Document Indexer Skill

Purpose

Provide just-in-time context about available project documentation without loading full file content into the context window. The doc-indexer scans all markdown files in the docs/ directory, extracts their YAML frontmatter metadata, and returns a structured map of available documentation. This enables efficient discovery of specs, plans, retrospectives, and other documentation while minimizing token usage.

When to Use

Use this skill in the following situations:

• At the beginning of any work session to understand the current state of documentation
• When starting work on a new issue to identify relevant specs and context
• Before proposing changes to understand existing specifications
• When planning a sprint to review available approved specs
• Anytime you need an overview of project documentation without reading full files
