Owns where documentation lives: the root-file allowlist (README, CONTRIBUTING, USAGE, CODEOWNERS and the other GitHub and tooling files) and the docs/ taxonomy (architecture, adrs, rfcs, guides, reference, runbooks, plans) with templates for each kind. Scaffolds docs/ for a new repo, moves misplaced docs into it, and retires stale ones (finished plans, superseded decisions, duplicated upgrade notes). Use when creating docs/, adding an ADR, RFC, guide or runbook, asked to "clean up stale docs…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Documentation Layout This skill is the single owner of **where** a doc lives. Other skills link here instead of restating the layout. ## Root allowlist Only these files sit at the repo root. Everything else that is prose goes in `docs/`. | File | Why it is at root | |------|-------------------| | `README.md` | GitHub renders it on the repo page | | `CONTRIBUTING.md` | GitHub links it from issues and PRs | | `USAGE.md` | Optional. Long-form usage when it would swamp the README | | `CODEOWNERS` | GitHub reads it from root, `.github/` or `docs/`; keep it at root or `.github/` | | `LICENSE`, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, `SECURITY.md`, `SUPPORT.md` | GitHub community health files | | `NOTICE`, `LICENSING.md` | Legal files that `LICENSE` or package metadata names | | `CHANGELOG.md` | Written by the release tool (sr) | | `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md` | Read from root by AI tools (see `configure-ai`) | | `llms.txt` | Spec requires root (see `create-llms-txt`) | Also allowed outside `docs/`: - A `README.md` that explains its own directory (`examples/README.md`, `themes/README.md`). …

How to install
mdr add urmzd/dotfiles/scaffold-docs@sha256:f4df2d94121dfbc5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.73191d5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
