# Agent Docs Consistency

## Overview

Use this skill for structural consistency checks across AGENTS and `agent-docs`. It focuses on the document graph and authority model, not repository behavior.

## When to Use

- The user asks whether there are cycles
- The user asks for document depth or routing structure
- The user asks whether two docs both own the same rule
- The user asks whether a doc has become a secondary router or mixed-shape document

## Workflow

1. Read the root `AGENTS.md`.
2. Read the active child docs in scope.
3. Read `../agent-docs/references/consistency-checklist.md`.
4. Inspect:
   - root reachability
   - shortest routing depth
   - direct cycles and high-noise cross-links
   - duplicate authority candidates
   - out-degree hotspots
   - rule-doc vs inventory-doc shape mismatches
5. Distinguish:
   - blocking or high-noise structural problems
   - acceptable cross-references
6. Report the structural findings without drifting into repository implementation review. Use `agent-docs-repo-alignment` for repo-fact comparison.

## Output

- Reachability summary
- Cycle summary
- Duplicate-authority or shape findings
- Residual risk assessment
