stats.runs_total // 0) + 1) |
   .task_registry["curate-docs"].stats.items_processed = $processed |
   .task_registry["curate-docs"].stats.items_created = $created' \
  docs/blueprint/manifest.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json docs/blueprint/manifest.json

Step 7: Validate and save

1. Verify entry is < 200 lines
2. Verify all code examples are accurate
3. Verify gotchas include solutions
4. Save file
5. Report completion

Agentic Optimizations

Context	Command
Check ai_docs exists	test -d docs/blueprint/ai_docs && echo "YES" || echo "NO"
List library docs	ls docs/blueprint/ai_docs/libraries/ 2>/dev/null
Check library version	grep "{library}" package.json pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null | head -1
Search for patterns	Use grep on src/ for project patterns
Fast research	Use WebSearch for common issues instead of fetching docs
