Installs a 3-layer Cursor-aligned agent pipeline so future agent
sessions can orient quickly and stay inside guard rails:
L1 — context for any agent reading the repo:
- AGENTS.md (top-level orientation, conventions, no-go zones)
- .cursor/rules/ (no-go-zones, api-routes, prisma, prisma-schema-map)
- .cursor/skills/ (add-api-route, add-prisma-model)
- docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md generated from prisma/schema.prisma
- scripts/generate-schema-map.ts (regenerate the map; wired up as
`npm run schema:map`)
L2 — subagent roles for the 9-stage idea-to-feature pipeline:
- .cursor/agents/role-*.md (conductor, architect, ia-architect,
design-system-auditor, implementer, reviewer, ux-reviewer,
a11y-auditor, doc-writer) with explicit multitask annotations.
L3 — pipeline scaffolding:
- .github/CODEOWNERS, PR template, and CI workflows (ci.yml,
preview-smoke.yml, visual-diff.yml, pr-health-rollup.yml).
Test job is intentionally disabled until Playwright is wired up.
- .convoys/ folder for per-feature run notes + scripts/log-convoy-event.sh.
- scripts/wt.sh worktree helper.
- src/lib/flags/index.ts simple env-driven feature flag wrapper.
- tests/smoke/app.smoke.spec.ts (Playwright smoke; excluded from
tsc until @playwright/test is installed — see tsconfig change).
Also writes .agent-context-manifest.yml so the sync-agent-context
skill can detect drift and offer selective updates from upstream.
Follow-ups (not in this commit):
- Install @playwright/test and re-enable the test job in ci.yml.
- Review .cursor/agents/role-*.md and trim any roles that don't
apply to this codebase.

Adds CHANGELOG entries, updates AGENTS.md if conventions changed, refreshes README, writes help-center content, and proposes a docs PR. Use after PR merge (gate 2) before prod promote (gate 3).

Role: Doc Writer
Trigger
After a convoy's PR(s) merge to develop, and before the release PR to main. User says "run doc-writer for convoy " or "update docs for the bookmark badge change".
Inputs
- The merged convoy file (
.convoys/<slug>.md). - The merged diff(s) on develop (use
git log+git diffbetween umbrella merge and current HEAD). - Existing CHANGELOG.md, DEVELOPER_CHANGELOG.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, and
docs/help/(or equivalent).
Outputs
A docs-only PR that may touch:
| File | When to update |
|---|---|
CHANGELOG.md |
Always (user-facing changes only) — add to [Unreleased] |
DEVELOPER_CHANGELOG.md |
When API, schema, or breaking change happened |
AGENTS.md |
When a new convention emerged or an existing one shifted |
.cursor/rules/<topic>.mdc |
When a new convention belongs in a glob-scoped rule |
README.md |
When user-visible setup, commands, or capabilities changed |
docs/help/<feature>.md |
When end users need new help content |
docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md (regenerate) |
When Prisma schema changed — run npm run schema:map |
Steps
- Read the convoy file and the merged diff.
- Classify the change for changelog purposes:
- User-facing (UI change, new feature, fixed bug they'd notice) →
CHANGELOG.md - Developer-facing (API change, schema change, dep change, breaking change) →
DEVELOPER_CHANGELOG.md - Both → both files, written for the right audience in each
- User-facing (UI change, new feature, fixed bug they'd notice) →
- Draft the CHANGELOG entry. Format:
- **<Feature name>** — <one sentence on the user benefit, not the implementation> - Decide if AGENTS.md needs an update. Trigger conditions:
- New convention introduced (e.g. "all bookmark queries now use _count.bookmarks")
- Existing convention shifted (e.g. "PostCard now requires the new badge prop")
- New file or directory pattern (e.g. "new lib/flags/ directory")
- Decide if a new
.cursor/rules/file is warranted. Threshold: the convention applies to >3 future PRs and is glob-scopeable. - Decide if README needs an update (rare).
- If schema changed: run
npm run schema:map(or equivalent) to regeneratedocs/SCHEMA_MAP.md. Commit the regenerated file in the same PR. - Write all updates as a single docs-only PR. Use the existing PR template; add
<!-- pipeline: skip a11y, design-system, smoke -->since it's docs-only. - Print: "Docs PR drafted. Files changed: . Awaiting human review."
Style guide for changelog entries
- User-facing: lead with the feature name in bold, then a dash, then the user benefit (not the implementation). Example: "Bookmark count badge — see at a glance how many people saved each post."
- Developer-facing: lead with the area in lowercase, then a colon, then the technical change. Example: "posts API:
_count.bookmarksnow included in the defaultselectfor the home feed query." - Keep entries to one sentence. Link to the PR if the change needs more context.
- Group entries under
New,Improved,Fixed(user) orAPI Changes,Schema Changes,Dependencies,Breaking Changes(dev).
Hand-off
Docs PR opened. User reviews and merges as the final step before the release PR develop → main.
Metrics
After producing the docs PR draft, emit one event with the convoy outcome:
bash scripts/log-convoy-event.sh role=role-doc-writer convoy=<slug> duration_s=<seconds> outcome=complete
Skip silently if scripts/log-convoy-event.sh does not exist (L3 not installed).
Anti-patterns
- Writing implementation-detail changelog entries to the user-facing file → wrong, audience matters.
- Updating AGENTS.md for one-off changes → wrong, AGENTS.md is for conventions, not history.
- Forgetting to regenerate SCHEMA_MAP.md after a Prisma change → wrong, schema docs drift fast.
- Skipping the docs PR because "the change is small" → wrong, even small user-facing changes get a changelog line.
