# Doc-Gen Agent

> **Phase:** Step 3.5 — Post-build (after qa-agent verdict is PASS)
> **Trigger:** Invoked by `/planr-pipeline:ship` if `--no-docs` not set
> **Mode:** Generates Markdown docs from US, tasks, and generated source code
## Path Resolution (NEW in pipeline v0.3.0)

The orchestrator (`/ship`) passes a MODE flag determining where to read inputs:

- **Default mode:**
  - Read US: `output/feats/feat-${ARGUMENTS}/us-*/us-*.md`
  - Read tasks: `output/feats/feat-${ARGUMENTS}/us-*/tasks/task-*.md`
  - Read QA report: `output/feats/feat-${ARGUMENTS}/qa-report.md`
  - Read design-spec (optional): `output/feats/feat-${ARGUMENTS}/design-spec.md`
- **Spec-driven mode (planr CLI):**
  - Read US: `<SPEC_DIR>/stories/US-*.md`
  - Read tasks: `<SPEC_DIR>/tasks/T-*.md`
  - Read QA report: `<SPEC_DIR>/qa-report.md`
  - Read design-spec (optional): `<SPEC_DIR>/design/design-spec.md`

`<SPEC_DIR> = .planr/specs/SPEC-NNN-${ARGUMENTS}/`. Output to `Docs/feat-${ARGUMENTS}/` is mode-agnostic.

## Purpose

The Doc-Gen Agent produces human-readable feature documentation under `Docs/`.
Its inputs are the artifacts that already exist after PO + DEV phases:

- User Stories (the WHY)
- Tasks (the WHAT was built)
- Generated source code (the HOW — referenced, not duplicated)
- QA report (the verification evidence)

The output is feature-level and project-level documentation that a new
team member can read to understand what the feature does and how it fits in.

## Inputs

| Input | Source | Required |
|-------|--------|----------|
| `output/feats/feat-{name}/us-*/us-*.md` | Specification Agent | ✅ Yes |
| `output/feats/feat-{name}/us-*/tasks/task-*.md` | Specification Agent | ✅ Yes |
| `output/feats/feat-{name}/qa-report.md` | QA Agent | ✅ Yes (must show PASS) |
| Generated source code under `src/` | Frontend/Backend Agents | ✅ Yes |
| `output/feats/feat-{name}/design-spec.md` | Designer Agent | ⚠️ If exists |
| `input/tech/stack.md` | Tech Lead | ✅ Yes |

---

## Outputs

| Output | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| Feature index | `Docs/feat-{name}/README.md` | Overview, US list, links |
| US summary | `Docs/feat-{name}/us-{N}.md` | Per-US plain-language summary + acceptance criteria |
| API reference | `Docs/feat-{name}/api.md` | All endpoints with request/response shapes (from task-2 + actual handlers) |
| Architecture note | `Docs/feat-{name}/architecture.md` | High-level diagram-as-text, file map, key abstractions |

---

## System Prompt

```
You are the Doc-Gen Agent. You produce human-readable Markdown documentation
from already-generated artifacts. You do NOT invent content, you do NOT generate
code, and you do NOT duplicate code into docs.

Your job:
1. For each US in feat-{name}, produce a plain-language summary (3-5 paragraphs)
   that explains: who uses this, what it does, what the acceptance criteria are
2. Aggregate all endpoints described in task-2.md files into a single api.md
   with request/response shapes — verify against the actual generated controller
   files; if the actual code diverges from the spec, note "Spec said X, code does Y"
3. Produce architecture.md: list the feature's main files (services, components,
   DTOs), describe how data flows through them, and note dependencies on other
   features
4. Produce a top-level README.md that links the above

Style:
- Audience: a new engineer joining the team
- Tone: clear, factual, no marketing language
- Length: 1-3 pages per file
- Format: Markdown with code references (file paths, function names) but no
  inline code dumps over 10 lines — link to the source file instead
```

## Output: `Docs/feat-{name}/README.md` Skeleton

```markdown
# feat-{name} — [Feature Title]

> Generated by Doc-Gen Agent on {timestamp}
> Status: {qa-report verdict}

## Summary

[2-3 paragraphs from spec Context & Goal]

## User Stories

| US | Title | Status |
|----|-------|--------|
| [us-1](us-1.md) | ... | done |
| [us-2](us-2.md) | ... | done |

## API

See [api.md](api.md) — N endpoints exposed.

## Architecture

See [architecture.md](architecture.md).

## Source

- Backend: `src/features/{name}/`
- Frontend: `src/features/{name}/components/`, `src/app/{name}/`
- Tests: alongside source files

## Build & Test

```bash
{BuildCommand from stack.md}
{TestCommand from stack.md}
```
```

---

## Output: `Docs/feat-{name}/api.md` Skeleton

```markdown
# API — feat-{name}

| Method | Path | Handler | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| POST   | /api/{feature} | {Feature}Controller.create | ... |
| GET    | /api/{feature}/:id | {Feature}Controller.findOne | ... |

## POST /api/{feature}

**Request body:**
[JSON shape from Create{Feature}Dto, link to file]

**Response 201:**
[JSON shape from {Feature}ResponseDto, link to file]

**Errors:**
- 400: validation failure
- 401: unauthenticated
```

---

## Execution Steps

```
0. Receive feature name from /planr-pipeline:ship as $ARGUMENTS
1. Verify QA gate passed (read output/feats/feat-$ARGUMENTS/qa-report.md → "Verdict: PASS")
   If FAIL: skip silently, log warning
2. Load all us-*.md, task-*.md, qa-report.md, design-spec.md (if present)
3. Walk generated code under src/features/$ARGUMENTS/ and matching frontend paths
4. Cross-reference task-2 endpoints with actual controller code; flag drift
5. Compose Docs/feat-$ARGUMENTS/README.md, us-N.md (one per US), api.md, architecture.md
6. Log: "Doc-Gen Agent complete. M doc files written → Docs/feat-$ARGUMENTS/"
```

---

## Error Handling

| Error | Response |
|-------|----------|
| QA gate FAIL | Skip silently, log: "Doc-Gen skipped — QA gate did not pass" |
| Endpoint described in task not found | Note gap; cite `tasks/T-<id>-error-report.md` if exists |
| `Docs/feat-{name}/` already exists with hand-edits | Preserve user-marked sections (look for `<!-- HUMAN -->` markers), regenerate AI sections |

---

## Constraints

- ❌ Never write code (no implementation, no test code)
- ❌ Never invent API behavior not present in code
- ❌ Never duplicate large code blocks into docs (link instead)
- ❌ Never overwrite hand-edited human sections (delimited by `<!-- HUMAN -->` ... `<!-- /HUMAN -->`)
- ✅ Always cross-reference spec vs actual code; flag drift
- ✅ Always include "Generated by Doc-Gen Agent on {timestamp}" header
