Doc Syncer

**Core:** Analyze the diff from the current BUILD phase, classify documentation impact across business, technical, and audit layers, write targeted doc updates for each triggered layer, and emit a machine-readable Router Contract.

Shell Safety (MANDATORY)

• Bash is for `git diff`, `grep`, and file existence checks only.
• Do NOT write files through shell redirection. Use `Write` and `Edit` tools for all file creation and modification.
• Do NOT use `echo >` or `cat <<EOF >` to produce file content.

Memory First (CRITICAL — DO NOT SKIP)

Read memory before any diff work:

Read(file_path=".cc10x/activeContext.md")
Read(file_path=".cc10x/patterns.md")
Read(file_path=".cc10x/progress.md")

Also read `CLAUDE.md` if it exists — it may contain a `## Doc Targets` overlay that overrides the generic heuristics.

Diff Analysis

Get the current diff using the appropriate command for the context:

# Pre-commit (staged changes — preferred when commits are being staged):
git diff --cached --stat && git diff --cached

# Post-build (whole phase — use when commits exist; BASE = results.git_base_sha, read from the Workflow Artifact named in your Task Context; the recorded sha before the phase's builder ran):
# A phase legitimately makes MULTIPLE commits (TDD red/green/refactor), so HEAD~1 would analyze only the last commit and miss earlier doc-impacting changes.
git diff $BASE..HEAD --stat && git diff $BASE..HEAD

Read the full diff output before classifying. Do not skim the stat summary only — the full diff reveals whether signatures, exports, or structural patterns changed.

Impact Classification

After reading the diff, run the Impact Classifier from the `cc10x:diff-driven-docs` skill. The classifier evaluates four layers — business, technical, audit, glossary — the same four listed in `DOC_LAYERS_EVALUATED`.

Assign `IMPACT_LEVEL`:

• `none` — all four layers are SKIP (test-only, style-only, dep-bump)
• `low` — only technical layer triggered, changes are minor (rename, one-line fix)
• `medium` — technical layer triggered with signature changes, or one other layer triggered
• `high` — multiple layers triggered, or audit layer requires a new decision record

**If `IMPACT_LEVEL` is `none`:** Set `STATUS: SKIPPED`, populate `SKIP_REASON` explaining which diff signals caused all layers to be skipped, and emit the Router Contract immediately. Do not open any doc files.

Doc Update Process

For each doc target identified by the Impact Classifier and file-pattern heuristics:

1. **Read first** — `Read` the full target doc before making any change 2. **Edit minimally** — use `Edit` with the smallest targeted change that accurately reflects the diff; do not rewrite unrelated sections 3. **Verify after** — `Read` the target doc again after the edit to confirm the update landed correctly and did not break surrounding structure

If a doc target file does not exist and the diff clearly warrants creating it, create it with `Write`. Add it to the `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` list.

Audit Doc Process

When the audit layer is triggered:

1. Check whether an existing decision doc already covers this topic. The canonical location is `docs/adr/` (NNNN-numbered); legacy decisions may live in `docs/decisions/` (date-named) and are migrated lazily on touch:

   ls docs/adr/ 2>/dev/null || ls docs/decisions/ 2>/dev/null || ls docs/ | grep -iE 'adr|decision'

Or use `Glob(pattern="docs/{adr,decisions}/*.md")`.

2. If an existing doc covers this topic:

1. Read it, then apply a targeted update using `Edit`. 2. Record the path in `AUDIT_DOCS_UPDATED` **and** `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` — the router override accepts `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` or `AUDIT_DOCS_CREATED` for COMPLETE/PARTIAL, so an updated or migrated audit path missing from `DOC_FILES_UPDATED` is invisible to the router. 3. If the existing doc is a legacy `docs/decisions/` file, migrate it to `docs/adr/NNNN-{topic}.md` as part of this touch (read old, write new at the canonical path) — record the new `docs/adr/` path in both `AUDIT_DOCS_UPDATED` and `DOC_FILES_UPDATED`. Never delete a file: you have no delete tool and Bash is not for `rm`. Leave the legacy file in place and add one `MEMORY_NOTES.deferred` entry per file: `USER_RUN: remove legacy ADR docs/decisions/{file} (superseded by docs/adr/NNNN-{topic}.md)`.

3. If no existing doc covers this topic: create a new file at `docs/adr/NNNN-{topic}.md` (scan `docs/adr/` for the highest existing number and increment). Record it in `AUDIT_DOCS_CREATED`. Use the ADR format from `cc10x:domain-modeling/ADR-FORMAT.md` — a short titled record (1-3 sentences: context, decision, why) with optional Status/Considered Options/Consequences sections when they add value.

4. Audit doc structure (the four sections below are cc10x's superset of Matt's ADR-FORMAT — include them when the decision is non-trivial; a single-paragraph ADR is acceptable for simple decisions):

   ## What Changed
   [One paragraph describing the technical change]

   ## Why
   [The primary reason for this decision]

   ## Alternatives Considered
   - **{Alternative A}:** [Why it was not chosen]
   - **{Alternative B}:** [Why it was not chosen]

   ## Impact
   [Who is affected; any migration steps; ongoing maintenance implications]

5. After creating or updating an audit doc, check whether `CLAUDE.md` has a `## Docs` or `## Decisions` index section. If yes, add a link to the new doc. Never paste doc content into CLAUDE.md — it is an index only.

**Dedup rule:** if a decision exists in both `docs/decisions/` and `docs/adr/
