# 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?
