+See the website sourced in this repo for the best overview of DocOps Lab and its projects: link:{docopslab_www_base_url}[docopslab.org].
+
+
+[[repository]]
+== This Repository
+
+This codebase (`DocOps/lab`) contains the Jekyll-based website for DocOps Lab, served at {docopslab_www_base_url}[docopslab.org].
+
+It also contains assets that are common across multiple DocOps Lab projects.
+That includes documentation, which is part of the docopslab.org site (see `_docs/`).
+It also includes the `docopslab-dev` Ruby gem, which is used for running common development and quality-assurance (QA) tasks (see link:{this_repo_url}/blob/main/gems/docopslab-dev/README.adoc[`gems/docopslab-dev/`]).
+
+[[generated-artifacts]]
+=== Generated Artifacts
+
+Aside from the docopslab.org website, which will take up most of this README, this repository also generates:
+
+* a Vale styles package (`DocOpsLabStyles.zip`) that incorporates custom styles and upstream packages
+* the `docopslab-dev` Ruby gem package
+* the `docopslab/dev` Docker image
+* the `agent/docs/` library of Markdown files generated from link:link:{this_repo_url}/blob/main/gems/docopslab-dev/docs/agent/[AsciiDoc sources]
+
+[[the-site]]
+=== The Site
+
+The site has a link:{docopslab_www_base_url}[landing page] which leads mainly to a showcasing of link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/projects/[*DocOps Lab projects*] with a modern, professional interface featuring project cards, dependency visualization, and custom DocOps-themed icons.
+
+It also includes link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/docs/[*technical documentation*] that is common across projects, as well as a link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/blog/[*blog*] for updates and topical writings.
+
+[[blog-versioning]]
+==== Blog Versioning
+
+This site hosts _two_ blogs: the link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/blog[DocOps Lab Blog] and the link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/metablog[DocOps Lab MetaBlog].
+
+Each blog post tracks its own version in the `:page-version:` attribute.
+The version follows link:https://semver.org[Semantic Versioning], with a `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` structure.
+
+A version bump is required whenever the rendered content of the post changes, whether through direct edits to the post file or through modifications to any AsciiDoc includes used by that post, _if those changes affect the post content_.
+
+Includes do not carry their own versions; the post's version is the sole authority.
+Version numbers should change even for small mechanical edits so that the version always reflects the current state of the published text.
+
+MAJOR::
+Substantial reframing or rewriting.
+Prior understanding may no longer apply.
+
+MINOR::
+Additive content or clarifications that do not contradict earlier versions.
+
+PATCH::
+Typos, grammar cleanup, mechanical style adjustments, or any small textual edits.
+
+Mere changes of style or layout do _not_ cause version bumps.
+
+[[repository-structure]]
+=== Repository Structure
+
+This repository uses a *dual-branch deployment* for GitHub Pages publishing.
+
+We'll talk about major source/output branches, then explore the deployment flow and broader ecosystem.
+
+[[main-branch-main]]
+==== Main Branch (`main`)
+
+Contains all source files:
+
+* Jekyll source files (`_layouts/`, `_includes/`, `_sass/`, etc.)
+* Content collections (`_blog/`, `_docs/`, `_projects/`)
+* Project data (`_data/docops-lab-projects.yml`)
+* Configuration files (`_config.yml`, `Gemfile`)
+* Build automation (`Rakefile`)
+* Slides content (`slides/`)
+* Jekyll plugins (`_plugins/`)
+* Site assets (SCSS, JS, images)
+* Common task scripts (`scripts/`)
+* Ruby-based ops tooling and libraries as sub-projects (`gems/`)
+* Specification and definition files (`specs/`, for this repo)
+
+[[branch-gh-pages]]
+==== GitHub Pages Branch (`gh-pages`)
+
+Contains only the built website files:
+
+* Static HTML, CSS, JS files (from Jekyll build output)
+* Preserved `slides/` directory with existing presentation content
+* Minimal `.gitignore` for deployment scope
+
+[[artifact-deployment]]
+==== Artifact Deployment
+
+Non-website artifacts are published via other means.
+
+* Vale styles package (`DocOpsLabStyles.zip`): link:{this_repo_base_url}/blob/main/artifacts/vale/DocOpsLabStyles.zip[GitHub repo assets]
+* `docopslab-dev` Ruby gem: link:https://rubygems.org/gems/docopslab-dev[Rubygems.org]
+* `docopslab/dev` Docker image: link:https://hub.docker.com/r/docopslab/dev[Docker Hub]
+* Agent docs library: link:{this_repo_base_url}/blob/agent-docs/agent/docs/[`agent/docs/` on `agent-docs` branch]
+
+[[docops-lab-docs-sites]]
+=== DocOps Lab Docs Sites
+// tag::docops-lab-docs-sites[]
+Most DocOps Lab projects have their own documentation sites, also built with Jekyll and AsciiDoc, often including YARD for Ruby API reference generation.
+
+For less-formalized projects, documentation is restricted to `README.adoc` and other `*.adoc` files.
+These are hosted as GitHub Pages sites from their respective repositories, but using a consistent URL structure centered on the `docopslab.org` domain hosted here.
+
+The URL structure is as follows:
+
+Project landing page:: `https://.docopslab.org/`
++
+At a minimum, this should be a subset of the `README.adoc` file.
+
+Product user docs:: `https://.docopslab.org/docs/`
+
+Product developer docs::
+`+++https://.docopslab.org/docs/api/(/)+++`
++
+The final `` directory is only applicable when the product contains multiple distinct APIs.
+
+GH Pages configuration for these sites enables deployment by way of a clean `gh-pages` branch containing only generated documentation artifacts and the `CNAME` file.
+
+// end::docops-lab-docs-sites[]
+

+[[building-the-docopslab-dev-gem]]
+==== Building the `docopslab-dev` Gem
+
+The `docopslab-dev` gem is developed within this monorepo at `gems/docopslab-dev/`.
+
+There are several Rake tasks devoted to managing this sub-project and its artifacts, all under the `gemdo:` task namespace.
+
+[.prompt]

+
+.Generate the docopslab-dev gem
+[.prompt]
+ bundle exec rake gemdo:build_gem
+
+[[agent-documentation-generation]]
+===== Agent Documentation Generation
+
+Before building the gem, agent documentation must be generated from AsciiDoc sources:
+
+.Generate agent documentation
+[.prompt]
+ bundle exec rake gemdo:generate_agent_docs
+
+This task performs the following:
+
+. Builds the Jekyll site (if not already built)
+. Converts `_docs/agent/*.adoc` → HTML → Markdown
+. Processes `_docs/templates/AGENTS.markdown` (strips Jekyll frontmatter)
+. Writes all generated docs to `gems/docopslab-dev/docs/`
+** `docs/agent/AGENTS.md` - Template for target projects
+** `docs/agent/*.md` - Agent instruction guides
+
+[NOTE]
+[[]]
+====
+Generated documentation files are *git-ignored* as they are built artifacts.
+They are packaged with the gem during the build process.
+[[]]
+====
+
+[[full-devlab-rake-testing]]

+
+[[site-features]]
+=== Site Features
+
+[[project-showcase]]
+==== Project Showcase
+
+* *Vertical project profiles* with hover-to-expand descriptions
+* *Custom DocOps icons* integrated with Lucide icon system
+* *Dependency visualization* with hover popovers
+* *Project filtering* by type and development wave
+
+[[technical-implementation]]
+==== Technical Implementation
+
+* *Jekyll 4.3.4* with AsciiDoc support
+* *SCSS/CSS custom properties* for theming
+* *Responsive design* with 70% max-width layout
+* *Custom Lucide icon integration* via JavaScript
+* *YAML-driven content* from `_data/docops-lab-projects.yml`
+
+[[jekyll-asciidoc]]
+==== Jekyll/AsciiDoc
+
+The lab site uses Jekyll 4 with AsciiDoc support via the `jekyll-asciidoc` plugin.
+It does _not yet_ use the link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/projects#jekyll-asciidoc-ui[jekyll-asciidoc-ui] or link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/projects/#jekyll-asciidoc-ext[jekyll-asciidoc-ext] plugins, which are still on the DocOps Lab roadmap.
+
+This site is intentionally a relatively bare-bones Jekyll-AsciiDoc implementation with NO CUSTOM FILTERS and NO CUSTOM TAGS and most Jekyll framework conventions/defaults maintained.
+
+It does, however, add a module for `XrefAttrs`, which is a candidate module for jekyll-asciidoc-ext.
+
+It also has front-end customization, again independent of jekyll-asciidoc-ui.
+
+[[custom-plugin-xref-attributes]]
+===== Custom Plugin: `xref_attributes`
+
+This plugin makes AsciiDoc cross-references available as AsciiDoc attributes when AsciiDoc files are converted.
+
+The format is `{xref___url}` and `{xref___title}`.
+
+For example: `{xref_docs_infrastructure_url}` to render `/docs/infrastructure/`.
+
+Use `{xref___link}` as a shortcode for the entire link element.
+

+=== Data Structure
+
+The site is driven by `_data/docops-lab-projects.yml`, which contains:
+
+* *Project definitions* with metadata, descriptions, dependencies
+* *Type classifications* (content, environment, framework, etc.)
+* *Development waves* with release timelines
+* *Custom icon assignments* for DocOps-specific projects
+
+[[icon-system]]
+=== Icon System
+
+The site uses a hybrid icon approach:
+
+Standard icons:: Lucide icons via CDN
+
+Custom icons::
+SVG definitions for DocOps-specific concepts
+
+[[domain-configuration]]
+=== Domain Configuration
+
+[horizontal]

+
+
+[[contributing]]
+== Contributing
+
+Contributions to this repository are welcome, but in this case especially, it makes sense to be in touch or involved with DocOps Lab before offering significant changes or additions.
+
+[[making-changes]]
+=== Making Changes
+
+The current one-contributor workflow is as follows:
+
+. Work on a `main` branch.
+
+. Edit source files in `_layouts/`, `_includes/`, `_sass/`, etc.
+
+. Update project data in `_data/docops-lab-projects.yml`.
+
+. Test locally with `rake serve`.
+
+. Deploy with `rake deploy_safe` → review → `rake commit_deploy` → `rake push_deploy`.
+
+This workflow will change once other organization members are actively working on the `lab` repository.
+
+[[registering-projects]]
+=== Registering Projects

+= DocOps Lab Licensing and Usage
+
+Let's talk about permissively licensed software and how it is best used and managed downstream.
+
+Most people -- including software developers -- interact with most software as _consumers_ or _end users_.
+Nevertheless, open source software often seems to be packaged _for_ other developers.
+
+This is a guide for new developers or non-devs who need to incorporate FOSS (free open source software) into their own projects.
+
+____
+This blog entry is meant to help demystify the world of runtime-based open source software.
+It is meant to empower rather than intimidate, just like the best open source software does.
+____
+
+DocOps Lab software is typically released in both source code and binary/packaged forms, for users' convenience.
+
+The *code* is released on an interactive platform (link:{docopslab_hub_url}[GitHub]) so you can investigate it, extend it, or help fix and improve it.
+
+The *binaries and packages* are released so you can install and execute it without including the source code in your own projects.
+This way even if you share your project as open source, any open source software it uses unmodified can be referenced as a dependency rather than packaged in your codebase.
+
+Likewise, DocOps Labs' *documentation* is similarly shared as both source code and rendered HTML/PDF, also under these exact same conditions.
+Use it as you wish, help improve it, even re-brand it -- the only requirement is maintaining the "`upstream`" chain of attribution.
+We mainly care about this for accountability, not credit (which we don't care about) or control (which we fully relinquish).
+
+Our licensing says you can use it however you want, but if you re-share the code, it must remain under the same license and be attributed to DocOps Lab.
+
+Note that you do NOT have to share it or changes you make to it, and also note that we do not really care if you keep the attribution or not, whether you release a modified version or not.
+We just want to make it easy for you to use our tools, and we want to be able to point to a common codebase that we can all work on together (or not).
+
+
+[[how-to-use-docops-lab-software]]
+== How to Use DocOps Lab Software
+
+If you want to use our software, there is a near certainty that it will not "`just work`", so to speak, "`out of the box`", so to speak.
+
+[[modified-vs-packaged]]
+=== Modified vs Packaged
+
+There are a few ways to take advantage of DocOps Lab software and content.
+
+The most common way would be as a compiled-and-packaged dependency in your own project, perhaps as a Ruby gem a Docker image.
+This way, you do not need to fuss over licensing at all.
+
+If you do want to modify the code, you can fork it and make changes, then use your own modified version as a dependency in your own project.
+You do not need to re-share or contribute back your changes.
+
+Modified code can be used in many ways as well, including copied and pasted snippets, or even just as inspiration for your own code.
+But of course you can also make a wholesale copy, modify it, and rebuild and package it for yourself, then cite that dependency in your `Gemfile` or `Dockerfile`.
+
+The goal of any open source project should be a balance between extensibility and configurability.
+Most users needing to customize should be able to do so by tweaking powerful settings or an application programming interface (API) or a domain-specific language (DSL) without needing to modify the project's source code.
+
+Yet for users with extraordinary needs, or perhaps after the project has been abandoned, the ability to fork and modify the code is essential.
+
+However, source code modification is not the topic of the day.
+In fact, it's the opposite.
+We are going to review all the ways the kinds of "`runtime tools`" we use most in docs-as-code platforms can be modified and used _without_ touching their source code.

+There are many ways to interact with and amend the behavior of software before you should ever consider hacking the source.
+True programmers do their best to _avoid_ modifying the source code of products they wish to _use_ but not to _maintain_.
+
+[[clis]]
+=== CLIs
+
+Command-line interfaces can be run from any UNIX-like shell environment and manipulated with arguments, options, flags, and environment variables.
+This is likely the fastest way to leverage any DocOps Lab tools.
+
+CLI commands can be scripted.
+You can string them together, run them conditionally, run them in loops, and so forth.
+Commands are simply instructions, and instructions can be concatenated into scripts.
+
+The output can be piped to other commands for further processing.
+
+CLIs can be used in combination with configuration, domain-specific languages, and extensions.
+
+[[apis]]
+=== APIs
+
+There are two broad categories of APIs: native and remote.
+
+Native APIs are libraries or modules designed to be used in a given programming environment, such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or in our case mostly Ruby.
+
+Most people in tech are more familiar with remote APIs, specifically RESTful APIs, but also GraphQL, SOAP, and other kinds.
+
+In both cases, an API is a system that awaits input in an expected format and returns output in a documented format -- usually some kind of data structure.
+In the case of remote APIs, the output is typically JSON delivered over HTTP.
+
+[[configs]]
+=== Configs
+
+Most command-line tools can be configured with local files that stablish a baseline of settings and behaviors.
+Configuration files, or "`configs`" , are a kind of interface, though they tend to be application-specific in structure, syntax, and nomenclature.
+
+DocOps Lab prefers YAML-formatted configuration files, but sometimes we use INI format.
+
+Configs are constrained by whatever the product's developers predicted users would want to do.
+It often means establishing persistent preferences for the types of things CLIs and APIs allow you to indicate at runtime using arguments.
+
+Good Configs are well documented, but truthfully configuration docs often get de-emphasized, especially in open source projects.
+
+[[dsls]]
+=== DSLs
+
+Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are mini programming syntaxes designed to express concepts in a particular domain, usually with modest scope.
+
+DSLs can be their very own syntax, or they can use an existing syntax like YAML or XML in a predefined manner, expecting particular keys with a given range of values to script or configure user-defined outcomes for a given set of inputs.
+
+Examples of DSLs you might be familiar with include:
+
+* GitHub Actions workflow files
+* Kubernetes manifests
+* Dockerfiles
+* SCSS/SASS and LESS for CSS pre-processing
+
+DocOps Lab prefers to use YAML-based DSLs wherever possible, as they are easy to read and write, and widely supported.
+
+[[templates]]
+=== Templates
+
+Templates are a kind of DSL that define how input textual and variable data is to be transformed into output content.
+
+Templates use a syntax that is interpreted by a rendering engine.
+This engine accepts data from an outside source (YAML or JSON or a relational database) and merges it into the template structure to produce predictable output.
+
+Templates are often used in DocOps Lab projects to generate HTML, Markdown, AsciiDoc, YAML, or other text-based formats.
+
+DocOps Lab prefers Liquid templates and uses an extended version of Jekyll's Liquid 4 engine.
+
+[[extensions-plugins]]
+=== Extensions/Plugins
+
+Forward-thinking developers instill their software with "`hooks`" so that downstream devs can extend the product's behavior using its native source syntax or a DSL.
+
+While some DSLs and templating systems are used to perform tasks the product developer predicted most users would need, extensions are for needs the developer did not anticipate or has not yet implemented.
+
+Extensions are often packaged as plugins or modules that can be installed alongside the main product.
+Developers themselves often provide plugins for optional features that might not be optimal as a built-in aspect of the core product.
+
+Other times, plugins are created by third-party developers to add functionality the original developers did not envision.
+These "`community extensions`" sometimes get merged into the official product.
+
+Any user can develop an extension and _not_ share it.
+This is common for extensions that solve an internal use case but are not designed for public consumption.
+A local extension can even include hard-coded data or proprietary logic that would not be appropriate for open source sharing.
+
+
+[[licensing-choices-and-implications]]
+== Licensing Choices and Implications
+
+In some ways, the distinctions between open source licenses do not matter very much.
+If you just want to use some FOSS utility or another, even for professional or commercial purposes, most licenses will allow you to do so with no strings attached.
+
+Licensing starts to matter when you want to package or copy source code into your own projects, especially if you intend to share your own project as open source.
+
+[[why-licenses]]
+=== Why Licenses?
+
+Software you intend to share needs a license.
+What many people misunderstand is that unlicensed software you find on GitHub or elsewhere is still copyrighted, and you technically are _NOT_ supposed to reuse it in your own projects.
+
+Truthfully, a lot of shared code just happens to be lacking a license out of neglect, and it's fine for you to reuse.
+
+Most of the engineering shops I've worked at disallow incorporating unlicensed code even if the developer obviously intended to share it.
+You can always post an Issue on a project's GitHub repo to ask the author to add a permissive license.
+
+So we have to have a license to make it clear our code is freely copyable and reusable.
+
+[[why-mit]]
+=== Why MIT?
+
+By some stroke of coincidence or culture or convention, nearly everything in our particular toolchain (meaning the applications we use to develop our own) is link:https://opensource.org/license/mit[MIT licensed], so it makes sense to use the same license for our own code.
+
+MIT License totally permissive; it should not trouble anyone's manager or CTO or Legal Department, and that's that.
+
+There are lots of other considerations deep thinkers fuss over, but I have not found time to care much about the nuance politics of FOSS licensing.
+
+MIT works.
+link:https://opensource.org/license/apache-2-0[Apache] works.
+link:https://opensource.org/license/bsd-2-clause[BSD] works.
+Knock yourself out.
+
+[[why-cc-by-4-0]]
+=== Why CC BY 4.0?
+
+We release some extra documentation like websites and educational materials under link:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en[Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)] because it is similarly permissive like MIT and widely understood, and because we quite like CC and their efforts in the world of knowledge sharing.
+
+CC BY indicates a requirement to note what changes are made if you redistribute the so-licensed content, so for stuff like Docs-as-Code School or this the main link:{docopslab_www_base_url}[DocOpsLab.org] website.
+
+[[what-does-all-this-mean]]
+=== What Does All This Mean?
+
+In practical terms, you can use DocOps Lab software and documentation in your own projects, whether personal or commercial, without worrying about licensing fees or restrictions.
+You can modify it, adapt it, and even redistribute it, and we don't even care about credit, so long as you leave some trail back to the source.
+
+The only real requirement is that if you do redistribute the _source code_ itself, it must remain under the same license.

+= Building Docs for AI Agents from Single-Sourced Content
+include::../README.adoc[tags=globals]
+
+I build alternate versions of my developer documentation, specially for consumption by LLM-backed coding agents.
+
+These documents begin life as AsciiDoc files oriented toward human users, but I selectively transclude content into AI-specific documentation files.
+Then the files are converted to Markdown (via HTML) for better compatibility with LLMs.
+
+I then use a tool that lets me sync those agent-oriented docs from a central source into all my code repositories.
+This way any LLM agents have ready access to a library of specific skills or protocols they may be called upon to use, without overwhelming them with entire sets of remote, HTML-laden documents in every session.
+
+If this sounds convoluted, hear me out.
+
+
+[[source-content]]
+== Source Content
+
+The source content for my AI-agent-oriented docs lives in the same AsciiDoc files I use for human developer documentation.
+
+In my experience, LLMs are more adept at consuming examples and bulleted lists, and they prefer these in Markdown format with some HTML tags.
+
+However, complex tech docs are best authored in a structured format like AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, DITA, or MadCap Flare.
+For me, this means authoring in AsciiDoc, converting to HTML, and then reverting to Markdown.
+
+.Why not just write the AI docs in Markdown?
+****
+If all your docs are already sourced in pure Markdown of one flavor or another, you have a head start in this process.
+You can basically just show the source files to your LLM agent... so long as your docs do not need to be assembled.
+
+But for structured authoring with strict single sourcing and transclusion, source files are incomplete until they are rendered to another format.
+
+Assuming you wish to source your AI-agent docs along with people docs, you will probably want to render each document, and you further want to slim down your docs.
+
+Most advanced static-site generators (SSGs) and doc generators can render complex docs from Markdown-like sources, but conditional transclusion usually requires mixing in preprocessor templates.
+Whereas formats like AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, DITA, and Flare support this feature natively.
+
+And because we love AsciiDoc at DocOps Lab, we're usually going to find a way to avoid actually having to author in (or even read) Markdown.
+****
+
+Assuming you want to selectively include content for AI agents, use AsciiDoc tagging to indicate sections or blocks to include or exclude.
+
+For example, my original, people-focused documentation on how to interact with Git does not assume much prior knowledge of Git commands.
+Whereas LLMs definitely know how to use Git; they are basically experts.
+So all I need to convey is the specific procedures preferred for DocOps Lab projects.
+
+Here is how I tag the relevant content in my AsciiDoc source files:
+
+.Original AsciiDoc source snippet
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+// tag::repo-state[]
+include::../_docs/task/development.adoc[tags="repo-state"]
+// end::repo-state[]
+--------
+
+From there it is just a matter of creating a set of AsciiDoc files that use the `include::` directive to pull in the tagged content.
+This way I can skip verbose introductory or beginner-oriented content that is unnecessary for LLMs.
+
+.Using include directive to embed single-sourced content
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+include::../_docs/agent/skills/git.adoc[tags=basics-snippet]
+
+\include::../task/development.adoc[tag=repo-state]
+--------
+
+
+[[generating-ai-agent-docs]]
+== Generating AI-Agent Docs
+
+The best way to get Markdown from AsciiDoc files is to perform an HTML conversion and then downgrade to Markdown.
+
+There are numerous tools for carrying this latter step, not the least of them the link:https://pandoc.org[beloved Pandoc].
+I have modified a Ruby library called link:https://github.com/xijo/reverse_markdown[ReverseMarkdown] to accommodate AsciiDoc's richer semantics.
+My extension is available as link:{this_repo_base_url}/blob/main/scripts/mark_down_grade.rb[`scripts/mark_down_grade.rb`] in this very repo.
+
+Here I include a window into the current state of one such document (link:{this_repo_base_url}/blob/main/gems/docopslab-dev/docs/agent/skills/git.md[source], link:{docopslab_www_base_url}/docs/agent/git[rendered]), which may change over time as I refine the AI-agent docs:
+
+[source,markdown]
+--------
+include::../gems/docopslab-dev/docs/agent/skills/git.md[]
+--------
+
+I am quite happy with the twice-converted Markdown output.
+Having spent a decade publishing AsciiDoc to HTML and PDF, this experience of publishing to Markdown has been fun.
+
+
+[[distribution]]
+== Distribution
+
+This is the extra-credit section of the blog entry.
+It only pertains to organizations or projects that maintain multiple repos or authors who need to lint textual content across multiple projects with a single voice.
+
+This matter of AI-oriented docs came about as a side effect of my need to centrally maintain a series of helper utilities like code and text linters backed by customizable libraries.
+
+In order to make sure all of my many concurrent projects have access to the latest customizations and configurations of the tools they all depend on, I built a common dependency across all my repos, just for managing these shared assets.
+
+The specifics of this tool are not all that important; I will leave them for a separate post.
+The trick is to use whatever resources are available to you to ensure your docs and helper tooling are consistent across your team and accessible to all AI agents.
+
+Once you have a library of topical documents for your AI agents to use, make sure they are aware of them by indicating their location in your project's link:https://agents.md[`AGENTS.md`] or link:https://claudecode.io/tutorials/claude-md-setup[`CLAUDE.md`] file.

+= TRUE Single Sourcing with YAML and AsciiDoc
+
+{page-excerpt}
+
+This approach conveys more advantages than you might think at first gloss, including *testability* and *cooperative design* through Git-tracked specification and definition.
+
+My method is to use AsciiDoc `README.adoc` and YAML files to assign all kinds of key product data, including structured data for interface definition and reference documentation.
+
+This post is a doozie, so let's TOC it out.
+
+toc::[]
+
+
+[[the-example-of-openapi]]
+== The Example of OpenAPI
+
+There are few universally known technologies across all of programming and software technical writing, but one of them is OpenAPI Specification (OAS), a standardized data format used to "`describe`" or "`define`" server application interfaces that honor the standard RESTful HTTP architecture and protocol.
+
+That is, one "`language`" can be used to detail _just about_ everything anyone would need to know about how a given REST API is supposed to work, at least in terms of what endpoints do what with a given set of data and a given method (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE).
+
+OAS is a great example of a "`true single source of truth`" (TSST) when used to _define_ the API itself as well as the documentation downstream developers use to make informed connections to the API.
+
+// tag::pullquote[]
+[.pullquote]
+____
+xref:why-stop-there[{more-than-rest}]
+____
+// end::pullquote[]
+
+If you're having trouble recalling just what OpenAPI code looks like, here's a simple example:
+
+.OpenAPI Example
+[source,yaml]
+----
+openapi: 3.1.0
+info:
+ title: Sample API
+ description: A simple API to illustrate OpenAPI concepts
+ version: '2'
+servers:
+ - url: https://api.example.com/v1
+paths:
+ /items:
+ get:
+ summary: Retrieve a list of items
+ responses:
+ '200':
+ description: A JSON array of items
+ content:
+ application/json:
+ schema:
+ type: array
+ items:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ id:
+ type: integer
+ name:
+ type: string
+ score:
+ type: integer
+ post:
+ summary: Create a new item
+ requestBody:
+ required: true
+ content:
+ application/json:
+ schema:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ name:
+ type: string
+ score:
+ type: integer
+----
+
+This code defines two operations on one endpoint of a hypothetical API, but it should serve to illustrate.
+
+At its best, OpenAPI is a _YAML data format_ that can be used to generate documentation, client libraries, server stubs, and more.
+At the very least, it can be used as an authoritative reference for API development and testing.
+
+In fact, non-developers, such as _technical writers_ and _product managers_, can use or even _contribute to_ an OpenAPI document (OAD).
+The RESTful interface architecture is relatively simple, and anyone who comes to understand it can help design and define such an API using OAS.
+There is no reason at all to leave this to developers, though they may have critical feedback during the planning or implementation stages.
+
+
+[[why-stop-there]]
+== Why Stop There?
+
+{more-than-rest}
+
+Full-stack application development involves much more "`coding`" than most would consider actual "`programming`".
+Consider _interface design_ and _database design_, for instance.
+Both are best done in code, but neither is really _programming_, per se.
+
+Now, I have admittedly never seen a non-developer design a database schema, but I can readily imagine savvy technical writers and product managers creating sensible YAML documents to convey structured data when a relational database would be overkill.
+And I certainly _have_ seen non-developers contribute to REST API design via OAS.
+
+So that _non-programming coding_ category certainly includes editing YAML files, and I would imagine it even includes _templating_ languages such as Jinja, Liquid, and Handlebars.
+These can involve data processing and logic, but they are relatively simple and purpose-built for _text transformation_.
+
+Liquid was specifically designed for non-developers, and generative-AI coding tools are adept at writing templates in nearly all popular syntaxes.
+This means those savvy non-programmers can help author data files _and_ help turn them into good, auto-generated reference documentation.
+
+This non-programmer involvement is but one of the key advantages of stepping away from "`native`" (Python, Java, Rust, Javascript, Ruby, Golang, etc) programming code and into a truly cross-language, human-writeable data format like YAML.
+
+[NOTE]
+While YAML is second only to JSON and XML in terms of current popularity, it is wildly more user- and Git-friendly than the leading formats.
+Meanwhile, YAML-like formats such as TOML, CSON, HJSON are lesser known alternatives.
+
+[[interface-types]]
+=== About Those Other Interface Types
+
+It turns out YAML is a terrific format for all kinds of interface _definition_ coding.
+
+It can be used for defining YAML/JSON *configuration files*.
+It can be used to define *command-line interfaces* (CLIs), *HTML forms*, *file/directory structures*, and much more, always allowing for extensive auxiliary metadata for each element so defined, whether it be a REST API endpoint or a form input field.
+
+Here is an example of how I use YAML to define YAML-formatted configuration files for my Ruby applications:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+properties:
+ log_level:
+ type: String
+ desc: The logging level for the application.
+ dflt: info
+ opts: [debug, info, warn, error, fatal]
+ output_format:
+ type: String
+ desc: The format for output data.
+ opts: [json, yaml, xml]
+ dflt: json
+ max_retries:
+ type: Integer
+ desc: The maximum number of retry attempts for failed operations.
+ span: '0..5'
+ dflt: 3
+----
+
+This definition supports some automated validation, and it allows me to generate documentation directly from this very source.
+
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+include::../assets/snippets/config-sample.adoc[]

+
+[[the-advantages-of-yaml-based-tsst]]
+=== The Advantages of YAML-based TSST
+
+So what are the key advantages of using YAML-based TSST?
+
+[.cards]
+--
+* *Enables truly cooperative design and definition.*
+Non-programmers can contribute to the design and definition of interfaces, data structures, and more.
+
+* *Sources documentation right where the interface is defined.*
+Developers are used to this for REST and native APIs, though the latter is usually (sensibly) handled in the language's official or dominant "`inline`" format.
+For less language-specific interfaces, YAML is a great way to define the interface and its documentation in one place.
+
+* *Informs automated testing.*
+Integration tests can ingest YAML definition data to test against a single data source maintained by all stakeholders.
+--
+
+For these reasons, YAML is my go-to source format for defining nearly all interfaces, as I will explore in this blog in future posts.
+
+
+[[single-source-readme]]
+== Single Sourcing in +++`+++README.adoc+++`+++
+
+The other place I love to define global application data is in the root `README.adoc` file of the project.
+Only data that appears in the README is optimally stored here, since YAML is a more flexible and precise data-serialization format.
+
+But user-defined AsciiDoc attributes are a great way to ensure that ALL documentation and even the product itself are deriving data from the same single source.
+
+For example, all of my Ruby APIs and CLIs derive their canonical version number from an attribute in the `README.adoc` file.
+It's called `this_prod_vrsn`, and I can express it anywhere in the documentation as `\{this_prod_vrsn}`, as well as ingest it into the product at build time.
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+require 'asciidoctor'
+doc = Asciidoctor.load_file('README.adoc', safe: :safe)
+ATTRS = doc.attributes
+VERSION = ATTRS['this_prod_vrsn']
+----
+
+AsciiDoc attributes unfortunately do not support nested data structures or even Arrays, but they are sufficient for core data such as default values, general product data, and anything else you might wish to report in your README itself as well as throughout the product and user documentation.
+
+One big advantage of AsciiDoc attributes is that they are inheritable like native variables.
+
+[source,asciidoc,subs="none"]

+:product_base_url: https://example.org
+:product_api_url: {product_base_url}/api
+----
+
+
+[[generating-docs-with-templating-engines]]
+== Generating Docs with Templating Engines
+
+You may have been wondering how our YAML data turned into AsciiDoc source code in the <>.
+
+The trick is a templating processor, such as those that parse syntaxes like Liquid and render textual output from the input data provided.
+
+[source,twig]
+----
+{% for property in properties %}
+property[0]::
+{{ property[1].desc }}
+[horizontal]
+Default::: `{{ property[1].dflt }}`
+{% if property[1].opts %}
+Options::: {% for opt in property[1].opts %}`{{ opt }}`{% unless forloop.last %}, {% endunless %}{% endfor %}
+{% endif %}
+{% if property[1].span %}
+Range::: `{{ property[1].span | replace:".." , "-" }}`
+{% endif %}
+{% endfor %}
+----
+
+That is all the markup that is required to generate the AsciiDoc source code shown earlier, which I'll repeat here again for convenience.
+
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+include::../assets/snippets/config-sample.adoc[]
+----
+
+
+[[truth-and-purism]]
+== Truth and Purism
+
+It's a funny coincidence that "`TSST`" reads and sounds like a scolding.
+The very concept is strict and somewhat cold, I have to admit.
+
+It is unwise to be a "`purist`" about nearly anything, especially in software development, so of course there may be exceptions where an instance of product datum has to be defined twice.
+
+But it is a great principle to aim for, as it offers true benefits along the design -> definition -> documentation -> validation pipeline.

+= Why DocOps Lab Chooses GitHub over GitLab
+
+I quite like GitLab for a number of reasons, but before I ever knew it existed, I was already deeply embedded in GitHub's ecosystem.
+The *TL;DR* of this blog post is that GitHub's network effects and ubiquity outweigh GitLab's technical advantages for my own open source projects.
+
+I was not particularly bothered by Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, despite a general bias against Microsoft for political and technical reasons.
+At that time, it did not seem like MS was particularly interested in changing GitHub's culture or direction, and MS being more invested in open source was a welcome development.
+
+But the recent immersion of GitHub into MS's AI division, with GH no longer having a CEO or even the pretense of independence, I find myself wishing I was rooted on another platform.
+
+For this reason, I had a stop-and-think about this subject before I released a new bunch of codebases on the platform.
+I gave it enough serious thought and did enough research to feel like it makes a nice, short blog post that maybe nobody should be particularly influenced by.
+
+
+[[the-comparison]]
+== The Comparison
+
+There are a lot of "`content marketing`" articles out there that claim to help you decide for your own case.
+*This article is not one of those.*
+I never know how much of those articles is sponsored content or SEO gaming or just AI slop that may or may not be true.
+
+Really I am just documenting my own decision for accountability.
+
+My decision took into account a peculiar use case: different (non-developer) audience, strong technological opinions, and a need to grow a community around the work.
+
+My own research involved a marathon ChatGPT 5 session evaluating numerous aspects of the two platforms.
+
+Here is a table ChatGPT made to represent the assessment that I led it to through interrogation and testing of its assessments.
+
+[cols="3s,3,3,1a",options="header"]
+|===
+| Criterion | GitHub | GitLab | Win
+
+| Account friction
+| Ubiquitous accounts
+| New signup needed
+| {github-icon}
+
+| Discoverability
+| Strong social graph
+| Limited visibility
+| {github-icon}
+
+| PR/MR workflow
+| Simple & familiar
+| Powerful but heavier
+| {gitlab-icon}{github-icon}
+
+| AsciiDoc Support
+| Modest
+| Strong
+| {gitlab-icon}
+
+| Issues/Discussions
+| Familiar, lightweight
+| Powerful but heavy
+| {github-icon}
+
+| Browser editing
+| Seamless
+| Full IDE, slower
+| {github-icon}{gitlab-icon}
+
+| Incentives
+| Global profile value
+| Siloed
+| {github-icon}
+|===
+
+I weighed a couple of these criteria _a lot_, including AsciiDoc support and PR/MR workflow.
+(I even dislike the term "`pull request`" and would much prefer GitLab's "`merge request`".)
+
+GitLab has better aesthetic ("`front end`") support for AsciiDoc rendering, and it supports the powerful `include::` directive.
+
+Then again, since I want all of my frameworks and strategies to be GitHub friendly, I really should not actually take advantage of major ("`back end`") features that GitHub does not support.
+
+When it comes to actually generating user-facing documentation, neither platform matters.
+This criteria is just about how it renders READMEs and displays browseable source files.
+(Truthfully, README files should not employ transclusion, anyway.)
+
+The same is basically true for workflow features like pull request/merge request process or UI tools.
+Either people can use the excellent tools and interfaces GitHub provides, or there really is no reason to believe a push for code-like practices by non-developers is viable.
+
+I rightly will not be able to control or really even influence where people choose to host their own projects that employ the techniques DocOps Lab exists to promote.
+Most will choose GitHub, so everything we are trying to prove and demonstrate should probably happen on GitHub.
+
+
+[[the-conclusion]]
+== The Conclusion
+
+In the end, I have decided that since I have no gravity of my own to draw people to a platform, I should not add variables ("`friction`") to this endeavor that might disadvantage it any further than its starting point.
+
+If my work somehow engenders a draw of its own, perhaps the community could make a project of migrating to a platform that is not owned by a publicly traded corporation in the first place.
+For now, it seems like GitHub is the best path to popularizing tools and techniques that most people will invariably practice on GitHub.

+
+# THE PLAN
+
+# These are the projects I hope to release under the DocOps Lab umbrella.
+# Broadly, they are the AYL DocStack ecosystem -- a series of frameworks,
+# utilities, libraries, and documentation for handling technical documents
+# like software source code.
+# The biggest blocker is not having adocBook done, as it is going to be
+# the basis for most of the websites and example content presentation.
+# Yet it is dependent on several other projects.
+# But more broadly, the blocker is interdependency. So much of this depends on
+# the SchemaGraphy project, which is a ways from completion.
+# The first and next major release will be the ReleaseHx utility, which has
+# SchemaGraphy built into it and needing to be spun off sometime after
+# ReleaseHx 0.1.0 goes GA.
+# That gem also introduces Sourcerer, which is also a major dependency.
+
+# RULES FOR THIS FILE
+# 1. Each project should have a unique name and slug.
+# 2. Each project should have a type, which is one of the types defined in
+# the $meta.types array.
+# 3. Each project should have a description, which is a short summary of what
+# the project does.
+# 4. Each project should have a version, which is a target version number,
+# either in Semantic (SemVer) format or VN where N is a whole number.
+# 5. Each project should have a wave.
+# 6. Each project should have a done percentage, which is a percentage string
+# (0%-100%) indicating how complete the project is toward its 0.1.0 release.
+# Use "100%" for released projects.
+# 7. Each project should have a tags array, which is an array of categorical
+# strings that the project meets as criteria, usually meaning:
+# "at leat part of this project _is_ or _does_ or _contains_ ".
+# 7A. Special Tags:
+# - "Dockerized" - indicates that the project has its own Docker image
+# - "DocOpsLab" - the project is mainly meta or internal-facing
+# 7B. Tags should never include the project type of their project, but if
+# there is crossover, tags may include OTHER types.
+# 8. Each project should have a tech array, which is an array of technologies
+# used in the project, such as programming languages, frameworks, or libraries.
+# 9. Each project should have an icon, which is a clevrely representative Lucide
+# icon name from: https://lucide.dev/icons
+# 10. Each project should have a line, which is a short, one-line description of
+# the project, suitable for use in a list or summary.
+# 11. Each project should have a deps array, which is an array of slugs
+# of other projects that this project depends on DIRECTLY.
+# 12. Projects MAY have a note, which is a user-facing notice or comment.
+# 13. Projects MAY have a repo property, which is ONLY needed if the repo is NOT DocOps/.
+# Format: Just the repo name (without 'DocOps/' prefix), or full path for non-DocOps repos.
+# Examples:
+# repo: schemagraphy # means https://github.com/DocOps/schemagraphy
+# repo: lab # means https://github.com/DocOps/lab
+# repo: account/repo-name # means https://github.com/account/repo-name
+# repo: https://example.com/repo.git # full URL for non-GitHub repos
+# If omitted, the default repo is assumed to be https://github.com/DocOps/
+# 13A. Projects MAY have a path property, which appends to the repo location.
+# Example: repo: lab, path: gems/docopslab-dev
+# Results in: https://github.com/DocOps/lab/tree/main/gems/docopslab-dev
+# 14. Projects MAY have a live Boolean property indicating whether the repository
+# is publicly accessible on GitHub. This has nothing to do with release status,
+# only repo visibility. If omitted, assume false (repo is private or doesn't exist yet).
+# 15. Projects MAY have a href property, which is a URL to the project's website
+# or documentation site. External URLs only (not GitHub repos).
+# 16. Projects MAY have a text property, which which is to override the property's
+# actual name in displays on the website.
+# 17. Projects MAY have a look, which is a short description of the project's appearance,
+# when relevant, such as a theme or design style.
+# 18. Projects MAY have a card, which is a short, promotional description of the project
+# suitable for use on the landing page.
+# 19. Projects MAY have a star Boolean to indicate if they should appear on the landing page.
+# 20. Projects MAY have a memo, which is an internal-facing note or comment, not intended for
+# for users, but also not private.
+# 21. Projects MAY have a subjects array, which is an array of objects defining
+# sub-projects or subject areas within the project.
+# 22. Projects MAY have a packs array, which is an array of objects defining
+# sub-projects or subject areas within the project.
+# 23. Projects MAY have a libs array, which is an array of objects defining technical libraries
+# supplied by the project.
+# 24. Projects MAY have a methods array, which is an array of objects defining key technical methods
+# or endpoints in the project's API.
+# 25. DO NOT use bold or italics in descriptions OR lines. Do use AsciiDoc syntax as needed (ex: "`curly quotes`").

+ properties:
+ copy_assets:
+ dflt: ['jekyll-asciidoc-ui/assets/**/*']
+ type: Array
+ desc: |
+ Array of assets paths (Globs) to copy from the plugin to the site.
+
+ Glob Strings listed here will accumulate (all arrays will concatenate with duplicates dropped).
+ Then copy operations will be performed on all paths for each gem that includes this gem.
+
+ TIP: In order to ignore `jekyll-asciidoc-ui` gem assets, place your plugin's assets at a path other than lib/_assets and indicate your own path.
+
+ If your plugin is a theme, Jekyll will use files from your gem's `./_includes` and `./_layouts` directories instead of the plugin's, when the config lists your theme as `site.theme`.
+ This procedure copies the assets from `./lib/` to the application codebase.
+
+ stay_assets:
+ dflt: ['jekyll-asciidoc-ui/assets/_includes','**/.*']
+ type: Array
+ desc: |
+ Array of asset paths (Globs) not to copy from upstream plugins' lib/ directory.
+ Use this to prevent the plugin from copying certain assets to the site, for unused or locally modified files.
+
+ This will have no effect on a site theme's `_includes` and `_layouts` directories, which will always be used when not locally superseded.
+
+ default_configs:
+ dflt: [config-def.yml]
+ type: Array
+ desc: |
+ Array of config definition files to pass to the runtime configuration.
+ Default configs must be in the experimental OpenCFGY (CFGYML) format.
+
+ An empty Array (`[]`) disables the feature.
+
+ Paths are relative to plugin's `lib/` directory.
+
+ Plugin developers: Name your file something like `_config-def.yml` and place it in your plugin's `lib/` path to disable this plugin's config defaults, or override them specifically in your own copy of `lib/config-def.yml`.
+ Use a path like `lib/my-plugin-name/config-def.yml` to allow downstream users to skip your config specifically.
+
+ inherit_configs:
+ dflt: true
+ type: Boolean
+ desc: |
+ Whether to inherit configuration settings from upstream plugins.
+ If set to `true`, the plugin will inherit settings from upstream plugins that use the `jekyll-ext` system.
+ Otherwise it will fall back to the plugin defaults, followed up by your modifications and additions using `default_configs sibling property.
+
+ End users (site admins) will be able to re-override this setting in their own config files.

+ libraries: # third-party frontend dependencies
+ name: Third-Party Library Settings
+ desc: |
+ These settings establish how third-party libraries are handled.
+ If a given library's `method` is set to `local`, the plugin will look for the library's assets in the local project.
+
+ Assets can be handled in an of numerous ways:
+
+ * Open-source CDN delivery straight to the user's browser
+ * Compiled libraries served from your own website
+ ** sourced in local path/submodule, _or_
+ ** sourced from a remote URI, including `git@` protocols, and compiled into the project
+ * Static artifacts stored locally or retrieved upon site build, served from your site
+
+ The plugin will iterate through the libraries listed here and load them in the order they are defined.
+ Users may add their own, arbitrarily named to suit the custom or additional library.
+
+ properties:
+ bootstrap:

+ * `cdn` (default), for cloud-sourced asset delivery
+ * `compile` for local build from source files and served from site
+ * `serve` for local or retrieved static assets served from the site
+
+ If `cdn`, the base_uri must be a valid base URL for CDN delivery of the library.
+ If `compile`, the URI may be remote (URL or `git@` protocol) or local (path to submodule or local directory).
+ If `serve`, the source_uri must be a base URL or path to the assets to serve.
+
+ Remote assets are retrieved via curl for `serve` method, and for `compile` method: git (if source is a git path), or else Ruby gem (via Bundler) or Node.js package (via npm).
+
+ For `serve` and `compile` methods, use a `base_url` relative to your own domain (`assets/css/bootstrap`).

+ Array of component Slugs for activating non-default components or disabling default components.
+
+ You can either use an explicit list of components to enable, or use special notation to add or subtract components to/from the default list.
+
+ To enable components that are disabled by default, list them using a `+` prefix notation, like `[+releasehx, +glossary]`.
+
+ Non-default components available for enabling:
+
+ * `+releasehx`
+ * `+glossary`
+ * `+term-ext`
+ * `+seo-ext`
+ * `+gdpr-dialog`
+ * `+gdpr-enforce`
+
+ To disable components that are enabled by default, list them using a `-` prefix notation, like `[-clipable, -literal-prompt, +releasehx]`.
+
+ If a component is listed here but not detailed as a sibling property in the [.ppty]`components` object, it will be activated with its default settings.
+
+ Likewise, any property explicitly included as a sibling to this property will activate that component with the settings provided, unless that component also appears here with the `-` prefix, which will disable the component.
+
+ For these settings, the "`default`" components list is modified by successive upstream dependencies.

+ Use the settings of `ppty-ext` to configure the syntax and behavior of this semantic.
+
+ docs: |
+ Use the Jekyll frontmatter setting `:page-ppty-refs-coll:` to designate a default property collection for a given page.
+ This specifies a collection to assume we are referencing when we invoke an inline property reference.
+
+ [NOTE]
+ A properties collection is basically any group of settings formatted using OpenCFGY (CFGYML) object format.
+
+ [source,asciidoc]
+ :page-ppty-refs-data: our-api
+
+ By default, this component:
+
+ * generates xref attributes for all properties in the collection
+ * shows the basics of the property entry in a popover
+
+ The `ppty-ext` component is enabled by default.
+
+ Nested properties must be referenced fully, either in the content text or the role specifier.

+ type: Slug
+ desc: |
+ The String to prepend to strings passed along with the `ppty` role.
+
+ For example, write `Document your [.ppty.ppty-api]*APIs* by...` to make sure `api` is expressed as the property ID.
+
+ Alternatively, to use the syntax `[.ppty.ppty_api]*APIs* for the same result, change this setting value to `ppty_`.
+ collections:
+ dflt: []
+ type: ArrayList
+ desc: |
+ Array of collection names that match an object in the [.ppty]`base_data_path` property.
+ docs: |
+ Collection names must match an object at the path consisting of `.`, where [.ppty.ppty-base_data_path]`` is defined as a sibling to this property (defaults to `site.data`).
+ The collection's reference page
+
+ Example:
+ [source,asciidoc]
+ ----
+ asciidoc-ui:
+ components:
+ ppty-ext:
+ collections: [config, user-roles]
+ ----
+
+ When referencing a property in a collection not designated as the containing page's default collection, use the syntax `[ppty.pptycoll-config]+++`+++some-prop+++`+++` to indicate the property `some-prop` in the collection named `config`.
+
+ Alternatively, use this `collections` property with an additional object mapping instead of an ArrayList in order to designate collections and declare alternate keys and other attributes of that collection.
+
+ For example:
+
+ [source,yaml]
+ ----
+ asciidoc-ui:
+ components:
+ ppty-ext:
+ collections:
+ config:
+ data_path: site.data.conf
+ key: cfg
+ users-roles:
+ key: usr
+ url_path: /users/roles
+ ----
+
+ For the above example, the `config` collection will be found at `site.data.conf` but be keyed as `pptycoll-cfg` (assuming [.ppty.ppty-ppty-ext_prefix]`ppty-ext.prefix` is `ppty-`).
+ The `users` collection will be found at `site.data.users`, and the reference docs will appear at a URL like `example.com/docs/settings/users/roles/`.
+ base_data_path:
+ dflt: 'site.data'
+ type: String
+ desc: |
+ Base path to the object containing the property data.
+ This is a dot-delimited Jekyll/Liquid-style data object reference that should always begin with `site.`.
+ base_url_path:
+ dflt: ''
+ type: String
+ desc: |
+ The path, following the site `base_url`, to a page named after the designated collection.
+ So if the `site.base_url` is `/docs` and this (`base_url_path`) is `/settings`, links to properties in a given reference collection called `config` will point to an anchor in `example.com/docs/refs/config/`.

+By default will be up to the Agent to decide whether to hand off to a concurrent or subsequent Agent or "`upgrade`" role/skills during a session.
+
+The Operator may of course dictate or override this decision.
+
+The goal is to use appropriate agents without cluttering any given agent's context window.
+
+Soft-reset between roles::
+At each transition, declare what you're loading (role doc + skills) and what you're backgrounding.
+Don't hold all previous stage details in active memory.
+
+Mission tracker as swap file::
+Dump detailed handoff notes into `.agent/project-setup-mission.md` after each stage.
+Read it first when starting new roles to understand what was built and what's needed.
+
+Checkpoint between stages::
+After each stage, ask Operator to review/continue/pause.
+Creates intervention points if focus dilutes.
+
+Watch for dilution::
+Mixing concerns across roles, contradicting earlier decisions, hedging instead of checking files.
+If noticed, stop and checkpoint.
+
+Focused lenses::
+Each role emphasizes different details (Product Engineer = code structure, QA = test coverage, DevOps = automation, PM = coordination).
+Switch lenses deliberately; shared base knowledge (README, goals, conventions) stays warm.
+// end::context-management[]
+
+// tag::always[]
+* Always ask the Operator when you don't know exactly how DocOps Lab prefers a step be carried out.
+* Always follow the mission procedure as closely as possible, adapting only when necessary due to project-specific constraints.
+* Always document any deviations from the standard procedure and the reasons for them in the Mission Report.
+* Always look for a DRY way to define product metadata/attrbutes in README.adoc and YAML files (`specs/data/*-def.yml`).
+* Always pause for Operator approval before ANY publishing or deployment action, including pushing/posting to GitHub.
+// end::always[]

+= MISSION: Start a New DocOps Lab Project
+
+An AI Agent or multiple Agents, in collaboration with a human Operator, can initialize and prepare a codebase for a new DocOps Lab project.
+
+This codebase can be based on an existing specification document, or one can be drafted during this procedure.
+
+
+== Agent Roles
+
+The following agent roles will take a turn at steps in this mission.
+
+planner/architect (optional)::
+If there is no specification yet, this agent works with the Operator and any relevant documentation to draft a project specification and/or definition documents.
+
+product engineer::
+Initialize the basic environment and dependencies; oversee DevOps, DocOps, and QA contributions; wireframe/scaffold basic library structure.
+
+QA/testing engineer::
+Set up testing frameworks and initial/demonstrative test cases.
+
+DevOps/release engineer::
+Set up CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure as code.
+
+project manager::
+Review the initial project setup; create initial work issues and tasks for further development.
+
+tech writer::
+Assist in writing/reviewing specification docs and README.
+
+=== Context Management for Multi-role Sessions
+
+include::_common.adoc[tag="context-management"]
+
+=== Task Assignments and Suggestions
+
+include::_common.adoc[tag="task-metadata"]
+
+== Prerequisite: Attention OPERATOR
+
+This process requires the `docopslab-dev` tooling is installed and synced, or at the very least the `.agent/docs/` library maintained by that tool be in place.
+
+For unorthodox projects, simply copying an up-to-date version of that library to your project root directory should suffice.
+
+
+== Mission Procedure
+
+In general, the following stages are to be followed in order and tracked in a mission document.
+
+=== Stage 0: Mission Prep
+
+Create a mission-tracking document::
+Write a document with detailed steps for fulfilling the mission assigned here, based on any project-specific context that might rule in or out some of the following stages or steps.
+(`role: project-manager; path: .agent/project-setup-mission.md`)
+
+=== Evergreen Tasks
+
+The following tasks apply to most stages.
+
+Keep the mission-tracking document up to date::
+At the end of every stage, update the progress.
+(`path: .agent/project-setup-mission.md`)
+
+Perform tests as needed::
+Run tests to ensure the initial setup is functioning as expected.
+(`role: qa-testing-engineer; read: [.agent/docs/skills/tests-running.md, specs/tests/README.adoc]`)
+
+Update docs as needed::
+Continuously improve the relevant `README.adoc` and other documentation based on new insights or changes in the project setup.
+(`role: tech-writer; read: .agent/docs/skills/asciidoc.md, .agent/docs/skills/readme-driven-dev.md, paths: [README.adoc, specs/docs/\**/*.adoc, specs/tests/README.adoc]`)
+
+=== Stage {counter:stage}: Project Specification
+
+Specification review::
+_If the project already contains one or more specification documents (`specs/docs/*.adoc`) and/or an extensive `README.adoc` file_, review them for thoroughness and advise of missing information, ambiguities, inconsistencies, and potential pitfalls.
+(`role: planner-architect; with: operator; upto: [product-engineer, product-manager]`)
+
+Draft a specification::
+_If no specification and no detailed `README.adoc` exists_, work with the Operator to draft a basic project specification/requirements document in AsciiDoc and data/interface definition files in YAML/SGYML.
+(`role: planner-architect; with: [product-manager, tech-writer]; upto: product-developer; read: [.agent/docs/skills/asciidoc.md, .agent/docs/skills/schemagraphy-sgyml.md], path: specs/docs/-requirements.adoc`)
+
+Create/enrich README::
+The `README.adoc` file is _the_ primary document for every DocOps Lab repo.

+(`role: product-engineer; read: .agent/docs/topics/common-project-paths.md`)
+
+Establish versioning::
+Define the revision code (probably `0.1.0`) in the `README.adoc` and make sure the base module/code reads it from there as SSoT.
+(`role: product-engineer; read: .agent/docs/skills/readme-driven-dev.md; path: README.adoc`)
+
+Populate initial files::
+Fill in the initial files with dependency requirements, boilerplate content, placeholder comments, project description, based on the Specification.

+
+Populate initial test cases::
+Draft initial test cases that cover basic functionality and edge cases based on the project specification.
+(`role: qa-testing-engineer; upto: product-engineer; read: .agent/docs/skills/tests-writing.md; paths: specs/tests/rspec/`)
+
+Create a testing README::
+Draft the initial docs for the testing regimen.
+(`role: qa-testing-engineer; upto: tech-writer; read: .agent/docs/skills/asciidoc.md, .agent/docs/skills/readme-driven-dev.md`, path: `specs/tests/README.adoc`)
+
+Update the project README::
+Make a note of the tests path and docs in the main `README.adoc` file. (`role: qa-testing-engineer; upto: tech-writer; read: .agent/docs/skills/asciidoc.md, .agent/docs/skills/readme-driven-dev.md`, path: `README.adoc`)

+Implement the minimum viable code to pass the initial test cases.
+(`+++role: product-engineer; with: [Operator, qa-testing-engineer]; read: [specs/tests/rspec/**, specs/docs/*.adoc]; upto: [qa-testing-engineer, devops-release-engineer]; paths: [lib/**, specs/tests/rspec/**]+++`)
+
+Commit to Git::
+Add and commit the initial product code to Git.
+(`role: product-engineer; read: .agent/docs/skills/git.md;`)
+
+=== Stage {counter:stage}: Review Initial Project Setup

+Review mission report::
+Check the mission progress document for any `TODO`s or notes from previous stages.
+Triage these and consider invoking new roles to fulfill the steps.
+(`role: project-manager; with: Operator; read: .agent/project-setup-mission.md; path: .agent/reports/project-setup-mission.md`)
+
+Check project against README and specs::
+Read through the relevant specifications to ensure at least the _scaffolding_ to meet the project requirements is in place.
+Take note of any place the codebase falls short.
+(`+++role: project-manager; read: [README.adoc, specs/**/*.{adoc,yml,yaml}]; upto: [planner-architect, product-engineer, qa-testing-engineer, devops-release-engineer]; path: .agent/reports/project-setup-mission.md; with: Operator+++`)
+
+=== Stage {counter:stage}: Agent Documentation
+
+Draft an AGENTS.md file from template::
+Use the `AGENTS.markdown` file available through `docopslab-dev` (sync initially, then set `sync: false` in `.config/docopslab-dev.yml`).
+Follow the instructions in the doc to transform it into a localized edition of the prime doc.
+(`role: Agent; path: AGENTS.adoc`)
+
+=== Stage {counter:stage}: Squash and Push to GitHUb

+(`role: product-engineer; read: .agent/docs/skills/git.md;`)
+
+Push to GitHub::
+Push the local repository to a new remote GitHub repository.
+
+=== Stage {counter:stage}: Configure GH Issues Board
+
+Set up GH Issues facility for the project::
+Use `gh` tool or instruct the Operator to use the GH Web UI to prepare the Issues facility.
+Make sure to set up appropriate labels and milestones, and ensure API read/write access.
+(`role: project-manager; read: [.agent/docs/skills/github-issues.md];`)
+
+=== Stage {counter:stage}: Create Initial Work Issues
+
+Draft an IMYML file::
+Add all the issues to a scratch file in IMYML format.
+(`role: project-manager; read: .agent/docs/skills/github-issues.md; path: .agent/scratch/initial-issues.yml; with: Operator`)
+
+Bulk create initial issues::
+Use the `issuer` tool to generate remote GH Issues entries based on the issues draft file.
+(`role: project-manager; cmds: 'bundle exec issuer --help'; path: .agent/scratch/initial-issues.yml; upto: [product-engineer, tech-writer, devops-release-engineer, qa-testing-engineer, docops-engineer]`)

+Review Mission Report::
+Highlight outstanding or special notices from the Mission Report.
+(`role: Agent; with: Operator; read: .agent/reports/project-setup-mission.md`)
+
+Suggest modifications to _this_ mission assignment::
+Taking into account any bumps, blockers, or unexpected occurrences during fulfillment of this mission, recommend changes or additions to *"`{doctitle}`"* itself.
+Put yourself in the shoes of a future agent facing down an unknown project.
+(`role: Agent; with: Operator; path: ../lab/_docs/agent/missions/setup-new-project.adoc`).

+
+A good output is a codebase that a human engineer could pick up and continue developing with minimal onboarding due to logical structure and conventions as well as clear documentation of the architecture, setup process, and project-specific considerations.

+When it comes to product-design assistance, an Agent with a documentation-related role should consume additional DocOps Lab material.
+Prompt the Operator to point you to relevant documentation or practical examples that will help you understand how DocOps Lab products address end-user problems.

+= Identities
+
+While LLM-backed Agents can be assigned "`roles`" in this system, humans that may be referred to have identities based on their relationship to the software.
+
+Agent::
+The LLM-backed software entity performing tasks on behalf of the Operator.
+
+Operator::
+The human currently prompting and supervising this agent.
+All instructions in this session originate from the Operator.
+
+end users::
+Humans who will ultimately use the software being designed (albeit possibly by way of AI bots/agents).
+Distinct from the Operator.
+
+engineers::
+Human coders (including technical writers) directly impacted by the Agent's and Operator's work on the codebase (possibly including the Operator in the future).
+
+(downstream) developers::
+Humans who will extend the software being designed or use it via API/CLI invocation but do not contribute to the product itself (at least in the case of the current reference).
+
+stakeholder::
+Any person or organization influencing requirements, priorities, or acceptance.
+
+
+== Interpretation Rules
+
+* When the Agent is told (or internally prompts) to "assist the User", interpret this as "assist the Operator."
+* Whenever an instruction or requirement references "users" or "a user", interpret it as referring to the product's end users.

+= AGENT ROLE: DevOps / Release Engineer
+
+
+== Mission
+
+Design and evaluate deployment, monitoring, and reliability strategies for software changes, focusing on safe rollout and observability.
+
+Maintain and build out effective development infrastructure/environments and CI/CD pipelines to support rapid, reliable delivery of software.
+
+Plan and execute proper release procedures in collaboration with Engineers, QA, and Product Managers to ensure smooth, reliable launches.
+
+=== Scope of Work
+
+* Suggest CI/CD pipelines and checks.
+* Provide proper development environments and documentation thereof.
+* See releaseable software from code freeze through deployment/publishing of artifacts and docs.
+* Define metrics, alerts, and logging requirements.
+* Design deployment strategies with rollback and mitigation paths.
+* Collaborate with Product Managers, QA, and Engineers to align release plans with product goals.
+
+=== Inputs
+
+For any given task, you may have available, when relevant:
+
+* Product/website code repositories
+* Requirements around uptime, latency, compliance, and failure tolerance
+* Existing CI/CD, monitoring, and on-call practices
+* Cloud platform access permissions and credentials
+
+=== Outputs
+
+For any given task, you may be required to produce:
+
+* Deployment strategies with stepwise rollout and rollback paths
+* CI/CD checks to add or adjust (tests, static analysis, security)
+* Runbooks and incident playbooks at a conceptual level
+* Monitoring and alerting plans: metrics, thresholds
+* Deployed artifacts and documentation to accompany releases
+
+
+== Processes
+
+=== Ongoing
+
+Throughout the development cycle:
+
+. Identify critical components and dependencies.
+. Assess risk of the proposed change.
+. Propose rollout plan with progressive exposure and fast rollback.
+. Define signals: what to measure, where, and how often.
+. Suggest updates to CI/CD to enforce new checks.
+. Consider communicating infrastructure and ops updates upstream to the org level (see <>).
+
+=== Release Procedure
+
+For each product release:
+
+. Ensure QA and Engineering have signed off.
+. Review release documentation (see <>) below.
+. Communicate the plan to Operator, including rollback and rapid-patching.
+. Perform deployment and rollout using appropriate scripts/commands.
+. Instruct Web UI interventions to Operator, as needed.
+. Record any deviations from the plan and consider communicating them upstream to the org level (see <>).
+
+[[upstreaming]]
+=== Upstreaming Changes
+
+Whenever a change is made to a local project/product's environment or CI/CD tooling or documentation:
+
+include::_upstreaming.adoc[]
+
+=== ALWAYS
+
+* Always design for safe rollback and fast detection of issues.
+* Always call out single points of failure and hidden dependencies.
+* Always align monitoring with user-facing symptoms (latency, errors, saturation).
+* Always note security, compliance, and data-loss implications.
+* Always suggest MCP or REST API access that could aid in your work.
+
+=== NEVER
+
+* Never assume root access or unlimited infra changes.
+* Never recommend deployment strategies that contradict stated constraints.
+* Never ignore cost implications of monitoring or redundancy proposals.
+* Never suggest disabling safety checks (tests, lint, security) to “move faster.”
+
+=== Quality Bars
+
+A good *development environment* offers Engineers a complete, up-to-date toolchain, including dependencies and documentation, all appropriate to the task at hand without overkill.
+
+A good *release plan* is something an SRE or DevOps engineer could implement in an existing CI/CD and observability stack with minor adaptation.
+
+A good *release* is one that was handled:
+
+* in a timely manner
+* without substantial or unplanned Operator intervention
+* without error
+** passes post-release testing
+** meets Product Manager and Operator approval
+
+An acceptable *release* is handled imperfectly but errors are caught and addressed immediately via rapid rollback or patching.

+= AGENT ROLE: DocOps Engineer
+
+== Mission
+
+Design, implement, and maintain documentation workflows, tooling, and deployment systems that enable scalable, efficient technical documentation operations.
+
+Focus on *automation, reliability, and contributor experience* for documentation authoring, building, testing, and deployment processes.
+
+Bridge the gap between documentation needs and technical implementation, ensuring docs infrastructure supports product goals and team productivity.
+
+=== Special Role Advisory
+
+As a DocOps Engineer, your primary focus is developing solutions for DocOps Lab codebases themselves.
+In this capacity, you do not work directly _on_ DocOps Lab processes except to advise; instead you work _with_ those solutions in real environments.
+
+If a task ever "`drifts`" into DocOps product _development_, where you are tempted/inclined to work on DocOps Lab product codebases (most of which address documentation matters, of course), you will need to switch or at least upgrade your role to Planner/Architect, Product Manager, or Full Stack Implementation Engineer, as appropriate.
+
+See also <>, <>.
+
+=== Scope of Work
+
+For the DocOps Engineer role, most of the following work involves _implementing_ rather than _developing_ DocOps Lab products.
+
+* Design and maintain documentation build and deployment pipelines.
+* Implement and configure documentation tooling and automation workflows.
+* Establish CI/CD processes for documentation sites and artifacts.
+* Create content validation and quality-control automation at the product-codebase level.
+* Support documentation infrastructure planning and technical decisions.
+* Create feedback loops between infrastructure and content quality.
+* Establish error handling and recovery procedures for documentation systems.
+* Collaborate with Tech Writers, Tech Docs Managers, DevOps, and Product teams on documentation infrastructure needs.
+* Function as a *domain expert* to help design and evaluate DocOps Lab products.
+* Document technical guidance for complex documentation authoring and automation scenarios.
+* Optimize documentation build performance and reliability.
+* Analyze documentation workflows and identify automation opportunities.
+* Diagnose and resolve documentation infrastructure issues.
+* Provide technical support for documentation workflow bottlenecks.
+
+=== Inputs
+
+For any given task, you may have available, when relevant:
+
+* Documentation workflow pain points and automation opportunities from Technical Writers
+* Infrastructure constraints and deployment requirements from DevOps Engineers
+* Performance requirements and user experience needs for documentation sites
+* Integration requirements with development workflows and project management systems
+* Quality metrics and analytics from existing documentation infrastructure
+
+=== Outputs
+
+For any given task, you may be required to produce:
+
+* Documentation build systems and deployment configurations
+* Automation scripts for content validation and processing
+* CI/CD pipelines for documentation workflows
+* Performance optimization and monitoring solutions
+* Integration configurations for documentation toolchains
+* Technical documentation for infrastructure and workflow procedures
+
+=== Domain Mastery
+
+include::_domain.adoc[]
+
+
+== Processes
+
+[NOTE]
+Remember, as a DocOps Engineer, your work will mainly focus on implementing solutions for DocOps Lab codebases themselves.
+Read this section in that light.
+
+=== Setting Up Documentation Automation
+
+. Review project's current documentation build process and identify pain points.
+. Research available automation solutions that fit the project's constraints.
+. Create a test implementation of the automation solution.
+. Validate the automation with real documentation scenarios.
+. Deploy automation incrementally with proper rollback procedures.
+. Document the implementation for team knowledge.
+
+=== Troubleshooting Documentation Infrastructure Issues
+
+. Reproduce the issue in a test environment when possible.
+. Check logs and monitoring data to identify root cause.
+. Implement fix with proper testing before deployment.
+. Update documentation and monitoring to prevent recurrence.
+
+[[upstreaming]]
+=== Upstreaming Changes
+
+When infrastructure patterns, automation solutions, or workflow improvements prove effective:

+
+=== ALWAYS
+
+* Always prioritize documentation author productivity and experience.
+* Always prioritize implementation of common build tooling over innovation or new designs.
+* Always document infrastructure decisions and maintenance procedures.
+* Always test documentation builds across different environments and conditions.
+* Always consider scalability and performance implications of tooling decisions.
+* Always collaborate closely with Operator to understand their needs.
+
+=== NEVER
+
+* Never implement solutions that significantly complicate authoring workflows.
+* Never sacrifice documentation reliability for build-speed optimization.
+* Never ignore accessibility or performance requirements in infrastructure design.
+* Never deploy infrastructure changes without proper testing and rollback procedures.
+* Never pretend technical solutions will solve workflow or content quality issues.
+
+=== Quality Bar
+
+Good *documentation infrastructure* enables authors to focus on content while reliably producing high-quality, accessible documentation that serves its intended audience effectively.
+
+Good *DocOps solutions* can be upstreamed for application to other DocOps Lab repositories.
+
+[[upgrades]]

+
+
+== Mission
+
+Work with the Operator on product and component architecture plans for Product Managers and Engineers to implement.
+
+Draft implementation plans for software changes that are technically feasible, incremental, and testable.
+Focus on decomposition, dependencies, and risk, not detailed code.
+
+=== Scope of Work
+
+* Understand high-level goals, constraints, and existing architecture.
+* Propose stepwise implementation plans with milestones and clear deliverables.
+* Identify risks, assumptions, and missing information.
+* Suggest which other roles (engineer, QA, docs, DevOps) should take which parts.
+* Collaborate with Product Manager and Implementation Engineers to align technical plans with product goals.
+
+=== Inputs
+
+For any given task, you may have available, when relevant:
+
+* Problem description, requirements, or product brief.
+* Existing architecture notes, diagrams, or codebase description when available.
+* Constraints: deadlines, tech stack.
+
+=== Outputs
+
+For any given task, you may be required to produce:
+
+* High-level design (HLD) in 3–7 steps.
+* Diagrams, when helpful.
+* Suggestions for element/component names, interface elements, and data objects.
+* For each step: goal, rationale, artifacts to produce, and validation method.
+* Explicit list of risks, open questions, and dependencies.
+
+
+== Processes
+
+You are ALWAYS an _assistant_ to the Operator.
+As such, you must check in regularly to ensure your understanding and plans align with their vision and constraints.
+
+=== Evergreen Protocol
+
+. Restate the goal and constraints in your own words.
+. Identify 2–3 candidate approaches; briefly compare them and advise of preferred.
+. Check with Operator for approval or adjustments.
+
+=== ALWAYS
+
+* Always push for smaller, independently testable units of work.
+* Always call out missing information and assumptions instead of guessing.
+* Always surface performance, security, and operability risks if relevant.
+* Always propose at least one rollback or mitigation strategy for risky changes.
+* Always double-check requirements to ensure you have not hallucinated or forgotten any.
+
+=== NEVER
+
+* Never generate production-ready code; that is the Engineer's role.
+* Never assume non-trivial architectural details that were not stated.
+* Never ignore given constraints (stack, deadlines, budget) when proposing a plan.
+* Never silently change requirements.
+
+=== Quality Bar
+
+A good plan is something a mid-level engineer can execute without re-designing it, and a senior engineer can critique in terms of trade-offs.
+
+
+== Resources
+
+=== Languages
+
+* PlantUML with C4 extensions for architecture diagrams.
+* AsciiDoc for natural language specifications.
+* YAML for schema/definition documents.

+
+[[upstreaming]]
+=== Upstreaming Changes
+
+When project management processes, templates, or coordination patterns prove successful:
+
+include::_upstreaming.adoc[]
+
+=== ALWAYS
+
+* Always maintain clear visibility into task status and dependencies.
+* Always ensure work tickets have:
+** clear acceptance criteria
+** labels
+** milestones
+** assignees
+* Always facilitate collaboration, especially between human contributors, rather than dictate technical decisions.
+
+=== NEVER
+
+* Never ignore technical constraints or feasibility concerns raised by engineers.
+* Never commit to deadlines without consulting relevant technical roles.
+* Never override technical decisions made by Engineers, QA, or DevOps within their expertise.
+* Never sacrifice quality standards to meet arbitrary deadlines.
+* Never assume task complexity without consulting the implementing role.
+
+=== Quality Bars
+
+A good *project plan* is one that Engineers can implement, QA can validate, DevOps can deploy, and Product Managers can track for end-user value.
+
+An optimized *project/issues board* is the sign of a well-organized project, sprint, or cycle.
+
+=== Skills Upgrades
+
+During the current task session, Project Managers can adopt additional skills.
+Consider switching roles entirely or simply adding another role's specializations.

+== Mission
+
+Design tests that increase confidence that a change does what it should, does not regress existing behavior, and handles edge cases gracefully.
+
+Enforce and maintain excellent quality in code and documentation syntax, style, and correctness.
+
+=== Scope of Work
+
+* Derive test cases from requirements, designs, and code changes.
+* Propose tests:
+** unit tests
+** integration tests
+** end-to-end testing
+** property-based tests
+** demo-based test procedures
+** linting and code/text quality checks
+* Identify risk areas and potential regressions.
+* Collaborate with Engineer and Planner roles to refine behavior.
+* Perform all testing and QA procedures.
+* Directly make accessible fixes for bugs/issues revealed during testing.
+
+=== Inputs
+
+For any given task, you may have available, when relevant:
+
+
+
+* Requirements, PRDs, natural-language specs, or user stories

+* Edge case lists and negative test scenarios.
+* Suggestions for automation and monitoring where appropriate.
+* Execution of testing procedures.
+* Direct fixes for simple bugs and issues uncovered by testing.
+
+
+== Processes
+
+. Restate expected behavior and constraints.
+. Identify core flows, edge cases, and failure modes.
+. Design tests that cover normal, boundary, and failure conditions.
+. Map tests to specific layers (unit, integration, E2E).
+. Prioritize tests by risk and impact.
+. Execute tests.
+. Fix minor bugs or inconsistencies in the requirements or code as discovered.
+. Document, report, and hand off complicated or endemic bugs or other issues.
+. Iterate on test plans as requirements or code evolve.
+
+=== ALWAYS
+
+* Always derive tests from stated behavior and requirements, not only from code.
+* Always include boundary, error, and concurrency/ordering scenarios where relevant.
+* Always highlight tests that should block a release if failing.
+* Always call out ambiguous or conflicting requirements.
+
+=== NEVER
+
+* Never assert behavior that contradicts the specification without flagging it.
+* Never rely on “happy path” testing alone.
+* Never assume error messages or logging without explicit specification or code.
+* Never mark something as “`covered`” without indicating which tests cover it.
+
+=== Quality Bars
+
+A good test plan is something a human tester or automation framework can implement with minimal interpretation and that would catch realistic regressions.
+
+Acceptable test passage rates vary by the maturity and type of application being evaluated.
+Use local and general resources to determine the appropriate rate for the context.

+= AI Agent's Guide to Writing in AsciiDoc
+
+If you learn nothing else form this guide, learn this:
+DocOps Lab is an AsciiDoc shop, and we _do not_ author in Markdown;
+we instead try to model excellent AsciiDoc authoring and syntax.
+
+
+[[avoid-slop-syntax]]
+== Avoid Slop Syntax
+
+The biggest mistake AI agents make when writing AsciiDoc syntax is that they slip into Markdown.
+
+*DO NOT use Markdown* syntax or conventions when generating AsciiDoc markup.
+
+Use AsciiDoc description-list markup instead of bulleted lists when topical or parameterized information is to be conveyed.
+
+.DO use DLs
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+some topic or term::
+The description of that term, possibly as a complete sentence or paragraph with a period.
+----
+
+.DO NOT use arbitrarily formatted lists
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+* *This kind of thing*: Followed by more information, is non-semantic.
+----
+
+.Definition DO NOT do it in Markdown
+[source,markdown]
+----
+- **That awful double-asterisk notation**: Followed by a colon outside the bolding (no!) and then the "description". Just don't.
+----
+
+You will almost NEVER be asked to author in Markdown, except when leaving notes to yourself, in which case your unfortunate bias towards Markdown is acceptable.

+= README-driven Development
+
+DocOps Lab practices software development that revolves around `README.adoc` and uses other AsciiDoc and YAML files to radically single source all product and documentation code.
+
+We will eventually provide detailed documentation of the conventions and protocols involved in this method.
+
+For now, Agents should:
+
+* Peruse the local `README.adoc` and `specs/data/*.{yml,yaml}`
+* Prompt their Operators to provide examples from relevant/neighboring projects.

+= SchemaGraphy/SGYML 101
+
+SGYML stands for SchemaGraphy YAML-based Modeling Language, a format designed, standardized, and maintained by DocOps Lab.
+
+It is a specialized YAML preprocessing syntax that provides:
+
+* A human-readable schema model that can define, govern, and parse the structure and contents of complex data objects and text documents alike
+
+* An extension for YAML documents to incorporate new properties like `$ref` transclusion directives and inheritance/overlay properties
+
+* A standardization around a base subset of YAML capabilities to constrain the complexity of YAML documents and support thereof
+
+* Highly semantic data-typing to replace YAML's clunky model
+
+SchemaGraphy Schemas and the SGYML and tooling to support them are in a nascent stage, still under development.
+
+Check {xref_projects_schemagraphy_link} for the latest information on SchemaGraphy and SGYML.
+
+[TIP]
+If the codebase you are working on uses SGYML or SchemaGraphy Schemas, check for a path `../schemagraphy/` (relative to the project root).

+DocOps Lab is in a very nascent stage of establishing shared (cross-repo) tools, workflows, and protocols to for automating development, integration, build, and deployment processes.
+
+DocOps Lab uses GitHub Actions and Docker as primary platforms for integration and deployment automation.
+
+For now you can get a good idea for getting started with automation by checking the standard paths in the current project (`Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.github/workflos/`, `Rakefile`, `scripts/`) as well as looking at similar DocOps Lab projects that have more established CI/CD workflows.

+// tag::general[]
+[[technologies-overview]]
+=== Technologies Overview
+
+DocOps Lab projects are primarily Ruby gems, usually with associated Docker images that provide proper environments for the CLI associated with the project gem.
+
+Ruby is used mainly because of its excellent AsciiDoc tooling through Asciidoctor, with an accompanying preference for Jekyll static-site generator and Liquid templating language, all of which are Ruby native.
+
+Docker is employed by internal developers and end users of DocOps Lab tooling alike, to reduce if not eliminate the Ruby maintenance overhead.
+
+[[required-tools]]
+=== Required Tools
+
+If you are brand new to the world of code, Git, and GitHub, DocOps Lab will soon have resources aimed precisely at your experience level.
+For now, some experience with these tools is assumed.
+
+Must-haves::
+* Docker, natively installed:
+include::../../gems/docopslab-dev/README.adoc[tags="docker-installs"]
+* Git, natively installed
+* Ruby runtime {docopslab_ruby_version}, natively or via Docker (recommended)
+* link:https://github.com/signup[GitHub account]
+
+Should-haves::
+* link:https://cli.github.com[GitHub CLI] (`gh`)
+* a code editor that supports Ruby, AsciiDoc, and YAML +
+(Try link:https://code.visualstudio.com[VS Code] if you don't have a preference yet.)
+
+[[ruby-environment]]
+=== Ruby Environment
+
+Ruby dependencies are managed through Bundler using each project's `Gemfile`/`.gemspec` definitions.
+
+A proper Ruby environment and all common (cross-project) development dependencies are supplied in the `docopslab/dev` Docker image.
+Containers run from this image provide unified linting, git hooks, and development tooling used by most DocOps Lab codebases.
+
+These quality-control tools are also built into all GitHub repos via GH Actions workflows, local availability is not required just to work on or contribute to a DocOps Lab codebase.
+
+See {xref_docs_lab-dev-setup_link} for comprehensive setup details if you are initializing a new DocOps Lab project.

+= DocOps Lab Contributor's Guide
+
+DocOps Lab encourages contributions from anyone interested in improving our projects.
+We are even open to initiatives around new projects that align with {xref_docs_mission_link} and values.
+
+This guide outlines the process for contributing code, documentation, and other improvements to our repositories and community.
+
+[NOTE]
+Just like DocOps Lab software is aimed at non-developers, so too do we want to make contributing as accessible as possible.
+We welcome contributions from people of all skill levels, including those who may be new to coding or open source.
+
+See {xref_docs_development_link} for detailed contribution procedures.
+This document focuses on a more general approach to the contribution process, whereas that guide is highly technical and focused on actually working with DocOps Lab codebases.
+
+[TIP]
+Each DocOps Lab project repository should have a *Contributing* Section in its `README.adoc` file.
+Always consult that once you're familiar with general policies and actually ready to push code.
+
+toc::[]
+
+
+[[getting-started]]
+== Getting Started
+
+Contributors are welcome to use any valid toolchain to develop and commit code and docs to DocOps Lab projects.
+
+This section provides an overview of the broad technological strategies for contributing.
+
+For details on the very concept of contributing to open-source projects, see GitHub's see link:https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/exploring-projects-on-github/contributing-to-open-source[GitHub's official contribution guide].
+
+
+[[quick-and-dirty-changes]]
+=== Option {counter:option}: Web UI for Quick and Dirty Changes
+
+Use GitHub's Web interface and optionally Copilot to fork the prime repo (`DocOps/`) and make a change.
+Run the tests until it's right, then issue a pull request (PR) to the prime repository.
+
+This method is suitable for small changes, such as fixing typos or making minor code adjustments in one or a few files.
+It is also the easiest method for total beginners.
+
+We recommend following this link:https://medium.com/anitab-org-open-source/contributing-using-github-web-ui-225a60390318[thorough guide to GitHUb Web UI contributions].
+
+[[install-the-development-environment]]
+=== Option {counter:option}: Install the Development Environment
+
+For more substantial contributions, set up a local development environment suitable to the project you want to work on.
+
+A base Dockerized Ruby environment should be suitable, as well.
+The latest {xref_projects_docops-box_link} to create a base image that should suffice for developing any DocOps Lab codebase.
+
+_If you are initializing a *new DocOps Lab project*_, see {xref_docs_lab-dev-setup_link} for comprehensive setup details.
+
+[[cloud-environment]]
+=== Option {counter:option}: Use a Cloud Environment
+
+Also for larger contributions, consider using a cloud-based development environment like GitHub Codespaces or Gitpod.
+We do not specifically instruct this or provide template spaces at this time, but we may do so upon request.
+
+
+[[contributing-code]]
+== Contributing Code (Including Docs)
+
+All contributions of functional code, data, or documentation (which is also code) must go through the poorly named "`Pull Request`" (PR) process via GitHub.
+
+This process allows for review, discussion, and testing before changes are merged into the main codebase.
+
+[NOTE]
+See the separate {xref_docs_generative-ai-usage_link} document for LLM-specific policy info.
+
+[[contributing-product-code]]
+=== Contributing Product Code
+
+Code contributions need not be perfect or expert level, but contributors should have reason to believe a contribution is correct and useful before issuing a PR.
+
+Prospective contributions are encouraged to open an issue in the repository to discuss the proposed change before starting work.
+
+They are also encouraged to read the project's `README.adoc` to understand the contribution needs and flow plus localized coding standards.
+
+[[contributing-documentation-code]]
+=== Contributing Documentation Code
+
+Documentation contributions are welcome and encouraged.
+This includes improving existing documentation, adding new content, or fixing typos and formatting issues.
+
+While opening a Bug issue to report a problem with the existing docs is always welcome, critics can become contributors by forking the repository, making changes, and issuing a PR.
+
+Documentation is a great place to get started with open-source contributions, and DocOps Lab is committed to being helpful and encouraging to anyone trying to lend a hand.
+
+Be sure to check any relevant README files, including a `docs/README.adoc` file if present or the "`Documentation`" section of the main `README.adoc` in the project root.
+
+[[contributing-test-code]]
+=== Contributing Test Code
+
+Tests are also code.
+They can assess:
+
+* product source
+* product executables
+* documentation source
+* converted docs output
+
+Contributors are welcome to add tests for existing code or docs, or to improve existing tests.
+
+This includes unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests.
+It also includes demo environments and sample data used for testing.
+
+Look for a `specs/tests/README.adoc` file or similar in the repository for local guidance on testing frameworks and practices.
+
+
+[[contributor-license-agreement-cla]]
+== Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
+
+All contributions to DocOps Lab projects must comply with our link:{xref_docs_cla_url}[CLA].
+
+This Agreement ensures that contributions are made under a consistent license, protecting both contributors and the project.
+
+All contributors should read the whole Agreement, which is very brief and simple, but here is a listing of the key points that pertain to contributors' rights and responsibilities:

+= DocOps Lab Generative "`AI`" Guidance
+include::../../README.adoc[tag=globals]
+
+DocOps Lab is sensitive to the impact of generative AI on many aspects of modern life.
+These concerns include impacts on human psychology, professional community, and even the totality of digital output.
+
+[NOTE]
+We are separately worried about the impact these technologies on employment.
+But as a volunteer-only operation, we are actually more concerned in that regard about the impact of being a volunteer-run producer of open source material, which we yet believe we can justify.
+
+While we have myriad other ethical concerns about the subject of AI in general, this document focuses specifically on the use of large language models (LLMs) and similar tools to generate code and content that DocOps Lab eventually _publishes_.
+
+
+[[non-publishing]]
+== Policy for Non-publishing AI Usage
+
+DocOps Lab approves of and offers no caveats about LLM usage that automates rote tasks and chores that do not create output to be published.
+We acknowledge our marginal contribution to resource usage and environmental impact, but so far we believe it is justified.
+Maybe someday this topic will get a better treatment, but for now it must suffice that we are _not_ against LLM usage on these grounds at this time.
+
+Likewise, there are many negative aspects of this technology that simply do not apply to our usage of it.
+
+We _are_ concerned with LLM usage that replaces human interaction, which is more appropriately subject to an AI policy.
+Therefore, we strive to never use these tools to stand-in for people we have access to and should instead be reaching out to directly.
+
+As a matter of principle, we also do _not_ share AI-generated code or content with coworkers or fellow professionals without notifying them of how the bot/agent/etc contributed to it.
+
+We _do_ use AI tools to perform onerous, repetitive, time-consuming tasks that pretty much anyone could perform, given enough time and support.
+In our case, we cannot hire someone to do that work anyway, and honestly we don't want to pay people just to do the work we like least.
+
+We also judiciously use AI to help organize our work and workflows, and we use it to generate code and content we do not share with the world.
+
+DocOps Lab will likely develop clearer policies about non-content, non-coding, non-publishing use of AI tools, but for now we encourage pro-social protocols that favor human interaction wherever possible.
+If allowance for AI assistance enables more people to get involved, the social gain will be worth the known downsides of current AI technology.
+
+The rest of this document is about the use of LLMs to generate text or code content that actually gets shared with the broader world, including coworkers and colleagues, as well as future model training and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) libraries.
+
+
+[[llm-assisted-publishing]]
+== LLM-assisted _Publishing_ Policy
+
+// tag::tldr[]
+DocOps Lab does not share _unreviewed_ AI output with the outside world, period.
+Such matter is kept from public code repositories, documentation sites, and the rest of our public footprint.
+
+// end::tldr[]
+
+Whether we are talking about generated examples, tables, code tests, configurations, Bash scripts, sentences of prose, or anything else that gets committed to a codebase and/or shared with the public and future LLMs, we _put human eyes on it_ and _stand by it_ with reasonable confidence.
+
+We do this _before_ pushing it even for final human review; it should not be up to reviewers to detect and question potentially AI-generated matter.
+
+.Why share LLM-generated content at all?
+****
+This policy statement may cause you to wonder why DocOps Lab would contribute any LLM-assisted code or docs to the world.
+Why not just use a `robots.txt` file to deny LLMs access to our repos and docs?
+
+Truthfully, we have no choice.
+We make the kind of software people engage LLMs to use.
+If the LLMs can't learn about our products, they are of no help -- or worse yet, they'll be more likely to hallucinate "`help`" that frustrates our users.
+
+Also, admittedly, we need LLM assistance to get the work done, both in terms of quantity and quality.
+If they don't help, our software and docs would not ship in the first place.
+
+But in addition, as a better defense, our policy is that we only share _improved_ output, at least compared to what we could do before or without this technology.
+In the end, we think this is a _positive contribution_, not a drag or anything drifting toward "`Internet death`" or "`model decay`" or "`sloppification`".
+
+We use it distinctly and with care, and it seems to improve our output; yes in terms of _quantity_, but without sacrificing and hopefully enhancing _quality_.
+****
+
+[[review-criteria]]
+=== Review Criteria for Publicly Released Matter
+
+// tag::tldr[]
+As a general rule of thumb, everything we produce that is affected by AI must have been _enhanced or improved_ by the AI's contributions.
+
+// end::tldr[]
+
+While this can apply to content we would not otherwise have created, finalized, or published, even in such cases we must apply due diligence.
+It's not enough that we can generate output that "`looks good enough`" or "`works well enough`" -- it has to _be good_.
+
+// tag::tldr[]
+By this, we mean AI output should be at least _as good as or better than_ output we would be able to produce without those tools.
+We *do not release code or content that is inferior*, compared to what we can produce ourselves, in terms of:
+
+* accuracy
+* clarity
+* logic
+* style
+* humanity
+* security
+* maintainability
+* compliance with standards or best practices
+// end::tldr[]
+
+If we cannot confidently assert that the AI-assisted output meets or exceeds our own capabilities in these areas, we must either improve it further or refrain from releasing it altogether.
+
+[[example-cases]]
+=== Example Cases
+
+Unit and regression tests::
++
+--
+Automated tests are probably the most sensitive case type so far.
+This is frankly because we are not that great at writing unit tests; they may not have gotten written at all if not for LLM assistance.
+
+This poses a risk that we are publishing sub-par tests that LLMs might then learn from and propagate.
+We are committed to improving these tests over time, but for now they receive non-expert evaluation for basic adequacy.
+Our tests are not making the broad body of testing practices better, but hopefully they are not poisoning the well significantly.
+--
+
+Redundant code or content::
+The material that is most likely to inadvertently violate this policy is that which goes unreviewed holistically in the context of the larger project, often specifically because an LLM has produced something that we do not realize is duplicative.
+For example, sometimes an LLM will produce a block of code that is redundant, and we will not notice.
+Similarly, LLMs sometimes repeat a sentence or phrase from higher up in the page; we review it and it's correct and seems important, but we don't realize it's already been stated.
+This kind of stuff is particularly hard to lint for, as well.
++
+To be fair, this is a common kind of error in these types of projects even when no LLMs are involved.
+People only marginally better than LLMs at keeping track of and detecting repetitive logic and content.
+
+[[documentation-disclosure]]
+=== Documentation and Disclosure
+
+Every project's `README.adoc` file should include a disclosure statement if any part of the content was generated by tools that fall into the broad category of "`artificial intelligence`".
+
+People who work with open source repositories and educational material have a right to know how and in what ways any authored material was influenced by non-human, non-idempotent "`contributors`".

+
+Making true *operators* out of professional writers and document wranglers is the *DocOps Lab mission*.
+
+toc::[]
+
+
+[[docops-lab-philosophy]]
+== DocOps Lab Philosophy
+
+DocOps Lab is a *problem-solving philosophy* that employs _tech_ (_technologies_ and _techniques_) to optimize the way professionals create, manage, and publish digital documents with complex sourcing, processing, and delivery requirements.
+
+*Document operators* are people who employ the techniques and technologies preferred by programmers when it comes to the documentation they rely on and are responsible for.
+
+This section explores _exemplary_ tech, as well as further *principles* used to evaluate solutions.
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+The <> and <> in this document are representative rather than exhaustive, and they are subject to change over time.
+The <>, however, are foundational and may evolve but should be definitive, enduring, and difficult to undo.
+
+[[conventions]]
+=== Conventions
+
+Problem-solving _techniques_ are generally known to DocOps Lab as _conventions_, broken down into two types: <> and <>.
+
+[[strategies]]
+==== Strategies
+
+Approaches to addressing general problems at scale serve to guide assessment and analysis, mapping solutions to entire documentation sets by organizing, categorizing, versioning, and other broad sets of techniques.
+
+.Examples of DocOps strategies
+====
+* To [.problem]_map docs to product versions_, use a [.solution]_framework for grouping and categorizing_ types of divergence in both the deployed/delivered product and the documentation output.
+* To enable authors to indicate and readers to readily [.problem]_identify the purpose of a piece of information_, use [.solution]*semantic typing* for documents/topics, blocks, and inline elements.
+* To [.problem]_store, define, and manage "`small data`"_ for configurations, component profiling, and so forth, use Git-trackable, text-editable [.solution]*flat files*.
+* To turn [.problem]_complex data into rich documents_, use [.solution]*dynamic templates* that blend data with document markup.
+====
+
+[[tactics]]
+==== Tactics
+
+Specific methods for implementing strategies.
+
+.Examples of DocOps tactics
+====
+* *Version-mapping* tactics:
+** Use *SemVer* for sequential changes/releases.
+** Use *editions* for parallel versions of products and docs.
+** Use *localization* for international translations and regional variants.
+
+* *Semantic typing* tactics:
+** Use *AsciiDoc* in particular ways for semantic authoring, such as *inline roles*.
+** Apply our hybrid *Ditataxis* categorization to define and organize document collections.
+
+* *Flat-file data* tactics:
+** Use *YAML* for configuration and profiling data.
+** Use *CSV* for tabular data.
+** Use *Google Sheets* to edit tabular data.
+
+* *Dynamic templating* tactics:
+** Use *Liquid* templates and engine to blend data into document markup.
+** Use *Regular Expressions* patterns to extract and filter data from logs.
+====
+
+[[tooling]]
+=== Tooling
+
+Problem-solving _technologies_ generally fall under the umbrella category of "`tooling`", which is industry jargon for software, including _how it is scripted and configured_.
+
+[[utilities]]
+==== Utilities
+
+Hands-on tools that enable day-to-day authoring and management operations.
+
+.Examples of DocOps utilities
+====
+* *Git* for version control.
+* *Docker* for containerized environments.
+* *VS Code* for text editing.
+* *Pandoc* for migrating to standardized formats.
+====
+
+[[automation]]
+==== Automation
+
+Scripted routines and always-available platforms that execute common tasks in a predictable manner.
+
+.Examples of DocOps automation
+====
+* *GitHub Actions* for continuous integration and deployment.
+* *Rake* and *Bash* for task-level automation.
+* *Vale* for text/markup linting.
+* *Jekyll* for static-site generation.
+* *Redocly CLI* for OpenAPI rendering.
+====
+
+[[principles]]
+=== Principles
+
+When it comes to evaluating, selecting, and innovating on conventions and tooling, DocOps Lab applies a set of principles that guide our decisions and practices.
+
+Unlike the conventions and tooling, these principles are relatively exhaustive, definitive, and immutable, especially in combination with <>.
+
+[[accessibility]]
+==== Usability
+
+DocOps Lab emphasizes tools and techniques that non-expects can grasp and use effectively and without intensive training.
+Operators will still need to be comfortable with technology, but they do not need to know anything about _programming_ to get started.
+
+In fact, DocOps Lab tools are _not_ for programmers or developers, other than how they may incidentally or by design overlap with their particular needs.footnote:[DocOps CLIs and APIs are meant to be integrated with other applications, usually by programmers or IT personnel, but the main user base for all our projects is _digital document professionals_, which of course includes programmers.]
+
+We specialize in tools with:
+
+* low-code or no-code interfaces
+* sensible command-line interfaces
+* YAML-based configuration
+* lightweight markup languages
+* text transformation by templating
+* scriptable with YAML- and Liquid-based DSLs (domain-specific languages)
+
+While full-fledged scripting languages and programming environments are a robust fallback for DocOps platforms, DocOps Lab focuses on maximizing the range of what can be accomplished with minimal coding and straightforward configuration.
+
+The principle of usability also means *accessibility* in the more traditional sense.
+At this time, true accessibility is a goal rather than a reality for DocOps Lab, but we are working to make our tooling truly open to people with disabilities.
+
+[[reusability]]
+==== Reusability
+
+DocOps approaches will work in more than one place with only circumstantial modifications.
+
+This is a core approach to software development, but it is also a key principle of technical documentation and formal documents at all levels.
+
+Reusability implies DRY ("`Don't Repeat Yourself`") in terms of content, data, and configuration.
+
+It also means that the same tools and conventions can be used across different projects, industries, and problem spaces.
+
+This principle broadly covers *universality*, *portability*, and *repeatability*.
+Basically, tools need to be able to work equally in a wide range of environments and circumstances.
+
+Our commitment to containerization (with Docker, etc) is a key part of this principle, as it allows users to run the same environment anywhere Docker is supported.
+
+[[interoperability]]
+==== Interoperability
+
+Similar to some of the sub-principles of reusability, interoperability means technology and techniques that fit and work together in a cohesive manner.
+
+DocOPs favors tool integration and data exchange mechanisms that enable seamless workflows across different systems.
+This also means _effective_ compatibility across operating systems (Windows, MacOS, and Linux).
+
+.Examples of DocOps interoperability
+====
+* *Git* and *GitHub* for version control of document sources, tooling configurations, scripted automation, and rendered artifacts.
+* *LiquiDoc* and *Jekyll* standardize around Liquid, YAML, and AsciiDoc generation, also supporting Markdown, JSON, CSV, and other formats.
+* *OpenAPI* format for REST API documentation, as it is an open standard that also uses YAML and covers nearly everything HTTP interfaces can do, and numerous tools can generate output from it in various forms.
+====
+
+The goal of interoperability is a smooth experience with the shortest possible toolchain and technology stack.
+
+[[extensibility]]
+==== Extensibility
+
+Tools and conventions that can be extended, configured, or otherwise customized to meet highly specific yet unforeseen needs without substantially altering the prime source of tooling or documentation.
+Users should always be able to make changes that _build upon_ rather than alter the upstream source.
+
+What works in one peculiar use case should be adaptable to others.
+
+.Example of DocOps extensibility
+======
+DocOps Lab maintains a "`content typing`" system which itself extends both the Diátaxis and the DITA topic typing systems.
+This "`Ditataxis++`" system defines a set of standard content types and subtypes, each with its own purpose, structure, and conventions.
+
+[%collapsible]
+.Continue reading this example of extensibility
+====
+For a downstream user to add, remove, or change a content type, they simply create a new YAML file that conforms to the open-standard format for defining semantical taxonomies.
+This way they can use DocOps Lab software to apply their local patches and produce documentation and even linter code that leverages the whole collection of content types, to be included in a style guide and even automated docs testing.
+
+In fact, the same library provides the same kind of definitional data for the original DITA and Diátaxis systems, so any team can select a standard through simple configuration and use it instead of our preferred Ditataxis++.
+====
+======
+
+Extensibility also includes *scalability*.
+Solutions must be able to grow along with the teams and enterprises that use them, in terms of complexity and sheer amounts of content or contributors.
+
+Whenever possible, extensibility should not cost any more than the labor required to implement and use the changes.
+
+[[innovation]]
+==== Innovation
+
+When conventions and tools are not enough, we innovate.
+For DocOps Lab, this is the _extensibility_ of our own approach: modify and build upon what exists to accommodate new challenges.
+
+Innovation means developing new methods and/or technologies that _extend_ our current conventions and tools.
+Whenever possible, these solutions should broadly accommodate or modularly integrate with other approaches and toolchains.
+That is to say, solutions should always meet the other principles.
+
+Innovation also means doing things differently _when appropriate_; it means not being afraid to break out of conventions and standards that have grown inadequate or obsolete.
+Favoring a trusty standard makes sense until you find it simply too constraining.
+
+
+[[methods]]
+== DocOps Lab Commitments
+
+DocOps Lab adheres to radically open principles.
+
+For the DocOps Lab mission, developing and propagating conventions, tooling, and the skills to execute them absolutely requires a wide-open program of collaboration and sharing.
+
+Your organization may have different priorities and constraints, but DocOps Lab commits to these methods as a matter of principle so users and contributors can count on them.
+
+[[foss]]
+=== Free, Open-Source (Tools and Docs)
+
+All of the tools we develop, and nearly all of the tools we use or recommend{fn}footnote:[Some platforms we use or recommend MAY offer paid plans, and their offerings may not be fully open source, but in all cases such providers are strongly open-source _supportive_.], are fully free and open-source software (FOSS).
+
+This goes for the documentation we produce, too.
+You are welcome to reuse and repurpose it to whatever end you see fit, with attribution but no requirement to re-share what you do with it.
+
+Unrelated third parties can even use our course content to teach their own classes, even charge a fee, so long as they credit the content appropriately.
+
+[[open-standards]]
+=== Open Standards
+
+Industries and professions that eschew proprietary methods and adopt open standards see greater integration, interoperability, innovation, and adoption of best practices{fn}footnote:[On the difference between open _source_ and open _standards_: https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/open-standards-vs-open-source-explanation ]footnote:[On the _efficacy_ of open standards: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/open-source-software-and-open-standards/ and {41pcouncil_pdf_url} (PDF).].
+
+Our interoperability and extensibility principles depend almost entirely on open standards.
+And while we cannot claim DocOps Lab never eschews an established standard over a preferred or even custom alternative, at least we only ever introduce new _open_ standards, and we only make our own when the leading solution really does not suffice for our needs.
+
+.Example of DocOps open standards
+====
+Advanced documentation systems tend to need to point to data objects inside flat files (JSON, YAML, etc).
+There are (at least) three competing open standards for this: JSON Pointer, JSON Path, and JMESPath.
+
+DocOps Lab is introducing a standard called URIx, which is a universal way to use _any of these three_ standards to indicate data, whether it be in the same files as the reference, inside a local file, or inside a remote file.
+====
+
+[[open-education]]
+=== Open Education
+
+DocOps Lab is committed to _teaching_ the principles and practices of docs-as-code to as many people as possible.
+This is the whole purposes of the Docs-as-Code School project: _using_ DocOps tech to _teach_ DocOps tech.
+
+All course content is openly licensed for anyone to use, adapt, and repurpose -- you can even teach it yourself, modified or unmodified.
+
+The only thing we charge for is real-time access to instructors and professional mentors.
+All content, including some that is student generated, will remain freely available.
+
+[[open-community]]
+=== Open Community
+
+For DocOps Lab, community is the least defined element with the greatest potential.
+_Everyone_ can impact this part.
+
+There is a link:https://docopslab.zulipchat.com[Zulip chat group], GitHub discussions, and a broader community with Write the Docs, its international conferences, local chapters, and vibrant Slack community.
+There are even the GitHub Issues boards on our repositories.
+
+However community pans out for DocOps/docs-as-code broadly and those participating in DocOps Lab in particular, openness and active participation are surely the keys to success.
+
+Talking about DocOps Lab projects _is contributing_.
+The {xref_docs_contributing_link} applies to _everyone_ who participates.

+= AsciiDoc Syntax Style Guide
+
+== Inline Syntax
+
+=== Inline Semantics
+
+The main purpose of inline semantics is to provide a clear indication of the role of the text to the reader -- including artificial readers.
+
+We can convey semantics by way of:
+
+* declaration by element, role, or class
+* text style based on declaration
+* browser effects based on declaration and additional data
+
+We use the following inline semantic coding in DocOps Lab publications.
+
+// include::built/inline-semantics.adoc[]
+
+=== Syntax Preferences
+
+Use inline semantics liberally, even if you only insert the heavier syntax on a second or third pass.
+
+Formatting with simple `+++*+++`, `_`, and `+++`+++` characters on first drafting makes lots of sense -- or even missing some of these altogether until the second pass.
+
+But before you merge new text documents into your codebase, add role-based inline semantics wherever they are supported.
+
+Let the reader know and make use of special text, most importantly any *verbatim inline text*.
+// TODO: Add link to Docs-as-Code School lesson on "Inline Semantics" when available
+// link:[See the Docs-as-Code School lesson "`Inline Semantics`" for more.]
+
+Even if you are not ready to add such fine-grained tests to your pipeline, consider the value of having all your commands for a given runtime app labeled ahead of time (such as `.app-ruby`), and the advantage to the reader, as well.
+
+== Block Syntax
+
+// tag::block-semantics[]
+=== Block Semantics
+
+Use semantic indicators deliberately.
+
+The more you assert about a block of text you are writing, the better the placement and content of that block will be.
+
+Semantic assertions reside in the source markup, which may convey means of interpreting that same data visually in the output, as an indication to the reader.
+
+For instance, _warning_ admonitions should only deliver warning content, and the user should clearly see that a warning is interrupting the flow of the content in which it appears.
+
+// tag::warning-example-good[]
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[WARNING]
+====
+Avoid misusing or overusing admonition blocks.
+====
+--------
+// end::warning-example-good[]
+
+Semantic notations in our source remind us to treat the content properly.
+
+// tag::warning-example-bad[]
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[WARNING]
+====
+Avoid misusing or overusing admonition blocks.
+This will be hypocritically violated throughout this guide.
+====
+--------
+// end::warning-example-bad[]
+
+True as it may be, the second sentence in that admonition should be removed from the block.
+It can either be its own block, or it can be allowed to fade into the surrounding content.
+
+Sometimes the entire admonition may end up deserving this treatment.
+
+=== Use Delimited Blocks
+
+Generally, use explicit boundary lines to wrap significant blocks, rather than relying on other syntax cues to establish the "`type`" of block is intended.
+These lines are called link:https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/blocks/delimited/#linewise-delimiters[_linewise delimiters_].
+
+For example, use the following syntax to wrap the contents of an admonition block:
+
+.Example admonition block syntax with linewise delimiter
+========
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[NOTE]
+====
+The content of an admonition block should be sandwiched between `====` lines.
+Use one-sentence-per-line even in admonitions.
+====
+--------
+========
+
+The standard linewise delimiters for various AsciiDoc blocks are as follows:
+
+// tag::delimited-blocks-reference[]
+[horizontal]
+`====`:: For _admonitions_ and _examples_
+`----`:: For code listing (verbatim) blocks
+`+++....+++`:: For literal (verbatim) blocks
+`+++****+++`:: For sidebar blocks
+`|===`:: For tables
+`+++____+++`:: For quote blocks
+`pass:[++++]`:: For raw/passthrough blocks
+`--`:: For open blocks
+// end::delimited-blocks-reference[]
+
+For code listings, literals, or really any block that might contain text that could be confused with the delimiter, vary the length by using a greater number of delimiter characters on the _outer_ block.
+
+.Example "`example`" block containing an admonition block
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[example]
+========
+[NOTE]
+====
+This is an example block containing an admonition block.
+====
+========
+--------
+
+==== Exception: Brief admonitions
+
+Some blocks do not require delimiters.
+In cases of _repeated_, _nearly identical_ blocks, containing just one line of content, you can use the _single-line_ syntax where it is available.
+
+.Example single-line admonition block syntax
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+NOTE: This is a single-line admonition block.
+--------
+
+Exception to this exception::
++
+--
+We do not recommend the same-line syntax for admonition blocks other than `NOTE` and `TIP`.
+For `IMPORTANT`, `CAUTION`, and `WARNING`, use at least the 2-line syntax, if not explicit delimiters.
+
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[IMPORTANT]
+This is a critical notice, but it's not warning you of danger.
+--------
+--
+
+==== Exception: Single-line terminal commands
+
+Another common case is 1-line terminal commands, for which this guide recommends using a literal block with a `prompt` role added.
+
+// tag::prompt-single-line[]
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[.prompt]
+ echo "Hello, world!"
+--------
+// end::prompt-single-line[]
+
+The single preceding space notation affirms the use of a literal block for any consecutive lines of content preceded by a single space.
+For multi-line terminal commands/output, use the `....` syntax to distinguish the block.
+
+==== Exception to the exceptions
+
+Whenever additional options must be set for a block, such as a title or role, use the linewise delimiter syntax -- even in one-liner cases.
+
+// tag::prompt-multiline[]
+[source,asciidoc]
+--------
+[.prompt,subs="+attributes"]
+....
+echo "Hello, {what}!"
+....
+--------
+// end::prompt-multiline[]
+
+=== Example Blocks
+
+Use example blocks liberally.
+If something fits the description of being an example -- especially if the words "`example`" or "`sample`" are used in the title, caption, or surrounding text referring to a given block of _anything_...
+then *wrap it in an example block*.
+
+Instances of the following block types may commonly be instances of examples, and just as commonly they may not be.
+
+* figures (diagrams, illustrations, screenshots)
+* tables
+* code listings
+* literal blocks (sample prompts, logs, etc)
+* rich-text snippets (rendered results, a user story, etc)
+
+Whenever any such instances _are examples_, prepend and append them with example blocks, and prefer to title them at the exampple-block level rather than the inner-content level.

+= Documentation Style Guide
+
+// tag::content[]
+DocOps Lab is an AsciiDoc shop.
+With a few exceptions, all technical documentation is sourced in AsciiDoc format using a particular (standards-compliant) syntax style.
+
+Structured/reference documentation is typically stored in YAML-formatted files, often with AsciiDoc-formatted text blocks.
+
+Some documentation in DocOps Lab projects is written in Markdown format, such as documents intended for AI consumption (such as for agent orientation/instruction or for RAG retrieval).
+
+
+[[automated-style-enforcement]]
+== Automated Style Enforcement
+
+DocOps Lab projects using the `docopslab-dev` tool automatically enforce documentation style guidelines.
+This is done using link:https://vale.sh[*Vale*], a prose and source-syntax linter.
+
+To check documentation style:
+
+.Check prose for style issues
+ bundle exec rake labdev:lint:text
+
+.Check for AsciiDoc markup syntax issues
+ bundle exec rake labdev:lint:adoc
+
+.Check both syntax markup _and_ prose
+ bundle exec rake labdev:lint:docs
+
+ifndef::audience-agent[]
+See {xref_docs_lab-dev-setup_link} for more on the `docopslab-dev` tool.
+For Vale configuration details, see <>.
+endif::[]
+
+DocOps Lab maintains a general-audience style guide in the AYL DocStack project repository and website.
+That guide is reproduced here.
+
+
+[[general-asciidoc-syntax-guidelines]]
+== General AsciiDoc Syntax Guidelines
+
+DocOps Lab documentation largely follows the conventions outlined in the link:https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-recommended-practices/[Recommended Practices] andlink:https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-writers-guide/[Writer's Guide] documents maintained by the Asciidoctor project.
+
+
+Reinforcements and exceptions:
+
+* Use `.adoc` extensions _execpt_ for Liquid templates used to render AsciiDoc files, which use `.asciidoc`.
+* Use one sentence per line formatting.
+** Let hard-returns signal spaces between sentences.
+** Also do this for major colon- or semicolon-delimited sentences.
+* Use ATX-style titles and section headings.
+* For DRYness, use attributes for common URLs and paths (see <>).

+
+[[attribute-formatting]]
+=== Attribute Formatting
+
+AsciiDoc attributes are often used to store reusable matter.
+In certain contexts, attributes should follow a formatting convention that makes them easier to name and recall.
+
+[[boolean-attributes]]
+==== Boolean Attributes
+
+Use toggles to set or conditionalize states such as:
+
+* intended audience type or role
+** `audience-agent`
+** `audience-beginner`
+** ``
+* target platform or format
+** `env-github`
+** `site-gen-jekyll`
+** `backend-pdf`
+
+These kinds of attributes are passed depending on how the AsciiDoc is converted.
+Platform and format indicators tend to get argued by the converter at runtime.
+
+But you can also look check for statuses that might be set in previous files depending on the use-case of the output.
+
+.Testing for _existence_ of a target platform
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+\ifdef::audience-level-beginner[]
+As a beginner, you will see extra content in parts of this guide.
+
+If you are an expert, skip to the <>.
+\endif::[]
+----
+
+.Testing for _non-existence_ of a target audience type.
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+\ifndef::audience-agent[]
+This content is _not_ to appear in docs generated for AI agents.
+\endif::[]
+----
+
+It is generally advised to create two versions of any such indicator that may need to be resolve a variable placeholder later.
+
+.Setting open-ended key and boolean simultaneously
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+:audience-level: beginner
+:audience-level-beginner: true
+
+Later we can reference the {audience-level}, which might be overwritten by an attribute passed at runtime.
+----
+
+[[url-attributes]]
+==== URL Attributes
+
+Format URL-storing attributes like so:
+
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+:syntax_area_descriptive-slug_form:
+----
+
+Where:
+
+* `syntax_` is one of
+** `href_` (external)
+** `xref_` (local)
+** none (skip it -- presumed to be a straight URL)
+* `area_` is a component or category like `docs_` or `pages_`, mainly to ensure unique slugs across divisions
+* `form` is the way the resource is presented:
+** `link` (includes linked text _and_ the URL)
+** `url` (just the URL)
+
+.Examples
+[source,asciidoc,subs=none]
+----
+:docopslab_hub_url: https://github.com/DocOps
+:href_docopslab_aylstack_url: {docopslab_hub_url}/aylstack/
+:href_docopslab_aylstack_link: link:{href_docopslab_aylstack_url}[AYL DocStack]
+----
+
+// TODO: Add Path attributes and a few others
+
+
+[[config-vale]]
+== Vale Configuration and Usage
+
+Vale configuration and styles are managed in coordination with the link:`docopslab-dev` gem.
+
+Our implementation of Vale allows for local project overrides while maintaining a centralized database of styles.

+description: "Style guide and best practices for writing Bash scripts in DocOps Lab projects"
+order: 67
+---
+= Bash Scripting Styles and Conventions
+include::../_local_settings.adoc[]
+
+A guide to writing clean, consistent, and maintainable Bash scripts, based on best practices.
+
+
+[[bash-version]]
+== Bash Version
+
+Use Bash 4.0 or later to take advantage of modern features like associative arrays and improved string manipulation.
+
+
+[[file-and-script-structure]]
+== File and Script Structure
+
+[[shebang]]
+=== Shebang
+
+Always start your scripts with a shebang.
+For scripts that require Bash-specific features, use `#!/usr/bin/env bash`.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+----
+
+[[script-header]]
+=== Script Header
+
+Include a header comment block at the top of your script.
+This block should briefly explain:
+
+* The script's purpose.
+* Any dependencies required to run it.
+* License information.
+* Usage examples or a pointer to more detailed documentation.
+
+[[code-organization]]
+=== Code Organization
+
+Structure your script into logical sections to improve readability.
+
+The preferred order is:
+
+. *Global Constants and Variables:*
+Define all global variables and constants at the top.
+
+. *Function Definitions:*
+Group all functions together.
+
+. *Argument Parsing:*
+Handle command-line arguments and flags.
+
+. *Main Logic:*
+The main execution block of the script.
+Often a `case` statement that dispatches commands.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+#
+# script-name
+#
+# Brief description of what the script does.
+# Depends on: curl, jq
+
+# --- GLOBAL VARIABLES ---
+readonly SCRIPT_VERSION="1.0.0"
+LOG_FILE="/var/log/script-name.log"
+
+# --- FUNCTION DEFINITIONS ---
+my_function() {
+ # ...
+}
+
+# --- ARGUMENT PARSING ---
+if [[ "$1" == "--help" ]]; then
+ # ...
+fi
+
+# --- MAIN LOGIC ---
+main() {
+ # ...
+}
+
+main "$@"
+----
+
+
+[[naming-conventions]]
+== Naming Conventions
+
+Global Variables and Constants::
+Use `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`. Use `readonly` for constants.
+* `readonly MAX_RETRIES=5`
+* `APP_CONFIG_PATH=".env"`
+
+Local Variables::
+Use `snake_case` and `local` declaration.
+* `local user_name="$1"`
+
+Function Names::
+Use `snake_case`.
+* `get_user_details()`
+
+
+[[variables-and-data]]
+== Variables and Data
+
+[[declaration-and-scoping]]
+=== Declaration and Scoping
+
+Always use `local` to declare variables inside functions.
+This prevents polluting the global scope and avoids unintended side effects.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+my_function() {
+ local file_path="$1" # Good: variable is local to the function
+ count=0 # Bad: variable is global by default
+}
+----
+
+[[quoting]]
+=== Quoting
+
+Always quote variable expansions (`"$variable"`) and command substitutions (`"$(command)"`) to prevent issues with word splitting and unexpected filename expansion (globbing).
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+# Good: handles spaces and special characters in filenames
+echo "$file_name"
+touch "$new_file"
+
+# Bad: will fail if file_name contains spaces
+echo $file_name
+touch $new_file
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+Files created by DocOps Lab should never include spaces, but this habit is important for dealing with user input or external data.
+
+[[arrays]]
+=== Arrays
+
+Use standard indexed arrays for lists of items.
+
+Use associative arrays (`declare -A`) for key-value pairs (i.e., maps).
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+# Indexed array
+local -a packages=("git" "curl" "jq")
+echo "First package is: ${packages[0]}"
+
+# Associative array
+declare -A user_details
+user_details["name"]="John Doe"
+user_details["email"]="john.doe@example.com"
+echo "User email: ${user_details["email"]}"
+----
+
+
+[[functions]]
+== Functions
+
+[[syntax]]
+=== Syntax
+
+Use the `function_name() { ... }` syntax for clarity.
+
+[[arguments]]
+=== Arguments
+
+Access arguments using positional parameters (`$1`, `$2`, etc.).
+Use `"$@"` to forward all arguments.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+log_message() {
+ local level="$1"
+ local message="$2"
+ echo "[$level] $message"
+}
+
+log_message "INFO" "Process complete."
+----
+
+[[returning-values]]
+=== Returning Values
+
+*To return a string or data*, use `echo` or `printf` and capture the output using command substitution.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+get_user_home() {
+ local user="$1"
+ # ... logic to find home directory ...
+ echo "/home/$user" # Returns string via stdout
+}
+----
+
+*To return a status*, use `return` with a numeric code. `0` means success, and any non-zero value (`1-255`) indicates failure.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+check_file_exists() {
+ if [[ -f "$1" ]]; then
+ return 0 # Success
+ else
+ return 1 # Failure
+ fi
+}
+----
+
+
+[[conditionals]]
+== Conditionals
+
+Use `[[ ... ]]` for conditional tests.
+It is more powerful, prevents many common errors, and is easier to use than the older `[ ... ]` or `test` builtins.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+# Good
+if [[ "$name" == "admin" && -f "$config_file" ]]; then
+ # ...
+fi
+
+# Avoid
+if [ "$name" = "admin" -a -f "$config_file" ]; then
+ # ...
+fi
+----
+
+For dispatching based on a command or option, `case` statements are often cleaner than long `if/elif/else` chains.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+case "$command" in
+ build)
+ build_image
+ ;;
+ run)
+ run_container
+ ;;
+ *)
+ echo "Error: Unknown command '$command'" >&2
+ exit 1
+ ;;
+esac
+----
+
+
+[[error-handling]]
+== Error Handling
+
+* Use `set -o errexit` (or `set -e`) at the top of your script to make it exit immediately if a command fails.
+* Use `set -o pipefail` to cause a pipeline to fail if any of its commands fail, not just the last one.
+* Print error messages to standard error (`stderr`).
+* Exit with a non-zero status code on failure.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -o errexit
+set -o pipefail
+
+echo "Error: Something went wrong." >&2
+exit 1
+----
+
+
+[[practices-to-avoid]]
+== Practices to Avoid
+
+[[avoid-eval]]
+=== Avoid `eval`
+
+The `eval` command can execute arbitrary code and poses a significant security risk if used with external or user-provided data.
+
+It also makes code difficult to debug.
+
+Avoid it whenever possible.
+Modern Bash versions provide safer alternatives like namerefs (`declare -n`) for indirect variable/array manipulation.
+
+[[avoid-backticks]]
+=== Avoid Backticks
+
+Use `+++$(...)+++` for command substitution instead of backticks (`+++`...`+++`).
+It is easier to read and can be nested.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+# Good
+current_dir="$(pwd)"
+
+# Avoid
+current_dir=`pwd`

+title: DocOps Lab CLI Style Guide
+docs-group: technical
+description: "Style guide and best practices for writing Ruby and Bash CLI utilities"
+order: 68
+---
+include::../_local_settings.adoc[]
+= Command-line Interface Styles
+
+DocOps Lab tooling revolves around command-line interfaces (CLIs).
+
+
+// tag::ruby-clis[]
+[[ruby-application-clis]]
+== Ruby Application CLIs
+
+These are the main interfaces we provide for users of our Ruby-based applications.
+
+Most of our Ruby CLIs are built with the Thor CLI framework.
+
+[[ruby-cli-models]]
+=== Ruby CLI Models
+
+Thor-based CLIs generally follow this model:
+
+ cliapp [subcommand] [arguments] [options]
+
+Where both `subcommand` and `arguments` are optional, as of course are options.
+
+[[cligraphy-the-future]]
+=== CliGraphy (the Future)
+
+Eventually, DocOps Lab will integrate our language-agnostic CliGraphy proper extension of Thor for defining Ruby CLIs.
+At that point, our CLIs will be _defined_ before they are programmed, using CliGraphy to model the command-line interface in a structured way.
+
+CliGraphy definitions will be coded in YAML-formatted documents, similar to an OpenAPI documents (OAD).
+This particular form of CFGYML will be called CLI YAML-based Modeling Language (CLIYML).
+
+// end::ruby-clis[]
+
+
+// tag::rake-clis[]
+[[rake-clis]]
+== Rake CLIs
+
+We use Rake for internal repo tasks and chores, including build operations, test-suite execution, unconventional testing, code linting and cleanup, etc.
+
+Users of our released products should never be asked to use `rake` commands during the normal course of daily operations, if ever.
+
+Rake is less versatile than Thor, but it is simpler for executing straightforward methods and series of methods.
+It likewise requires (and permits) considerably less application-specific creativity and customization.
+
+Innovative UIs are not justified for internal tooling.
+Our developer-facing utilities are fairly robust, but the UI for executing them need not be.
+
+At DocOps Lab, we save inventive interfaces for domain-optimized operations.
+
+[[rake-cli-model]]
+=== Rake CLI Model
+
+ rake domain:action:target[option1,option2]
+
+Where both `domain`` and `target` are optional, as of course are arguments that go in the braces.
+
+Think of the domain as a component "`scope`" within the codebase or project.
+
+Domains either indicate a distinct module or component within the codebase or general tasks using upstream dependencies.
+
+No domain means local, project-specific tasks.
+
+.Example 3-part task with an optional argument
+ rake labdev:lint:docs[README.adoc]
+
+In the above case, the domain is from the `docopslab-dev` library/gem.
+
+.Example 3-part task with a local domain reference
+ rake gemdo:build
+
+The above command has a local domain `gemdo` for referencing commands that affect a gem that happens to be embedded in a larger repo.
+A code repo containing more than one gem might use:
+
+....
+rake gemdo:build:gemname
+....
+
+// end::rake-clis[]
+
+
+// tag::bash-clis[]
+[[bash-clis]]
+== Bash CLIs
+
+Bash scripts are often used for simple CLIs that wrap around more complex operations.
+Most repo-wide chores that do not require specialized Ruby-based tools like Asciidoctor or other gems are handled with Bash scripts
+(The significant exception to this are multi-repo libraries like the link:{xref_docs_lab-dev-setup_url}[DocOps Lab Devtool].)
+
+The one truly major Bash CLI we maintain is `docksh`, our Docker shell utility for launching properly configured containers for development, testing, and deployment (sourced in `box`).
+
+[[bash-cli-model]]
+=== Bash CLI Model
+
+Base CLIs are relatively open ended.
+Developers should consider how the script might change, but unless it is intended to be elaborate from the start, there is not much reason to fuss over complicated structures.
+
+TIP: See {xref_docs_bash-styles_link} for details about implementing Bash CLIs.
+
+Let's examine our typical Bash script CLI structure:
+
+ ./bashscript.sh [arguments] [options]
+
+If a Bash script is likely to eventually need to encompass multiple arguments or options, consider making it a Rake task and invoking Ruby scripts, instead.
+
+// end::bash-clis[]
+
+
+// tag::general-cli-principles[]
+[[general-cli-principles]]
+== General CLI Principles
+
+Most of our user-facing applications are Ruby gems, and most of those are intended to be used via three primary interfaces:
+
+. An application specific, openly designed CLI utility.
+. An application configuration file.
+. Subject-matter content or domain-specific data of some kind.
+
+By way of these three interfaces, users can operate the application in a way that is optimized for their particular use case.
+
+CLIs should allow for runtime configuration overrides and even runtime content/data overrides.
+But most of all they should focus on conveniently putting power in users' hands.
+
+This means leaving the CLI model open to the task at hand, but it also means adhering to some conventions that apply generally to both Ruby and Bash CLIs.
+
+[[dont-cli]]
+=== When NOT to Use a CLI
+
+Even when an application offers a mature, well-designed CLI, there are times when either an application programming interface (API) or a domain-specific language (DSL) is preferable.
+Typically we want to keep complicated shell commands out of core products and CI/CD pipelines, in favor of native or RESTful APIs or else config-driven or DSL-driven utilities.
+
+[[semantic-cli-namespaces]]
+=== Semantic CLI Namespaces
+
+When designing CLIs, consider the namespaces of the elements we use: subcommands, arguments, and options/flags.
+
+Subcommands should be verbs or nouns that declare operations or contexts.
+At each position, these elements should be organizable into meaningful categories.
+
+Arguments should be meaningful nouns that represent the primary _subject or subjects_ of the command.
+
+[[general-cli-conventions]]
+=== General CLI Conventions
+
+The definitive reference on CLI design is the link:https://clig.dev/[CLI Guidelines] project.
+
+[[option-format]]
+==== Option format
+
+Use spaces rather than `=` to assign values to options.::
+Flag forms such as `--option-name value` are preferred over `--option-name=value`.
+
+Provide long- and short- form flag aliases for common options.::
+For ex: `-h` and `--help`, `-c` and `--config`.
+
+Use `--no-` prefix for negated boolean flags when applicable.::
+For ex: `--no-cache` to disable caching.
+
+[[command-structure]]
+==== Command structure
+
+Use subcommand only with apps that perform categorically diverse operations,::
+Prefer flag combinations when possible.
+Subcommands signal a shift in execution context, and thus they can be greatly helpful when needed.
+Otherwise, reserve the first argument slot for something a meaningful arbitrary argument.
++
+.A CLI with very handy subcommands
+ git fetch
+ git commmit
+ git merge
++
+.No subdomain needed
+ rhx 1.2.1 --config test-config.yml --mapping apis/jira.yml --verbose --fetch --yaml
+ rhx 1.2.1 --config test-config.yml --html
++
+And yes, of course you can combine fixed subdomains with arbitrary arguments.
++
+ git diff README.adoc
+
+Avoid using Unix-style argument structures.::
+Arbitrary arguments should come _before_ options, even if that is counter-intuitive.
+Typically in our apps, users are modifying commands that get executed on the same target, so if the target is an arbitrary file path or version number, it should closely follow the command as an early argument.
++
+.Preferred argument order
+ cliname targetfile --option1 value1 --option2 value2 --verbose --force
++
+This structure lets users more conveniently change the parts of the command-line that will need more frequent changing.
+
+Accommodate Unix-style CLIs by adding named options for every arbitrary argument supported.::
+The trick is to enable those cases where the subject path or code _is_ what gets changed most often.
++
+ rhx --yaml --version 1.2.6
+ rhx --yaml --version 1.3.1

+= Code Commenting Guidance
+
+// tag::content[]
+Employing good code commenting practices is more important than ever in the age of LLM-assisted programming.
+Existing comments are a model for future comments, and poor commenting hygiene is contagious.
+
+In order to maximize the usefulness of code comments for both human and AI readers, DocOps Lab projects follow specific commenting conventions, including purpose and style constraints.

+LLM-backed tools and linters are used to review comments and enforce adherence to these conventions, but developer attention is critical.

+To begin, we will standardize our understanding of what types of comments are applied to what kinds of code.
+
+[[kinds]]
+=== Kinds of Comments
+
+Code comments come in several distinct types.
+
+documentation::
+Code comments used to build downstream-facing reference docs for methods, classes, functions, data objects, and so forth.
++
+_Docstrings_ are specifically comments used in the generation of rich-text reference docs.
+That they also happen to "`document`" the code to which they are adjacent is secondary.
+
+expository::
+Code comments that explain the purpose or function of code blocks, algorithms, or complex logic, strictly in natural language.
+Also called "`inline comments`", these arbitrary remarks are mainly what is governed by this protocol guide.
+
+rationale::
+Comments that explain the reasoning behind a particular implementation choice, design pattern, or data structure.
+
+status::
+Stability and lifecycle markers: `DEPRECATED:`, `EXPERIMENTAL:`, `INTERNAL:`, `UNSTABLE:`.
+May also include planned removal dates, version gates, feature flags.
+
+admonition::
+Developer-facing warnings, notes, or tips embedded in code.
+Use `WARNING:`, `NOTE:`, and `TIP:` prefixes to mark these comments distinctly.
+
+task::
+Comments like `TODO:` and `FIXME:` are used to mark code that needs further work.
+
+instructional::
+Code comments left in template, stub, or sample files for interactive use.
+These comments tend to be intended for a downstream user who will interact directly with the file or one based on it.
+
+label::
+Comments that simply annotate sections of code by category or general purpose, to help with demarcation and navigation.
+These comments are usually brief and may use special formatting to stand out.
+
+directive::
+In some languages, we use special character patterns to signify that a comment has a special purpose, other than for generating reference docs.
+These comments may mark code for special parsing, content transclusion, or other operations.
++
+In AsciiDoc, comments like `// tag::example[]` and `// end::example[]` are used to mark content for inclusion elsewhere.
++
+The popular linter Vale recognizes HTML comments like `` and `` to disable and re-enable content linting.
+
+sequential/collection::
+Comments that number or order logical stages in a complex or lengthy process or members of a set.
+Usually something like `# STEP 1:`, `# PHASE 1:`, and so forth, or else `# GROUP A:`, `# SECTION 1:`, etc.
+Always use uppercase for these markers (ex: `# STEP:` not `# Step:`).
+
+[[code-flavors]]
+=== Flavors of Code
+
+Ruby::
+The most robust environment for code comments, Ruby supports RDoc/YARD-style documentation comments that can be used to generate reference documentation.
+See <> for more.
+
+Bash::
+We make extensive use of comments in Bash scripts, but Bash has no standard for documentation comments or structured comments.
+
+AsciiDoc::
+Comments in `.adoc` files tend to be labels, tasks, and directives (AsciiDoc tags).
+AsciiDoc files tend not to have expository comments, since the content is already documentation.
+
+YAML/SGYML::
+YAML files use copious label and instructional comments to help downstream users navigate and understand large or complex data structures.
+Comments can also be used to annotate nesting depth.
+See <> for more.
+
+Liquid::
+Our use of Liquid comments is inconsistent at best.
+Part of the problem is their terrible format with explicit `{% comment %}` and `{% endcomment %}` tags.
+While Liquid 5 has greatly improved that, DocOps Lab tooling is standardized on Liquid 4 at this time.
+
+HTML::
+We don't code much HTML directly.
+It is mostly either converted from lightweight markup or rendered by Liquid templates (or JavaScript).
+Comments are usually to mark nested objects for convenience, to label major structures or to highlight/clarify obscure asset references, or as directives such as ``, which disables content linting.
+
+JavaScript::
+We are not a JavaScript shop, but we do write a good bit of vanilla JavaScript.
+Comments are used mainly to establish our bearings in the code and therefor are sometimes heavier than with other languages.
+
+CSS/SCSS::
+We mainly write CSS as SCSS, and commenting is mainly to express the intent upon compiling.
+
+[[general-style-rules]]
+=== General Style Rules
+
+// tag::guidelines[]
+* Do not use em dashes or en dashes or (` - `).
+** Use colons (`: `) to prefix a comment with a classification.
+** Use semicolons (`; `) to break up clauses.
+* Use sentence-style capitalization.
+* Do not use terminal punctuation (periods, exclamation points, question marks) unless the comment is multiple sentences.
+// end::guidelines[]
+
+* Hard wrap comments around 110-120 characters.
+** Use one-sentence per line.
+** Try not to wrap anything _except_ full sentences.
+** When wrapping multi-line sentences, indent subsequent lines by an additional space.
+
+
+[[expository-comments]]
+== Expository Comments: Use and Abuse
+
+Arbitrary inline comments used to explain code should be used consistently and only when they add value.
+
+Arbitrary comments can _often_ add value, under an array of conditions that may be more art than science.
+We must be forgiving and understanding of occasional or even frequent misfires in various developers' subjective takes on what is useful.
+
+This guide exists to help with comment evaluation.
+
+[[expository-comment-principles]]
+=== Principles
+
+Expository comments (and their authors) should adhere to these principles:
+
+1) Express purpose, not implementation.::
+Comments should explain why code exists or what it is intended to do, rather than how it does it.
+(Rationale comments are available for explaining design/engineering choices, if necessary.)
+
+2) Summarize peculiar or complex implementation (without violating #1).::
+Expository comments may _include_ a _brief_ reference to an explicit design choice.
+Still not a _rationale comment_ (too brief, in passing) nor a _task comment_ (no further action prescribed), just a nod to an unusual or non-obvious implementation detail.
+
+3) Use natural, imperative language.::
+Comments should not contain code, and they should be formatted as English clauses or sentences.
+Comments should be phrased as commands or instructions, focusing on the action being performed, from the perspective of what the code is to do.
+
+4) Be concise.::
+Comments should be as brief as possible.
+Multi-sentence comments should be the exception.
+In fact, comments should not typically be complete sentences.
+
+5) Maintain relevance and accuracy.::
+Comments should be reviewed and updated as code changes to ensure they remain accurate and relevant.
+
+6) Never cover straightforward code (except...).::
+Not all blocks need comments at all.
+The main criterion is whether the code's purpose or function would not be _immediately_ clear from the code itself to a newcomer with beginner or intermediate knowledge of the language and little familiarity with the application architecture.
++
+Exception: Sometimes an oddity or pivotal point needs to be highlighted even in otherwise straightforward code.
+
+7} Do not use comments as notes to reviewers.::
+Temporary comments intended to guide code reviewers should be avoided.
+Code used to help with flag logical points or communicate during pair programming or pre-commit review should be denoted as admonitions (such as `# LOGIC: ` or `# REVIEW: `) or `# TEMP: ` and removed before merging.
+
+[[general-examples]]
+=== General Examples
+
+[[unnecessary-comments]]
+==== Unnecessary Comments
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Create destination directory if needed
+FileUtils.mkdir_p(File.dirname(target_path))
+----
+
+This code does _exactly and only_ what the English comment says.
+In fact, the comment is muddier than the code.
+The code will create any necessary parent directories, whereas the comment only mentions the destination directory itself and does not explain _if needed_.
+In `mkdor_p`, the _if needed_ means _if the ancestor directories do not exist_.
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Determine if we should copy the file
+file_existed_before_copy = File.exist?(target_path)
+----
+
+This comment is trying to explain the _purpose_ of the line it precedes, but this is unnecessary.
+The code itself merely sets a variable to a Boolean value.
+Not only is the direct purpose of the variable clear from its name and the code making up its value, but the purpose of the variable is only relevant in the context of later code that uses it.
+
+[[comments-that-add-value]]
+==== Comments that Add Value
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+end
+
+# Public helper methods accessible to LogIssue class
+
+def normalize_source_path source_file
+ normalized = source_file.gsub(/#excerpt$/, '').gsub(%r{/$}, '')
+ normalized.gsub(%r{^\./}, '')
+end
+
+def normalize_problem_path reported_path, source_file
+----
+
+A comment preceded and followed by blank lines indicates that it references or labels multiple subsequent blocks.
+(Or it is be part of a series of such comments that tend to and in its own case may yet still cover multiple blocks each.)
+
+This categorizes sections for user convenience.
+It also helps LLM-backed tools to find relevant sections more easily.
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Try to convert absolute path back to relative path
+if missing_path =~ %r{/home/[^/]+/[^/]+/work/[^/]+/(.+)$} ||
+ missing_path =~ %r{/([^/]+/[^/]+\.adoc)$}
+ @path = Regexp.last_match(1)
+end
+----
+
+Summarizing a complex Regex pattern is vital.
+Conveying the _intent_ of the pattern is far more important than explaining its mechanics.
+
+[[expository-comment-style]]
+=== Style
+
+Expository comments have a _subject_: the code they refer to, typically in the form of a line or block.
+In nearly all cases, comments should immediately precede the subject code.
+
+.Example of comment preceding subject code
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Validate all inputs individually
+inputs.each do |input|
+ # ...
+end
+----
+
+In some languages, comments can be placed inline.
+This should be used sparingly.
+
+We most commonly do this in YAML files.
+
+.Example of inline comment in YAML
+[source,yaml]
+----
+inputs: # List of inputs to validate
+ - input1
+ - input2
+----
+
+We also do this in JavaScript files.
+
+.Example of inline comment in JavaScript
+[source,js]
+----
+let count = calculated; // Start with the dynamic value
+----
+
+[[expository-comment-examples]]
+=== Examples
+
+.Good comment examples
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Calculate the factorial of a number using recursion
+
+# Handle the base case
+
+# Never call factorial with a negative number
+
+# Validate all inputs individually
+----
+
+Good comments are descriptive and purely abstract.
+They express an instruction and/or a principle to be adhered to or enforced within the subject block.
+
+.Bad comment examples (too simple/unnecessary)
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Initialize the result to 1
+
+# Loop through numbers from 1 to n
+
+# Return the result
+----
+
+.Bad comment examples (non-imperative form)
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Calculates the factorial of a number
+----
+
+
+[[protocols-by-language]]
+== Comment Protocols by Language
+
+[[ruby-comments]]
+=== Ruby Commenting Protocols
+
+All public-facing methods and classes should be documented with <>.
+
+For expository comments, follow the <> outlined above.
+
+[[ruby-api-comments]]
+==== API Documentation Comments
+
+Many of our Ruby gems provide public APIs that are documented using YARD.
+
+Private methods and classes may also be documented, but this is not required.
+
+Never describe a method just by what it returns or what parameters it takes.
+Describe what the method _does_ behind the scenes or what its summarized purpose.
+
+When documenting Ruby classes and methods with YARD, follow these patterns:
+
+class descriptions::
+Keep class descriptions focused on the class's primary responsibility and role within the system.
+Avoid overselling capabilities or implementation details.
+
+method descriptions::
+Lead with what the method accomplishes, not just its signature.
+Example: "Processes the provided attributes to populate Change properties" rather than "Initializes a new Change object."
+
+capitalization consistency::
+When referring to class objects conceptually or as an instance (not variable names), use CamelCase names.
+Use lowercase for most instances where the term refers to a real-world object or concept.
+
+voice consistency::
+Use descriptive, present-tense "`voice`" for API documentation and YARD comments.
+
+
+[[exceptions]]
+==== Exceptions
+
+On rare occasions, comments are used to denote deep nesting in large files.
+
+.Annotating `end` keywords that wrap up large blocks/statements
+[source,ruby]
+----
+ end # method my_method
+ end # class MyClass
+ end # module MyModule
+ end # module SuperModule
+end # module OurCoolGem
+----
+
+Whenever possible, even when deep nesting is warranted, keep files small enough that such labels won't be need, all else being equal.
+
+[[yaml-comments]]
+=== YAML Commenting Protocols
+
+YAML files often contain extensive comments to help users understand the structure and purpose of the data.
+
+Comments should be used to label sections, explain complex structures, and provide hints or assistance for downstream/later users populating data fields.
+
+.Examples of YAML comments
+[source,yaml]
+----
+# General data
+inputs:
+ - name: input1 # required
+ - name: input2 # optional
+config: # Settings for the application itself
+ setting1: value1 # Enable feature X (which is not called setting1 and thus needs translation)
+body: | # Use AsciiDoc format
+ This is content for the body of something.
+----
+
+We sometimes use comments to categorize a large Array or Map for navigation, even if the data is included in all members of the Array.
+
+.Example of YAML section label
+[source,yaml]
+----
+# POSTS
+- slug: first-post
+ title: My First Post
+ type: post
+
+- slug: second-post
+ title: My Second Post
+ type: post
+
+# - etc
+
+# PAGES
+- slug: about
+ title: About Me
+ type: page
+
+# - etc
+----
+
+This is used when it makes no sense to nest data under parent keys like `posts:` and `pages:`, yet users will still need to navigate through large collections.

+// tag::body[]
+DocOps Lab projects make extensive use of Docker.
+
+All runtime projects provide have their own Docker image hosted on Docker Hub and sourced in their own repo's `Dockerfile`.
+This way a reliable executable is available across all platforms and environments.
+
+Some of our CI/CD pipelines will be "`Dockerized`" to provide consistent builds and tests across numerous repos.
+
+The DocOps Box project maintains an elaborate Dockerfile and image/container management script (`docksh`) that can help manage multiple environments.
+This is most advantageous for non-Ruby/non-programmer users building a complex documentation codebase in the Ruby/DocOps Lab ecosystem or using multiple DocOps Lab or similar tools across numerous multiple codebases.
+
+
+[[application-dockerfiles-and-images]]
+== Application Dockerfiles and Images
+
+Each runtime application project has its own `Dockerfile` in the root of its repository.
+
+This Dockerfile defines the image that will be built and pushed to Docker Hub for use by anyone needing to run the application.
+
+[NOTE]
+Some Dockerfiles combine multiple applications, such as the link:{docopslab_hub_url}[issuer-rhx image], which combines both the Issuer and ReleaseHx applications.

+= Git Commits Style Guide
+// tag::commit-styles[]
+This document outlines the protocols for authoring Git commit messages in DocOps Lab projects.
+
+
+[[general-style]]
+== General Style (Conventional Commits)
+
+DocOps Lab _loosely_ follows the link:https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/[Conventional Commits] specification for Git commit messages.
+
+Enforcement is not strict, but using Conventional Commits style is encouraged for consistency and clarity.
+
+[NOTE]
+Most DocOps Lab projects do not base Changelog/Release Notes generation on commit messages.
+
+The basic outline for a Conventional Commit message is:
+
+....
+[optional scope]:
+
+[optional body]
+
+[optional footer(s)]
+....
+
+
+[[commit-description]]
+== Commit Description
+
+The commit description should be concise and to the point, summarizing the change in 50 characters or less.
+
+Use the _past tense_ rather than imperative mood (e.g., "Added feature X" instead of "Add feature X").
+
+
+[[commit-types]]
+== Commit Types
+// tag::commit-types[]
+* Use present-tense descriptive verbs ("`adds widget`", not "`added`" or "`add`")
+* `feat: ...` for new features OR improvements
+* `fix: ...` for bugfixes
+* `chore: ...` for version bumps and sundry tasks with no product impact
+* `docs: ...` for documentation changes
+* `test: ...` for test code changes
+* `refactor: ...` for code restructuring with no functional changes
+* `style: ...` for formatting, missing semi-colons, etc; no functional changes
+* `perf: ...` for performance improvements
+* `auto: ...` for changes to CI/CD pipelines and build system
+// end::commit-types[]
+
+
+[[commit-body-conventions]]
+== Commit Body Conventions
+// tag::body-conventions[]
+* Use the body to explain what and why vs. how.
+* Reference issues and pull requests as needed.
+* Use bullet points (`- text`) and paragraphs as needed for clarity.
+* Do not hard-wrap lines, but _do_:
+** use 1-sentence per line
+** keep sentences short

+= Development & Deployment Infrastructure
+
+This document addresses a standardized codebase structure and deployment configuration that is common across most DocOps Lab projects.
+
+While nearly every project will differ from this in some ways, developers and writers should strive to maintain consistency and conform to these conventions wherever possible when contributing to DocOps Lab projects.
+
+
+[[common-project-paths]]
+== Common Project Paths
+
+// tag::common-project-paths[]
+DocOps Lab projects tend to contain many of the same files across codebases.
+Documentation of these files in particular will be added when possible, but for now this basic guide will have to suffice.
+
+[[documentation-paths]]
+=== Documentation Paths
+
+Only two files are required in _every_ DocOps Lab project, though most projects should contain most of these files, depending on the nature of the codebase.
+A `docs/` or `_docs/` directory is close to the third universal requirement, necessary by the time a project reaches version 1.0.0.
+
+`README.adoc`::
+Project documentation in AsciiDoc format, providing an overview and instructions.
+DocOps Lab READMEs typically include single-sourcing data for the product as AsciiDoc attributes.
+See the Sourcerer project.
+
+`LICENSE`::
+The project's license file, specifying the terms under which the code can be used and distributed.
+Almost always *MIT License*.
+
+`docs/` / `_docs/`::
+Directory for additional documentation, guides, and related materials.
+Typically `docs/` for product _user_ documentation, whereas `+++_docs/+++` is for (a) repos that are mainly for websites or (b) _internal engineering_ documentation files (more often found at `+++docs/_docs/+++`).
+Both might be present in the case of a website that hosts docs and _has its own_ docs.
++
+A `docs/` directory will typically have its own `Gemfile`, configs, and assets for Jekyll, Yard, and other generators.
+A `_docs/` directory is usually a content-only subordinate to the main project and its content, and may not have separate configs or assets.
+
+[[configuration]]
+=== Configuration
+
+`.config/`::
+Configuration files for tooling used in development, building, or QA/testing.
+Not always used.
+
+`.config/releasehx.yml`:::
+Configuration file for ReleaseHx, a tool for generating release notes and changelogs.
+
+`.config/jekyll.yml`:::
+Configuration file for Jekyll docs publication.
+For Jekyll extensions (themes and plugins), this file is typically `./_config.yml` to conform to Jekyll defaults.
+
+`.config/vale.ini`:::
+Configuration file for Vale, a linter for prose, defining linting rules and styles.
+
+`.config/.vendor/`::
+Directory for upstream configuration files, mostly or entirely managed by `docopsab-dev` gem.
+These files are not tracked in Git but are synced with upstream sources and maintained by DocOps Lab.
+
+[[containerization]]
+=== Containerization
+
+`Dockerfile`::
+Dockerfile for building the project's Docker image, defining the environment and dependencies.
+
+`.dockerignore`::
+Specifies files and directories to ignore when building the Docker image.
+
+`docker-compose.yml`::
+Defines and runs multi-container Docker applications, _if applicable_.
+
+[[ruby-files]]
+=== Ruby Files
+
+These files are common to Ruby-based DocOps Lab projects.
+The `Gemfile` and `Gemfile.lock` may be present in non-Ruby codebases that use Ruby development dependencies, such as ReleaseHx.
+
+`Gemfile`::
+Ruby Bundler file, specifying gem dependencies for the project.
+
+`Gemfile.lock`::
+Generated by Bundler, this file locks the gem versions used in the project.
+
+`.ruby-version`::
+Specifies the Ruby version used in the project.
+
+`.gemspec`::
+Ruby gem specification file, defining the gem's metadata and dependencies.
+
+[[automation-paths]]
+=== Automation Paths
+
+`Rakefile`::
+Ruby Rakefile for defining tasks and automation scripts.
+
+`scripts/`::
+Custom scripts for automating tasks related to development, testing, and deployment.
+See <> below.
+
+`.github/workflows/`::
+GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD, defining automated build, test, and deployment processes.
+
+[[quality-assurance-paths]]
+=== Quality Assurance Paths
+
+Any files containing _requirements_, _specifications_, _definitions_, _schemas_, or _tests_ should be stored in the `specs/` directory, as detailed in {xref_docs_testing_link}.
+
+`specs/`::
+General directory for content that specifies, defines, or tests elements of the product.
+See {xref_docs_testing_link}.
+
+`specs/data/`:::
+Definition and schema files.
+
+`specs/tests/rspec/`:::
+RSpec tests for Ruby codebases.

+
+Some DocOps Lab projects include highly customized automation scripts, but most contain or employ some common scripts that are primarily stored in this repository and/or deployed as Docker images for universal access during development, testing, and deployment.
+
+These procedures can always be invoked by way of local scripts located in `scripts/`.
+These include:
+
+* `build.sh`
+* `publish.sh`
+
+Common scripts are managed through the lnk:{xref_docs_lab-dev-setup_url}[`docopslab-dev` gem].
+
+Ruby projects will generally include a `Rakefile` (in the base directory), which automates various Ruby tasks.

+= Namespace Semantics
+
+This reference maps the existing and theoretical namespaces used or planned for use in DocOps Lab projects.
+
+toc::[]
+
+.Namespaces and namespace semantics
+****
+One of the most complicated aspects of programming is maintaining consistent naming conventions (and names) across all products and interfaces without straying too far from domain conventions and standards.
+
+Take the term "`domain`", for instance.
+In the previous paragraph, I used _domain_ to refer to the "`field`" or "`industry`" or "`genre`" in which a given product is likely to be associated with.
+Yet of course, _domain_ has other technical meanings.
+Not only is it a networking term referring to a string like `example.com` and its implications, but in programming a _domain_ can also refer to a "`bounded context`" for components or interfaces of a certain product.
+
+In the (industrial) "`domain`" of _open-source technical documentation software_, there are many intersecting "`namespaces`" that require careful naming of their member "`elements`".
+
+For instance, terms like _document "`generation`"_, _document "`conversion`"_, _document "`rendering`"_, _document "`building`"_, document "`compiling`".
+In software, most of these terms have a parallel for the application source code, as well.
+Software gets "`compiled`" and "`built`", for sure.
+
+So when naming commands, functions, methods, and so forth, verbs like _build_, _render_, _convert_, and so forth all have specific meanings.
+And they may not correspond perfectly with what a downstream user will understand as the meaning of that term in _their_ domain (their field).
+
+This is as true for when the downstream user is a _developer_ integrating with or extending your product (API endpoints, parameter labels, etc, etc), or an _end-user_ dealing with UIs (CLI commands and options, form or GUI labels, menu items, etc, etc).
+
+All of these are _terms of art_, in that they are relatively common words that have a particular meaning in a particular domain.
+Nevertheless, the programmer's job is to maintain a consistent "`grammar`" when it comes to naming _things_, whether those things are fully internal or they're user-facing, and regardless of the domain context.

+include::../_local_settings.adoc[]
+= Ruby Development Style Guide
+
+This guide outlines the Ruby coding styles and conventions used in DocOps Lab projects.
+
+
+[[automated-style-enforcement]]
+== Automated Style Enforcement
+
+DocOps Lab projects using the `docopslab-dev` gem automatically enforce Ruby style guidelines through:
+
+RuboCop:: Automated code style checking and auto-fixing
+Git Hooks:: Pre-commit advisory checks, pre-push quality gates
+CI/CD Integration:: Automated linting in GitHub Actions workflows
+
+To apply style fixes: `bundle exec rake labdev:heal:ruby`
+
+See {xref_docs_lab-dev-usage_link} for setup details.
+
+
+// tag::conventions[]
+[[conventions]]
+== Conventions
+
+DocOps Lab largely follows Ruby's community conventions, with some exceptions.
+Conventions are either reiterated or clarified here.
+
+However, conventions are not exhaustively listed, and deviations are rarely pointed out as such.
+
+[[naming-conventions]]
+=== Naming Conventions
+
+* Use `snake_case` for variable and method names.
+* Use `CamelCase` for class and module names.
+* Use `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` for constants.
+* Use descriptive names that convey the purpose of the variable, method, or class.
+* Avoid abbreviations unless they are widely understood.
+* Use verbs for method names to indicate actions.
+* Use nouns for class and module names to indicate entities.
+
+[[architectural-conventions]]
+=== Architectural Conventions
+
+* Use classes and class instance methods for objects that work like _objects_ -- they have state and do not act on other objects' state.
+* Use module methods acting on objects or carrying out general operations/utility functions.
+* Use Rake for internal (developer) CLI; use Thor for user-facing CLI
+* Gems may begin life as a module within another gem.
+
+[[path-conventions]]
+=== Path Conventions
+
+* Use `lib/` for main application code.
+** `lib/.rb` for the main file
+** `lib//` for supporting files and modules
+** `lib///` for submodules
+* Use `spec/` for specifications and tests.
+* Use `docs/` or `_docs/` for documentation.
+* Use `build/` for pre-runtime artifacts.
+* Use `_build/` as default in applications that generate files at runtime, unless another path is more appropriate (ex: `_site/` in Jekyll-centric apps).
+* Do NOT assume or insist upon perfect alignment with Ruby path conventions:
+** `SomeModule` or `SomeClass` may be sourced at `lib/some_module.rb` or `lib/some_class.rb` instead of `lib/some/module.rb` or `lib/some/class.rb`.
+** Some modules like `SchemaGraphy` and `AsciiDoc` are never broken up into `schema_graphy` or `ascii_doc` namespaces.
+** Modules with multiple parallel sibling modules in a category like (`WriteOps`, `DraftOps`) belong in paths like `lib/ops/write.rb` instead of `lib/write_ops.rb` or `lib/write/ops.rb`.
+
+[[syntax-conventions]]
+=== Syntax Conventions
+
+* Use 2 spaces for indentation.
+* Limit lines to 120 characters or so when possible.
+* Use parentheses for method calls with arguments, but omit them for methods without arguments.
+* Do not use parentheses in method definitions (`def method_name arg1, arg2`).
+* Use single quotes for strings that do not require interpolation or special symbols.
+* Use double quotes for strings that require interpolation or special symbols.
+
+[[commenting-conventions]]
+=== Commenting Conventions
+
+See {xref_docs_code-commenting_link} for detailed commenting conventions.
+// end::conventions[]
+
+
+[[rubocop-customization]]
+== RuboCop Customization
+

+= Specs & Tests
+include::../_local_settings.adoc[]
+
+Most DocOps Lab projects include a `specs/` directory in the base.
+This path is for all "`definitional`" code and content, including:
+
+* YAML- or JSON-formatted schema or definition documents
+* "`natural language`" requirement/specification documents
+* test scripts in RSpec or other formats
+* test data files
+* test configurations
+
+The typical structure of this path is:
+
+....
+specs/
+ docs/ # natural language PRDs
+ *.adoc
+ data/ # defs, schemas, test data
+ *.yml,*.yaml
+ tests/
+ *.rb, *.sh # test scripts
+ rspec/ # RSpec test files
+ spec_helper.rb
+ *_spec.rb
+ results/ # Test output logs
+....
+
+
+[[specifications-requirements-and-definitions]]
+== Specifications, Requirements, and Definitions
+
+DocOps Lab project development is "`docs-driven`", meaning we write up our code requirements and specifications in natural language documents before we start coding.
+These files tend to take the following form:
+
+`README.adoc`::
+Especially during early development, fairly detailed product documentation is stored here.
+
+`specs/docs/*.adoc`::
+Natural language product requirement documents (PRD) specifying dependencies, features, behaviors, and inter-component contracts and interfaces.
+
+`specs/data/*.yml`::
+YAML-formatted definition files that designate actual attributes and content of the app, typically including `config-def.yml` for configuration properties defaults and docs.
+
+`specs/data/*-schema.yaml`::
+SGYML-formatted schema files that define the structure and constraints user-editable YAML files, such as configuration files.
+
+
+[[testing-infrastructure-standards]]
+== Testing Infrastructure Standards
+
+DocOps Lab projects follow consistent testing patterns to ensure reliability and maintainability across the ecosystem.
+These standards cover test organization, configuration files, and data management used by testing frameworks.
+
+[[rspec-configuration]]
+=== RSpec Configuration
+
+All Ruby-based projects should include:
+
+`.rspec`::
+Configuration file specifying RSpec options and test file patterns.
+Standard configuration:
++
+....
+--format documentation
+--color
+--pattern 'specs/tests/rspec/**/*_spec.rb'
+....
+
+`specs/tests/rspec/spec_helper.rb`::
+Shared configuration, helper methods, and sample data for tests.
+Should include:
++
+* Bundler setup and project requires
+* RSpec configuration (monkey patching disabled, expect syntax)
+* Helper methods for temporary file/directory creation
+* Sample data generators for testing
+* Cleanup procedures for test artifacts
+
+[[standard-rake-tasks]]
+=== Standard Rake Tasks
+// tag::standard-rake-tasks[]
+All Ruby gem projects with tests should implement these standard Rake tasks in their `Rakefile`:
+
+`bundle exec rake rspec`::
+Run RSpec test suite using the standard pattern matcher.
+
+`bundle exec rake cli_test`::
+Validate command-line interface functionality.
+May test basic CLI loading, help output, version information.
+
+`bundle exec rake yaml_test`::
+Validate YAML configuration files and data structures.
+Should test all project YAML files for syntax correctness.
+
+`bundle exec rake pr_test`::
+Comprehensive test suite for pre-commit and pull request validation.
+Typically includes: RSpec tests, CLI tests, YAML validation.
+
+`bundle exec rake install_local`::
+Build and install the project locally for testing.
+
+Note that non-gem projects may have some or all of these tasks, as applicable.
+// end::standard-rake-tasks[]
+
+[[test-categories]]
+=== Test Categories
+
+// tag::test-writing-guidelines[]
+Tests should be organized into these categories:
+
+Unit Tests::
+* Module loading and initialization
+* Class structure validation
+* Basic functionality verification
+* Individual method testing
+
+Integration Tests::
+* Data processing workflows
+* Template rendering operations
+* Configuration loading scenarios
+* API client functionality (where applicable)
+
+Validation Tests::
+* File format compliance (YAML, JSON)
+* Configuration schema validation
+* Template syntax verification
+* Command-line option parsing
+// end::test-writing-guidelines[]
+
+[[test-data-management]]
+=== Test Data Management
+
+Projects should utilize:
+
+Demo/Sample Data::
+Rich sample data in dedicated demo directories (e.g., `../projectname-demo/`).
+Used for integration testing and examples.
+
+Generated Test Data::
+Programmatically generated test data using helper methods.
+Ensures consistent, controlled test scenarios.
+
+Temporary Files::
+Automatic creation and cleanup of temporary files/directories.
+Prevents test pollution and ensures isolated test environments.
+
+[[test-documentation]]
+=== Test Documentation
+
+Each project's `specs/tests/README.adoc` should:
+
+Reference shared standards::
+Link to https://docopslab.org/docs/testing.
+
+Document project-specific patterns::
+Cover unique testing approaches.
+
+Provide quick start instructions::
+Enable new contributors to run tests immediately.
+
+Explain integration with demo data::
+Show how sample data is used.
+
+List available test commands::
+Document all relevant Rake tasks and their purposes.
+
+pass:[]
+
+[[test-ing-the-documentation]]
+=== Test__ing__ the Documentation
+
+pass:[]
+
+Not only do tests need to be documented, but documentation needs to be systematically tested.
+
+These tests are mainly performed via the link:{xref_docs_lab-dev-setup_url}[docopslab-dev tool].
+
+DocOps Lab performs markup-syntax linting, prose linting, HTML linting, HTML link testing, and code-block testing.
+
+Syntax linting::
+Evaluates AsciiDoc and RDoc source syntax for proper style and formatting.
+We use link:{xref_docs_asciidoc-styles_url}#config-vale[Vale] for prose linting and custom link:{xref_docs_ruby-styles_url}#rubocop-customization[RuboCop] for RDoc comment.
+
+HTML linting and link testing::
+Validates generated HTML documentation for proper structure, formatting, and link integrity.
+See <>.
+
+Code-block testing::
+Extracts and executes code blocks from documentation to ensure accuracy and functionality.
+This is performed using the Sourcerer library, which is presently part of the ReleaseHx gem but will soon be released as a standalone gem.

+
+DocOps Lab projects follow consistent CI/CD patterns.
+These broadly include pre-commit/pre-push testing, GitHub Actions integration, and release testing.
+
+[[pre-push-testing]]
+=== Pre-push Testing
+
+[.prompt]
+ bundle exec rake pr_test
+
+This test runs the complete local suite, including RSpec tests as well as any established CLI testing.
+
+[[github-actions-integration]]
+=== GitHub Actions Integration
+
+Projects should implement GitHub Actions workflows that:
+
+* Run on pull requests
+* Execute the complete `pr_test` suite
+* Test across multiple Ruby versions (where applicable)
+* Validate documentation quality
+* Report test coverage
+
+[[release-testing]]
+=== Release Testing
+
+Before any merge to `main` and pre-release.
+
+[.prompt]
+
+....
+bundle exec rake install_local
+bundle exec rake pr_test
+....
+
+Release testing also involves examining artifacts (packaged gems, Docker image, documentation) before it is published.
+See <> for basics and {xref_docs_release_link} for details.
+
+
+[[test-results-artifacts]]
+== Test Results and Artifacts
+
+Test execution should generate:
+
+`specs/tests/results/`::
+Directory for test output, logs, and reports.
+Automatically created during test runs.
+
+`.rspec_status`::
+RSpec status persistence file for `--only-failures` and `--next-failure` flags.
+
+Test results should include:
+
+* Pass/fail status for all test categories
+* Performance metrics (where applicable)
+* Coverage reports
+* Artifact validation logs

+= Development Process (General)
+
+DocOps Lab projects follow a consistent, if always progressing, architecture and development/release process.
+
+This guide focuses on contributing code to projects and products, be it functional code, data, or documentation.
+
+More generally, dev contributors will most likely need to use the `docopslab-dev` tool to coordinate development and testing tasks.
+Each repository has its own `Rakefile` with custom tasks, but each also incorporates the common (upstream) `docopslab-dev` library for extending the rake tasks.
+

+[[documentation-practices]]
+== Documentation Practices
+
+A critical part of development at DocOps Lab is writing and maintaining good documentation.
+After all, docs are our business.
+
+[[standard-user-docs]]
+=== Standard (User) Docs
+
+Standard documentation is mainly done in AsciiDoc.
+
+AsciiDoc files are found in the `_docs/` or `docs/` directory.
+
+A `_docs/` directory exists for internal documentation.
+These files may be published in some form, but they should be distinct from docs intended to help end users.
+
+A `docs/` directory exists for user-facing documentation files.
+These are published distinctly.
+
+[TIP]
+For complete documentation styles guidance, see {xref_docs_asciidoc-styles_link}.
+
+Initially, all developer and user-facing documentation is maintained in the `README.adoc` file, simply for convenience.
+Prior to a 1.0.0 release, most user-facing and usually some developer-facing documentation should be moved from the README to the `docs/` and `_docs/` directories.
+
+In GitHub Issues, use `needs:docs` to designate work items that will require standard internal or user-facing documentation.
+
+[[inline-documentation]]
+=== Inline Documentation
+
+Some documentation can be accessed through the product (such as `--help` menus), which is also often sourced inside product files (rather than dedicated doc files).
+
+[[apis]]
+==== APIs
+
+* Use link:https://yardoc.org/[YARD] for Ruby code documentation.
+* Document all public methods and classes.
+* API docs are published at `\https://gemdocs.org/PROJECT_NAME/`.
+
+[[clis]]
+==== CLIs
+
+Most DocOps Lab CLIs provide `--help` and even `--man` flags, for a basic menu or a manpage related to the given command.
+
+These will be designated and documented in the project's `README.adoc` file.
+
+[[release-history]]
+=== Release History
+
+DocOps Lab projects use ReleaseHx to maintain release notes and changelogs.
+
+Each project should have a `.config/releasehx.yml` file.
+
+There are also labels available to designate a GitHub issue's status in the documentation announcing the release it belongs to.
+
+* Use `needs:note` to designate an issue that should be detailed for end users.
+* Use `changelog` to designate an issue that should be included in the changelog (just the summary).
+
+// tag::release-notes-advice[]
+Release notes are added to the main GitHub issue body as appended Markdown.
+At the end of the note body, add:
+
+[source,markdown]
+----
+## Release Note
+
+One or two sentences summarizing the change for end users.
+Markdown formatting *will* be converted to AsciiDoc during drafting.
+----
+
+// end::release-notes-advice[]
+
+See {xref_docs_release_link} for more on generating the release history.
+
+
+[[test-development-process]]
+== Test Development Process
+
+All DocOps Lab projects should include comprehensive test suites following consistent patterns.
+
+[NOTE]
+Testing itself is documented in {xref_docs_testing_link}, but this section focuses on creating and maintaining tests as part of development.
+
+[[adding-tests-for-new-features]]
+=== Adding Tests for New Features
+
+When implementing new functionality:
+
+. *Create corresponding tests* alongside feature implementation
+. *Follow existing patterns* established in `spec_helper.rb`
+. *Use descriptive test names* that clearly indicate what is being tested
+. *Group related tests* in logical contexts and describe blocks
+. *Add cleanup procedures* for any temporary files or resources
+
+[[test-file-template]]
+=== Test File Template
+
+Use this template for new test files:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+require_relative 'spec_helper'
+
+RSpec.describe YourModule do
+ let(:temp_dir) { create_temp_dir }
+ let(:sample_data) { create_temp_yaml_file(your_sample_data) }
+

+=== Test Data Integration
+
+Projects should leverage demo data for realistic testing:
+
+*Demo Directory Usage*::
+Utilize rich sample data from `../projectname-demo/` directories.
+Validate configuration files, mapping files, and sample data sets.
+
+*Helper Methods*::
+Implement helper methods in `spec_helper.rb` for:
++
+* `create_temp_yaml_file(content)` - Generate temporary YAML files
+* `create_temp_json_file(content)` - Generate temporary JSON files
+* `create_temp_dir` - Create temporary directories
+* `sample_*_data` - Provide realistic test data structures
+
+*Cleanup Procedures*::
+Ensure all tests clean up after themselves:
++
+[source,ruby]
+----
+after do
+ FileUtils.rm_rf(temp_dir) if Dir.exist?(temp_dir)
+ File.unlink(temp_file) if File.exist?(temp_file)

+// tag::fix-broken-links[]
+= Fix Broken Links
+
+A systematic approach to debugging and fixing broken links in DocOps Lab websites or sites generated with DocOps Lab tooling.
+
+Due to complex sourcing procedures at work in DocOps Lab projects, where a particular link comes from is not always obvious.
+
+This guide focuses on the methodologies for tracing link sources rather than specific solutions, making it applicable across different Jekyll/AsciiDoc sites.
+
+
+[[common-link-failure-patterns]]
+== Common Link Failure Patterns
+
+[[external-link-failures]]
+=== External Link Failures
+
+Network timeouts::
+Temporary connectivity issues that resolve after rebuild
+
+404 errors::
+Missing pages or incorrect URLs
+
+Pre-publication links::
+Links to repositories or resources not yet available
+
+Malformed URLs::
+Missing repository names or incorrect paths
+
+[[internal-link-failures]]
+=== Internal Link Failures
+
+Missing project anchors::
+Data/template mismatches in generated content
+
+Section anchor mismatches::
+ID generation vs link target differences
+
+Template variable errors::
+Unprocessed variables in URLs
+
+Missing pages::
+Links to pages that don't exist
+
+
+[[debugging-methodology]]
+== Debugging Methodology
+
+[[step-counter-step-run-htmlproofer-and-categorize-failures]]
+=== Step {counter:step}: Run HTMLProofer and Categorize Failures
+
+.Run link validation
+[.prompt]
+ bundle exec rake labdev:lint:html 2>&1 | tee .agent/scratch/link-failures.txt
+
+.Extract external failure patterns
+[.prompt]
+ grep "External link.*failed" .agent/scratch/link-failures.txt | wc -l
+
+.Extract internal failure patterns
+[.prompt]
+ grep "internally linking" .agent/scratch/link-failures.txt | wc -l
+
+[[step-counter-step-identify-high-impact-patterns]]
+=== Step {counter:step}: Identify High-Impact Patterns
+
+Look for repeated failures across multiple pages:
+
+* Same broken link appearing on 3+ pages = template/data issue
+* Similar link patterns = systematic problem
+* Timeout clusters = network/rebuild issue
+
+[[step-counter-step-trace-link-sources]]
+=== Step {counter:step}: Trace Link Sources
+
+[[for-missing-anchors-internal-links-and-x-refs]]
+==== For Missing Anchors (Internal Links and X-refs)
+
+If the problem is an anchor that does not exist, either the pointer or the anchor must be wrong.
+
+*Consider how the page was generated:*::
+
+* Is it a standard `.adoc` file?
+* Is it a Liquid-rendered HTML page?
+* Is it a Liquid-rendered AsciiDoc file (usually `+++*.adoc.liquid+++` or `+++*.asciidoc+++`)
+
+*For standard AsciiDoc files...*::
+The offending link source will likely be:
++
+--
+[upperalpha]
+. an AsciiDoc xref (`pass:[<]>` or `+++xref:anchor-slug[]+++`)
+. a pre-generated xref in the form of an attribute placeholder (`+++{xref_scope_anchor-slug_link}+++`) that has resolved to a proper AsciiDoc xref
+. a hybrid reference (`+++link:{xref_scope_anchor-slug_url}[some text]+++`)
+
+In any case, the `anchor-slug` portion should correspond literally to the reported missing anchor.
+If these are rendering properly and do not contain obvious misspellings, consider how the intended target might be misspelled or missing and address the source of the anchor itself.
+--
+
+*For Liquid-rendered pages...*::
+The offending link source will likely be a misspelled or poorly constructed link.
++
+--
+[upperalpha]
+. a hard-coded link in Liquid/HTML (`"+++a href="#anchor-slug">+++`)
+. a data-driven link in Liquid/HTML (`"+++a href="#{{ variable | slugify }}">+++`)
+. a data-driven link in Liquid/AsciiDoc (`+++link:#{{ variable | slugify }}+++`)
+. a pre-generated xref in the form of an attribute placeholder (`+++{xref_some-scope_some-slug-string_link}+++`; generated from Liquid such as: `+++{xref_{{ scope }}_{{ variable }}_link}+++`)
+
+Other than for hard-coded links, you will need to trace the source to one of the following:
+
+* A YAML file, typically in a `_data/` or `data/` directory.
++
+.Search for the offending anchor
+[.prompt]
+ grep -rn "broken-anchor-slug" --include \*.yml --include \*.yaml
++
+NOTE: If there are numerous errors of this kind, the problem _could_ be in the code that generates the attributes from the YAML source.
+
+* Attributes derived from a file like `README.adoc`.
++
+.Search for the offending attribute
+[.prompt]
+ grep -rn "^:.*broken-anchor.*:" --include \*.adoc
+--
+
+*Other tips for investigating broken anchors:*::
++
+--
+.Check what anchors actually exist
+ grep -on 'id="[^"]*"' _site/page-slug/index.html
+
+.Find template generating the links
+ grep -rn "distinct identifier string" _includes _pages _templates
+--

+=== Step {counter:step}: Apply Appropriate Fix Strategy
+
+[[option-a-fix-the-data-recommended-for-project-links]]
+==== Option A: Fix the Data (Recommended for Project Links)
+
+Update dependency names to match actual project slugs:

+
+# After
+deps: [jekyll-asciidoc-ui, asciidocsy-jekyll-theme]

+----
+{% assign dep_project = projects | where: 'slug', dep | first %}
+{% unless dep_project %}{% assign dep_project = projects | where: 'name', dep | first %}{% endunless %}
+
+----
+
+[[option-c-fix-the-anchors-ids]]
+==== Option C: Fix the Anchors/IDs
+
+Update actual IDs to match expected links.
+Use this solution only when the link source is wrong or the target anchor ID is wrong where it is designated or missing.
+
+.Misspelled link source
+[source,asciidoc]
+----
+See xref:sectione-one[Section One] for details.

+`_data/docops-lab-projects.yml`:: Project dependencies and metadata
+`_data/pages/*.yml`:: Navigation and cross-references
+Individual frontmatter:: Local link definitions
+
+[[dependency-tracing-process]]
+=== Dependency Tracing Process
+
+. *Identify the broken link pattern*: `#missing-anchor`
+. *Find the data source*: Search YAML files for dependency names
+. *Trace template processing*: Follow Liquid template logic
+. *Compare with reality*: Check actual generated IDs
+. *Apply data fix*: Update dependency to match actual slug
+
+[[example-trace-asciidocsy-links]]
+=== Example Trace: AsciiDocsy Links
+

+# 2. Find template source
+grep -r "#asciidocsy" _includes/
+# Found in: _includes/project-profile.html line 76

+
+[[pre-publication-link-strategy]]
+== Pre-Publication Link Strategy
+
+For links to resources not yet available:
+
+. *Tag with FIXME-PREPUB*: Add comments for easy identification
+. *Document in notes*: Track what needs to be updated at publication
+. *Use conditional logic*: Hide pre-pub links in production builds
+
+[source,asciidoc]

+Test link generation logic with sample data
+Documentation standards::
+Document expected anchor patterns
+Regular validation::
+Include link checking in CI/CD pipelines
+
+[[configuration-management]]
+=== Configuration Management
+Default values::
+Define link patterns in configuration rather than hardcoding
+Validation rules::
+Create checks for common link anti-patterns
+Documentation::
+Maintain mapping between logical names and actual slugs
+
+This systematic approach transforms broken link debugging from a frustrating manual process into a predictable, methodical workflow that scales across projects and team members.

+= Product Change Tracking and Documentation
+
+All DocOps Lab products use DocOps Lab's ReleaseHx utility to generate release notes and changelogs.
+
+However, each product implements ReleaseHx in a customized manner, so always refer to any given project's documentation for specific protocols.
+Check for a file like `docs/content/_doc/release-history-management.adoc` file or else fall back to `README.adoc` (search for `ReleaseHx`).
+
+
+[[contributor]]
+== Product Contributor Documentation Responsibilities
+// tag::contribute-docs[]
+Each contributor of product code or docs changes is responsible for preparing that change to be included in release documentation, _when applicable_.
+
+[[github-issues]]
+=== GitHub Issues Labels
+
+GitHub Issues are use specific labels to indicate documentation expectations.
+
+include::../reference/github-issues.adoc[tag="docs-labels"]
+
+Issues labeled `changelog` will automatically appear in the Changelog section of the Release History document.
+Release notes must be manually entered.
+
+[[change-documentation]]
+=== Change Documentation
+
+When a change to the product affects user-facing functionality, the documentation needs to change.
+
+For early product versions, most documentation appears in the root `README.adoc` file.
+When a product has a `docs/content/` path, documentation changes usually have a home in an AsciiDoc (`.adoc`) file in a subdirectory.
+
+Reference matter should be documented where it is defined, such as in `specs/data/*.yml` files.
+
+[[release-note-entry]]
+=== Release Note Entry
+
+User-facing product changes that deserve explanation (not just notice) require a release note.
+
+Add a release note for a given issue by appending it to the issue body following a `## Release Note` heading.
+
+.Example
+[source,markdown]
+----
+## Release Note
+
+The content of the release note goes here, in Markdown format.
+Try to keep it to one paragraph with minimal formatting.
+----
+
+// end::contribute-docs[]
+
+
+[[release-history-management]]
+== Release History Document Creation
+
+// tag::releasehx[]
+ReleaseHx automatically generates release notes and changelogs from GitHub Issues and PRs when properly labeled.
+
+[NOTE]
+Every DocOps Lab project implements ReleaseHx differently as a way of "`eating our own dog food`".
+
+Refer to any given project's documentation for specific instructions on how to prepare changes for inclusion in release notes and changelogs.
+
+The general procedure is as follows:
+
+. Generate a draft release history in YAML.
++
+ bundle exec rhx --yaml --fetch
+
+. Edit the generated YAML to ensure clarity and completeness.
+
+. Generate the Markdown version.
++
+ bundle exec rhx --md docs/release/.md

+= Release Process (General)
+
+DocOps Lab projects follow a consistent, if always progressing, architecture and development/release process.
+
+This guide focuses on the release process.
+
+
+[[prerequisites]]
+== Prerequisites
+
+include::../partials/_prerequisites.adoc[tags="general"]
+
+include::../partials/_prerequisites.adoc[tags="release"]
+
+[[platform-setup]]
+=== Platform Setup
+
+Deployment platforms must be initialized for each new project, as instructed in {xref_docs_deployment-setup_link}.
+
+
+[[release-procedure]]
+== Release Procedure
+
+// tag::procedure[]
+[[manual-double-checks]]
+=== Manual Double-Checks
+// tag::manual-double-checks[]
+[%interactive]
+- [ ] No local paths in `Gemfile`.
+- [ ] All documentation changes merged.
+- [ ] Version attribute bumped and propagated.
+// end::manual-double-checks[]
+
+[[conditions-definition-of-done]]
+=== Conditions ("Definition of Done")
+
+// tag::conditions[]
+[%interactive]
+- [ ] All target issues are closed.
+- [ ] CI builds and tests pass on `dev/x.y`.
+- [ ] Documentation updated and merged.
+// end::conditions[]
+
+[[release-step-history]]
+=== Step 1. Prepare Release History
+
+// tag::step-history[]
+Generate release notes and changelog using ReleaseHx.
+
+[subs=+attributes]
+....
+bundle update releasehx
+bundle exec releasehx {tok_majmin}.{tok_patch} --md docs/release/{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}.md
+....
+
+Edit the Markdown file at `docs/release/{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}.md`.
+
+NOTE: {docs-change-note}
+
+See the project's `README.adoc`; seek for `releasehx`.
+// end::step-history[]
+
+[[step-2-merge-to-main]]
+=== Step 2. Merge to Main
+
+// tag::step-merge[]
+[subs=+attributes]
+....
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git merge --no-ff dev/{tok_majmin}
+git push origin main
+....
+// end::step-merge[]
+
+[[step-3-tag-release]]
+=== Step 3. Tag Release
+
+// tag::step-tag[]
+[subs=+attributes]
+....
+git tag -a v{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch} -m "Release {tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}"
+git push origin v{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}
+....
+// end::step-tag[]
+
+[[release-step-announce]]
+=== Step 4. Create GitHub Release
+
+// tag::step-announce[]
+Use the GitHub CLI to create a release:
+
+[subs=+attributes]
+....
+gh release create v{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch} --title "Release {tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}" --notes-file docs/releases/{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}.md --target main
+....
+
+Or else use the GitHub web interface to manually register the release, and copy/paste the contents of `docs/releasehx/{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}.md` into the release notes field.
+// end::step-announce[]
+
+[[release-step-artifacts]]
+=== Step 5. Publish Remaining Artifacts
+
+// tag::step-artifacts[]
+Use the `publish.sh` script with <> in place.
+
+....
+./scripts/publish.sh
+....
+
+This step concludes the release process.
+// end::step-artifacts[]
+
+// end::procedure[]
+
+[[post-release-tasks]]
+=== Post-Release Tasks
+
+// tag::post-release[]
+[%interactive]
+- [ ] Cut a _release_ branch for patching (`release/{tok_majmin}`).
+- [ ] Update `:next_prod_vrsn:` in docs.
+- [ ] Create next development branch (`dev/`).
+- [ ] Notify stakeholders.
+// end::post-release[]
+
+
+[[patch-procedure]]
+== Patch Procedure
+
+// tag::rollback-patching[]
+[[rollback-failsafe]]
+=== Rollback Failsafe
+
+If a release must be rolled back and retracted, you must revert the changes and "`yank`" the artifacts.
+
+[subs=+attributes]
+....
+git tag -d v{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}
+git push origin :refs/tags/v{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}
+git revert -m 1
+git push origin main
+....
+
+Retract or yank the artifacts (DockerHub, RubyGems, etc) and nullify the GH release.
+
+[subs=+attributes]
+....
+gh release delete v{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}
+gem yank --version {tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}
+docker rmi :{tok_majmin}.{tok_patch}
+....
+
+Be sure to un-publish any additional artifacts specific to the project.
+
+[[standard-patching]]
+=== Standard Patching
+
+Perform patch work against the earliest affected `release/x.y`.
+These examples use `1.1`, `1.2`, and `1.2.1` as example versions.
+
+.Patch development procedure
+....
+git checkout release/1.1
+git checkout -b fix/parser-typo
+# … FIX …
+git add .
+git commit -m "fix: correct parser typo"
+git push origin fix/parser-typo
+# … TEST …
+git checkout release/1.1
+git merge --squash fix/parser-typo
+git commit -m "fix: correct parser typo"
+git push origin release/1.1
+git tag -a v1.2 -m "Patch release 1.2"
+git push origin v1.2
+....
+
+
+.Example forward porting procedure
+....
+git checkout release/1.2
+git cherry-pick
+# … TEST …
+git push origin release/1.2
+git tag -a v1.2.1 -m "Patch release 1.2.1"
+git push origin v1.2.1
+....
+
+[NOTE]
+Be sure to change `1.1`, `1.2`, and `1.2.1` to the actual affected branches and versions.
+
+Repeat for every affected branch then release the patched versions.
+
+[NOTE]
+Between minor versions, patch versions may vary due to inconsistent applicability of patches.
+
+// end::rollback-patching[]
+
+[[patch-releasing]]
+=== Patch Releasing
+
+Perform Steps 1, 4, and 5 of the standard release procedure:

+# AGENTS.md
+
+AI Agent Guide for <% Project Name %> development.
+
+
+
+
+## TEMPLATE NOTICES
+
+This document is a TEMPLATE.
+It is intended for DocOps Lab projects, but you are welcome to use it for your unrelated work.
+
+Copy it to `AGENTS.md` or similar in your project repository and modify it to suit your project.
+
+This template is published as a rendered document at https://docopslab.org/docs/templates/AGENTS.md just for transparency's sake.
+
+All are welcome to do what DocOps Lab does and commit/share your version of `AGENTS.md`, which is inspired by https://agents.md as a standard for AI agent prompting.
+
+**NOTE:** The version of this document you are reading is a _template_ meant to be copied and customized for each project it is used on.
+Search for characters like `<%` and change those placeholders to suit the specific project.
+
+**NOTE:** Use the [raw version](https://github.com/DocOps/lab/blob/main/_docs/templates/AGENTS.markdown?plain=1) of this file instead of the rendered version.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** _Remove this entire section of the document before committing it to Git._
+
+
+
+## AI Agency
+
+As an LLM-backed agent, your primary mission is to assist a human OPerator in the development, documentation, and maintenance of <% Project Name %> by following best practices outlined in this document.
+
+### Philosophy: Documentation-First, Junior/Senior Contributor Mindset
+
+As an AI agent working on <% Project Name %>, approach this codebase like an **inquisitive and opinionated junior engineer with senior coding expertise and experience**.
+In particular, you values:
+
+- **Documentation-first development:** Always read the docs first, understand the architecture, then propose solutions at least in part by drafting docs changes
+- **Investigative depth:** Do not assume: investigate, understand, then act.
+- **Architectural awareness:** Consider system-wide impacts of changes.
+- **Test-driven confidence:** Validate changes; don't break existing functionality.
+- **User-experience focus:** Changes should improve the downstream developer/end-user experience.
+
+
+### Operations Notes
+
+**IMPORTANT**:
+This document is augmented by additional agent-oriented files at `.agent/docs/`.
+Be sure to `tree .agent/docs/` and explore the available documentation:
+
+- **skills/**: Specific techniques for upstream tools (Git, Ruby, AsciiDoc, GitHub Issues, testing, etc.)
+- **topics/**: DocOps Lab strategic approaches (dev tooling usage, product docs deployment)
+- **roles/**: Agent specializations and behavioral guidance (Product Manager, Tech Writer, DevOps Engineer, etc.)
+- **missions/**: Cross-project agent procedural assignment templates (new project setup, conduct-release, etc.)
+
+**NOTE:** Periodically run `bundle exec rake labdev:sync:docs` to generate/update the library.
+
+For any task session for which no mission template exists, start by selecting an appropriate role and relevant skills from the Agent Docs library.
+
+**Local Override Priority**: Always check `docs/{_docs,topics,content/topics}/agent/` for project-specific agent documentation that may override or supplement the universal guidance.
+
+### Ephemeral/Scratch Directory
+
+There should always be an untracked `.agent/` directory available for writing paged command output, such as `git diff > .agent/tmp/current.diff && cat .agent/tmp/current.diff`.
+Use this scratch directory as you may, but don't get caught up looking at documents you did not write during the current session or that you were not pointed directly at by the user or other docs.
+
+Typical subdirectories include:
+
+- `docs/`: Generated agent documentation library (skills, roles, topics, missions)
+- `tmp/`: Scratch files for current session
+- `logs/`: Persistent logs across sessions (ex: task run history)
+- `reports/`: Persistent reports across sessions (ex: spellcheck reports)
+- `team/`: Shared (Git-tracked) files for multi-agent/multi-operator collaboration
+
+### AsciiDoc, not Markdown
+
+DocOps Lab is an **AsciiDoc** shop.
+All READMEs and other user-facing docs, as well as markup inside YAML String nodes, should be formatted as AsciiDoc.
+
+Agents have a frustrating tendency to create `.md` files when users do not want them, and agents also write Markdown syntax inside `.adoc` files.
+Stick to the AsciiDoc syntax and styles you find in the `README.adoc` files, and you won't go too far wrong.
+
+ONLY create `.md` files for your own use, unless Operator asks you to.
+
+
+
+
+## Essential Reading Order (Start Here!)
+
+Before making any changes, **read these documents in order**:
+
+### 1. Core Documentation
+- **`./README.adoc`**
+- Main project overview, features, and workflow examples:
+ - Pay special attention to any AI prompt sections (`// tag::ai-prompt[]`...`// end::ai-prompt[]`)
+ - Study the example CLI usage patterns
+- Review `<% project-slug %>.gemfile` and `Dockerfile` for dependencies and environment context
+
+### 2. Architecture Understanding
+- **`./specs/tests/README.adoc`**
+- Test framework and validation patterns:
+ - Understand the test structure and helper functions
+ - See how integration testing works with demo data
+ - Note the current test coverage and planned expansions
+
+### 3. Practical Examples
+- <% TODO: Where to find example files and demo data... %>
+
+### 4. Agent Roles and Skills
+- `README.adoc` section: `== Development`
+- Use `tree .agent/docs/` for index of roles, skills, and other topics pertinent to your task.
+
+
+## Codebase Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+```
+<% TODO: Base-level file tree and comments %>
+```
+
+### Auxiliary Components
+
+These components (modules, scripts, etc) are to be spun off as their own gems after a later <% Project Name %> release:
+
+```
+<% TODO: Tree for lib/side-modules %>
+```
+
+### Configuration System
+
+<% Most DocOpsLab projects use a common configuration management pattern: -- delete this section otherwise %>
+
+
+
+- **Default values:** Defined in `specs/data/config-def.yml`
+- **User overrides:** Via `.<% project-slug %>.yml` or `--config` flag
+- **Defined in lib/<% project-slug %>/configuration.rb:** Configuration class loads and validates configs
+- **Uses `SchemaGraphy::Config` and `SchemaGraphy::CFGYML`:** For schema validation and YAML parsing
+- **No hard-coded defaults outside `config-def.yml`:** All defaults come from the Configuration class; whether in Liquid templates or Ruby code expressing config properties, any explicit defaults will at best duplicate the defaults set in `config-def.yml` and propagated into the config object, so avoid expressing `|| 'some-value'` in Ruby or `| default: 'some-value'` in Liquid for core product code.
+
+
+
+
+
+## Agent Development Approach
+
+**Before starting development work:**
+
+1. **Adopt an Agent Role:** If the Operator has not assigned you a role, review `.agent/docs/roles/` and select the most appropriate role for your task.
+2. **Gather Relevant Skills:** Examine `<% agent_docs_path | default: '.agent/docs/' %>skills/` for techniques needed:
+3. **Understand Strategic Context:** Check `<% agent_docs_path | default: '.agent/docs/' %>topics/` for DocOps Lab approaches to development tooling and documentation deployment
+4. **Read relevant project documentation** for the area you're changing
+5. **For substantial changes, check in with the Operator** - lay out your plan and get approval for risky, innovative, or complex modifications
+
+
+
+## Working with Demo Data
+
+<% TODO: Instructions for using demo data/repo to validate changes %>
+
+
+
+## General Agent Responsibilities
+
+1. **Question Requirements:** Ask clarifying questions about specifications.
+2. **Propose Better Solutions:** If you see architectural improvements, suggest them.
+3. **Consider Edge Cases:** Think about error conditions and unusual inputs.
+4. **Maintain Backward Compatibility:** Don't break existing workflows.
+5. **Improve Documentation:** Update docs when adding features.
+6. **Test Thoroughly:** Use both unit tests and demo validation.
+7. **DO NOT assume you know the solution** to anything big.
+
+### Cross-role Advisories
+
+During planning stages, be opinionated about:
+
+- Code architecture and separation of concerns
+- User experience, especially:
+ - CLI ergonomics
+ - Error handling and messaging
+ - Configuration usability
+ - Logging and debug output
+- Documentation quality and completeness
+- Test coverage and quality
+
+When troubleshooting or planning, be inquisitive about:
+
+- Why existing patterns were chosen
+- Future proofing and scalability
+- What the user experience implications are
+- How changes affect different API platforms
+- Whether configuration is flexible enough
+- What edge cases might exist
+
+
+
+## Remember
+
+<% TODO: Reiterate the user base and mission of the project %>
+
+
+
+Your primary mission is to improve <% Project Name %> while maintaining operational standards:
+
+1. **Reliability:** Don't break existing functionality
+2. **Usability:** Make interfaces intuitive and helpful
+3. **Flexibility:** Support diverse team workflows and preferences
+4. **Performance:** Respect system limits and optimize intelligently
+5. **Documentation:** Keep the docs current and comprehensive
+
+**Most importantly**: Read the documentation first, understand the system, then propose thoughtful solutions that improve the overall architecture and user experience.

+# Output rules:
+# - No department sections. One section per customized cop:
+# == :
+# - Within each section, print only the project's value (no defaults).
+# - Keys are prettified (CamelCase -> "Camel Case").
+# - Values stay inline unless an Array has > 1 items, which is printed
+# as a bulleted list.
+# - Includes AllCops diffs as a single "== All Cops" section.

+# bundle exec ruby scripts/rubocop_config_styles.rb [.config/rubocop.yml] > STYLE_GUIDE.adoc

+Technical Documentation: Public vs Internal
Technical Documentation
Public vs Internal
Opening
Presenter
Brian Dominick, DocOps Lab
docopslab.org
25 years software development experience
10 years tech-docs specialization
Presenter
Tech writer for BigData Engineering startup (2015-2018)
DocOps contractor since acquisition (2018-present)
Working on DocOps framework, utilities, libraries, and trainings/courses
Write the Docs participant since 2017
Audience
You are either a product developer or technical writer (or aspiring).
You are looking to initiate or improve the handling of internal documentation at some kind of engineering organization (or expect to).
Focus
Product is enterprise software
Subject-matter experts are developers and product managers
Product audience includes downstream developers and end users
+
Definitions
Jargon
Git
Leading (dominant) version-control system for flat-file tracking
API
Application programming interface
SDK
Software development kit
docs-as-code
Documentation authored using the same tools and processes as product code
Internal Roles
documentarian
Someone who contributes substantially to docs
TW
Technical writer
PM
Project or product manager
Support
Customer support technician or represntative
External (User) Roles
end user
Someone who uses the most-abstract interfaces of the product (mobile apps, web forms, even CLIs)
downstream dev
Or “dev user”, someone who uses the product’s APIs, SDKs, etc
External Docs
focus on interfaces
consumer is customer / client / prospect / user
includes downstream “dev docs”: API/SDK/etc
Internal Docs
also focus on interfaces
including private APIs, etc
also cover resources
assets, infrastructure, processes, styles
consumer is coworker / collaborator / successor / you
may be publicly accessible (open source)
+
Problems
Divergence and Convergence
Documentation of overlapping subjects is authored and output in different ways, using different tools.
Content divergence is an inevitable problem that can be solved with innovation.
+
Source duplication is a problem that can only be solved with manual effort (or elimintation).
Divergence Breakdown
contributor roles
developers, TWs, PMs
tech preferences
WYSIWYG, CCMS/XML, lightweight markup, Git, etc
audiences
end users, downstream devs, internal devs, etc
delivery methods
static site, wiki, PDF, etc
The Platform Divide
Internal
User/Dev Docs
Confluence
Markdown & GitHub Pages
Google Docs/Sheets
ReadTheDocs
Notion
OpenAPI/Markdown
SharePoint / Office 365
MadCap Flare / DITA
Duplication of Truth Sources
Source 1
The product source code.
Source 2
The documentation source code.
+
It matters not at all what is written in Confluence or Markdown or Flare if the source code does not agree.
(Ideal) Audience Breakdown
Internal Docs
Public Docs
Internal Devs
Public & private APIs, SDKs, policies
N/A
Downstream Devs
N/A
Public APIs, SDKs, etc
End Users
N/A
Public UIs, tutorials, etc
Docs Source Convergence
Content Complication Examples
private/public APIs
Same API might have 90% overlap, 10% private endpoints.
+Docs sourced in code or aside.
configuration
Config is defined internally, used by downstream devs and end users.
+Docs usually sourced aside.
Typical Implementation
2 API references: public on Mintlify or SwaggerHub, used by both internal and downstream devs, private in Confluence or Notion used by internal devs.
2-4 config guides: public on ReadTheDocs, premium for paid users in the WebUI, private versions of both on GitHub, used by devs and QA testers.
Key Differences
Internal Docs are:
+
more directly maintained by SMEs
fewer constraints on delivery methods/formats
not expected to be as “polished”
backed up by code (real source of truth)
Key Differences
External/User Docs are:
+
easy for users to discover and access
expected to be more polished and accurate
Risks of bad or missing docs
Audience
Potential Cost
customer
revenue loss
prospect
deal loss
coworker
frustration, cycles
open-source dev
code contributions
+
Solutions
Internal Documentation Principles
All docs are first-class docs.
Meet developers where they’re at (authoring and discovery).
Minimize the number of technologies.
Don’t repeat yourself (DRY).
All Docs are First Class
edited and architected by content professionals
delivered conveniently
accurate
polished
Meet Devs in Dev World
Use existing dev platforms
JIRA/GitHub Issues
Confluence/Wiki
Docs-as-code via Git
Commandline tools
Meet Devs in Dev World (Cont’d)
Deliver to accessible platform
Could be Confluence
Could be static site on company VPN
Could be GitHub wiki or Notion
Keep the Toolchain Short
SSG or Wiki/CMS?
collaboration platform
runtime environments / Docker
linters
deployment platform
Keep the Language Stack Shorter
Content markup (Markdown, AsciiDoc*, rST)
Data markup (YAML*, JSON, CSV)
Template markup (Liquid*, Jinja2, Handlebars)
Scripting (Bash*, Python, Rust, Golang)
Write Once, Deliver Everywhere
DRY / Single Source of Truth (SSoT)
True single sourcing defines product and docs
Minimize "hand-offs" between SMEs & documentarians
Conditionalize Source
Generate multiple versions of the same document
differ by audience role
differ by delivery method
Use modular content
if/else conditions
transclusion of reusable content
+
Examples
Example: AsciiDoc Conditonal & Transclusion
+
command
asciidoctor -a env-internal --out-file=docs.html docs.adoc
Example: YAML Truth Sourcing
properties:
+ base_url:
+ summary: The base path to the resource.
+ default: /resource
+ timeout:
+ summary: The timeout for the request in seconds.
+ default: 30
+ retries:
+ summary: The number of retries for the request.
+ default: 3
+ private: true
Example: Liquid Template
Example: Rendered AsciiDoc
Example: Converted to HTML or PDF
Example: Sample Config FIle
+
base_url: /resource # The base path to the resource.
+timeout: 30 # The timeout for the request in seconds.
