+# Audit Checklist
+
+Use this checklist for read-only audits of `AGENTS.md` and `agent-docs/`.
+
+- Is the root `AGENTS.md` still the clear entrypoint?
+- Can a maintainer tell which document to read first for each common task?
+- Does any document act like a secondary router without enough reason?
+- Does each rule appear to have one authoritative home?
+- Does any inventory document contain policy language that should live in a rule doc?
+- Does any general-purpose agent-doc mix in project-specific business rules, product instructions, or end-user documentation?
+- Do key workflow docs state their edge cases and failure modes clearly enough that an agent would not have to infer them?
+- Are there residual cycles or cross-links that materially increase adherence cost?
+- Which findings are observed facts, and which are inferences about adherence risk?
+- If there are no concrete findings, what residual risks remain?

+# Child `agent-docs/` Template Chooser
+
+Use this reference when you know you are editing a Markdown file inside `agent-docs/`, but still need to decide which child template fits.
+
+## Choose The Smallest Matching Template
+
+- Use `rule-doc-template.md` for instructions, constraints, policy, decision criteria, or workflow guidance.
+- Use `inventory-doc-template.md` for maintained lists, registries, migration queues, or cleanup backlogs.
+- Split the document if one file tries to serve both purposes and the split would reduce ambiguity.
+
+## Quick Tests
+
+- If the document mainly tells maintainers what to do and what to avoid, use the rule template.
+- If the document mainly tracks entries that need to be updated over time, use the inventory template.
+- If the document has a long list of repeated entries under one governing policy, keep the policy brief and let the inventory structure carry the list.
+
+## Compatibility Note
+
+Older repositories may still refer to `references/child-doc-template.md` as the default child template. Keep this file as the entrypoint, but point new work to the specific template that matches the document's job.

+# Consistency Checklist
+
+Use this checklist for structural inspection of the AGENTS and `agent-docs` graph.
+
+- Is every active child document directly or indirectly reachable from the root?
+- What is the shortest routing depth for each child doc?
+- Are there direct cycles? If so, which ones are harmless and which ones are noisy?
+- Does any document have unusually high out-degree and behave like a secondary index?
+- Does any intermediate document only restate links without adding scope or decision logic?
+- Is any rule likely owned by more than one active document?
+- Does each document's actual shape still match its declared job: root, rule doc, or inventory?
+- Are there stale references to deleted or renamed docs?

+# Inventory `agent-docs/` Template
+
+Use this structure for Markdown files inside `agent-docs/` when the document's main job is to track a maintained set of entries: media plans, registries, migration queues, or cleanup lists.
+
+## Recommended Shape
+
+```md
+# <Document Title>
+
+<Opening statement: what this inventory tracks, when it should be used or updated, and that it must be followed in scope.>
+
+## Applies To
+
+- <tasks that require reading or updating this inventory>
+
+## Does Not Apply To
+
+- <tasks that belong in a rule doc, public docs, or another inventory>
+
+## Maintenance Rules
+
+- <how to add, update, remove, or rewrite entries>
+
+## Reclassification Rules
+
+- <when an entry changes status or grouping>
+- <when repeated notes should become policy in a rule doc>
+- <when this inventory should split or link to a narrower rule doc>
+
+## Entries
+
+### <Grouping Heading>
+
+#### <Entry Title>
+
+<Recommended fields; keep only the ones that materially help maintainers.>
+
+Source:
+- <path or owning document>
+
+Status:
+- <planned / in progress / complete / remove / optional>
+
+Notes:
+- <what to capture, why it matters, or what to clean up>
+
+## Maintenance Checklist
+
+- <questions for keeping the inventory current and unambiguous>
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Prefer an inventory template when the document is mostly a maintained list rather than a rules essay.
+- Start with a small field set. `Source`, `Status`, and `Notes` are common defaults, not mandatory fields.
+- Add, rename, or remove entry fields to match the repository's actual maintenance needs.
+- Keep entry fields stable enough within one document that maintainers can scan and update them consistently.
+- Use grouping headings only when they materially improve navigation.
+- Separate durable maintenance rules from the entries themselves.
+- If the governing policy becomes large, move it to a rule doc and link to it from the inventory.
+- Add `Reclassification Rules` when entry state changes or repeated review decisions would otherwise stay implicit.
+- Write for maintainers and make update decisions explicit.
+- If the document references repository files, write repository-relative paths in backticks, not Markdown links or machine-local absolute filesystem paths.

+# Linking Patterns
+
+## Preferred Patterns
+
+### Root -> Topic Docs
+
+Use when the repository has a small set of clearly separate instruction topics.
+
+```md
+# Required `agent-docs` Before Editing
+
+- Read and follow `agent-docs/topic-a.md` when ...
+- Read and follow `agent-docs/topic-b.md` when ...
+```
+
+### Root -> Project Doc -> Leaf Docs
+
+Use only when the intermediate layer reduces ambiguity or repeated cross-reference text.
+
+```md
+AGENTS.md
+  -> agent-docs/project-guidelines.md
+      -> agent-docs/topic-a.md
+      -> agent-docs/topic-b.md
+```
+
+### Root -> Subproject `agent-docs/`
+
+Use in monorepos when a subproject has its own scoped instruction set.
+
+```md
+AGENTS.md
+  -> apps/docs/agent-docs/project-guidelines.md
+  -> services/api/agent-docs/backend-guidelines.md
+```
+
+Common rules stay in the root `AGENTS.md`. Subproject-specific rules stay near the subproject they govern.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- Root file linking to every leaf doc in a large tree without grouping
+- Child docs that are never reachable from the root
+- Topic-specific rules stored in the root file without a reference reason
+- Extra index files that only restate links without adding scope or decision logic
+- Moving rules out of the root file without leaving an explicit reference to the new child file
+- Keeping monorepo-wide and subproject-specific constraints mixed together in the same root section when they can be separated cleanly
+
+## Explicit Reference Rule
+
+Parent documents should point to the child documents that refine them.
+
+If a child document exists and is active, there must be an explicit reference path from the root `AGENTS.md` to that document.
+
+The root `AGENTS.md` should list only the next `agent-docs` documents that are actually needed. Do not add unnecessary next-step links just for completeness.
+
+## Conflict Resolution Rule
+
+- More specific scope beats broader scope.
+- A child doc with explicit task scope beats a generic note in the root file.
+- A rule doc's behavior rule beats an inventory entry's shorthand wording.
+- If two active docs both read like authoritative owners for the same rule, do not improvise a priority. Treat it as duplicate authority and refactor the tree.
+- If two sibling docs are equally specific and both explicitly apply, do not break the tie by tone or wording. Report the ambiguity and refactor the tree.

+# Refactor Checklist
+
+Use this checklist after changing the root `AGENTS.md` or any file in `agent-docs/`.
+
+- Does each covered document own one clear topic?
+- Does each filename clearly express the document's purpose?
+- Does each opening explain purpose, trigger, and that the document must be followed in scope?
+- Is the root `AGENTS.md` still the starting point for required `agent-docs`?
+- Does every active `agent-docs/` file have an explicit path from the root?
+- Does each child doc use the right shape for its job: rule doc versus inventory doc?
+- Did you remove stale references, filenames, and replaced paths?
+- Did you delete or update any `agent-docs` file that is no longer referenced from the root `AGENTS.md`?
+- Did you avoid duplicating the same rule across multiple active docs?
+- Did you avoid mixing long entry inventories into rule docs when a separate inventory would be clearer?
+- Did you avoid adding an intermediate router or index doc that only repeats links?
+- If you split a doc, did the split reduce ambiguity, repetition, or maintenance cost?
+- If a document grew broader, did you check whether it now owns more than one real decision surface and should be split?
+- If a workflow is fragile or easy to misapply, did you add explicit edge cases or failure modes instead of hiding them in prose?
+- Is the default path basis still the root of the current Git working tree unless explicitly overridden?
+- Are repository-wide constraints still in the root file?
+- Are topic-specific constraints still in child docs?
+- Are project-specific rules still kept in project-specific documents rather than the general rules layer?
+- Did you avoid mixing general agent-doc governance with project-specific business rules or end-user documentation?
+- Do repository file references still use plain repository-relative paths in backticks rather than Markdown links or machine-local absolute paths?
+- Did you keep reference depth minimal?
+- Does the root still act like a route map instead of a topic dump?
+- If the repository has a validation command, did you run it?

+# Repo Alignment Checklist
+
+Use this checklist when comparing AGENTS or `agent-docs` against repository facts.
+
+- Which exact doc claims depend on repository reality?
+- Which repository files or commands provide the authoritative fact for each claim?
+- Do the rule docs expose enough authority or source-of-truth anchors that a maintainer can verify the claim without guessing?
+- Do scripts, ports, paths, or package names still match the docs?
+- Do the documented verification commands still match actual script behavior?
+- Do layering, contract-boundary, or runtime-topology claims still match code structure?
+- Which mismatches are must-fix drift versus wording cleanup?
+- Are the conclusions grounded in current files and command output rather than memory?

+# Root `AGENTS.md` Template
+
+Use this structure for the `AGENTS.md` at the root of the current Git working tree.
+
+## Recommended Shape
+
+```md
+# Root AGENTS.md
+
+- State that this file is the starting point for the repository's required `agent-docs`.
+- Define the default path basis.
+
+# Common Constraints
+
+- Keep repository-wide rules here.
+- Do not repeat topic-specific rules that belong in child docs.
+
+# Required `agent-docs` Before Editing
+
+- List the required `agent-docs` explicitly.
+- Use explicit "Read and follow ..." wording.
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Keep this file short.
+- Treat this file as an instruction document, not a passive index.
+- Reference child docs only when they are actually needed.
+- Write for maintainers and keep decisions explicit.
+- When referring to child docs, write repository-relative paths in backticks such as `agent-docs/example.md`, not Markdown links or machine-local absolute filesystem paths.
+- Do not turn the root file into a dump of all topic-specific rules.
+- If the root starts collecting multiple topic-specific rule blocks, split them into child docs and keep only the routing decision here.
+
+## Complexity Budget
+
+- Keep the root focused on three jobs only: entrypoint, repository-wide constraints, and next-step routing.
+- If a root section starts carrying topic-specific decision logic, move that logic to a child doc and leave only the routing cue behind.
+- Treat multiple topic-specific rule blocks in the root as a refactor trigger, not as a sign to keep extending the root file.

+- Add `Edge Cases` and `Failure Modes` when the workflow is easy to misapply or the scope boundary is easy to misunderstand.
+- Prefer linking to inventories, examples, or narrower child docs instead of embedding long registries inline.
