Task Type Default Attributes
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Task Type | Documentation Viewer |
| Category | Standalone |
| Next Task Type | N/A |
| Require Human Review | No |
Task Type Required Input Attributes
| Attribute | Default Value |
|---|---|
| Auto Proceed | False |
Definition of Ready (DoR)
| # | Checkpoint | Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project has x-ipe-docs/ folder with documentation | Yes |
Execution Flow
Execute Documentation Viewer by following these steps in order:
| Step | Name | Action | Gate to Next |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create Folder | Create doc-viewer/ directory | Folder exists |
| 2 | Create Server | Build server.py with API endpoint | Server file created |
| 3 | Create Viewer | Build index.html with marked.js and mermaid.js | HTML file created |
| 4 | Create README | Write usage instructions | README created |
| 5 | Test | Run server and verify docs display | Server works |
⛔ BLOCKING RULES:
- •Step 5: BLOCKED until server runs and displays documentation correctly
Execution Procedure
Step 1: Create Doc-Viewer Folder Structure
Target Structure:
project-root/
doc-viewer/
index.html # The documentation viewer web page
server.py # Python server with API for auto-detecting docs
README.md # Usage instructions
Actions:
1. Create `doc-viewer/` folder if not exist
Step 2: Create Python Server
Create doc-viewer/server.py with:
# Key features: # - Static file serving from project root # - /api/docs-structure endpoint that dynamically scans x-ipe-docs/ and .github/ # - No-cache headers for always showing latest content
Server Requirements:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Static Files | Serve files from project root |
| API Endpoint | GET /api/docs-structure returns JSON tree |
| Auto-Detection | Dynamically scan x-ipe-docs/ and .github/ folders |
| No Caching | Markdown files served with no-cache headers |
Step 3: Create HTML Viewer
Create doc-viewer/index.html with:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Left Sidebar | Navigation tree (fetched from API) |
| Right Side | Markdown content display area |
| Markdown Rendering | Use marked.js for markdown |
| Diagram Rendering | Use mermaid.js for flowcharts, class diagrams |
Step 4: Create README
Create doc-viewer/README.md with:
# Documentation Viewer ## Usage cd doc-viewer && python3 server.py # Open: http://localhost:8080/doc-viewer/ ## Features - Auto-detection: No manual config - just refresh to see new docs - No caching: Always shows latest content - Mermaid diagrams: Renders ```mermaid code blocks as interactive diagrams
Skill/Task Completion Output Attributes
This skill MUST return these attributes to the Task Data Model upon task completion:
Output:
category: standalone
status: completed | blocked
next_task_type: null
require_human_review: No
auto_proceed: {from input Auto Proceed}
task_output_links:
- doc-viewer/server.py
- doc-viewer/index.html
- doc-viewer/README.md
Definition of Done (DoD)
| # | Checkpoint | Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | doc-viewer/server.py created with API endpoint | Yes |
| 2 | doc-viewer/index.html created with sidebar and markdown viewer | Yes |
| 3 | doc-viewer/README.md created with usage instructions | Yes |
| 4 | Server runs and displays documentation | Yes |
Important: After completing this skill, always return to task-execution-guideline skill to continue the task execution flow and validate the DoD defined there.
Patterns
Pattern: Basic Documentation Viewer
When: Standard project with x-ipe-docs/ folder Then:
1. Create doc-viewer/ folder 2. Create server.py with /api/docs-structure 3. Create index.html with marked.js and mermaid.js 4. Create README.md 5. Test by running server
Pattern: GitHub Skills Integration
When: Project uses .github/skills/ folder Then:
1. Extend server.py to also scan .github/skills/ 2. Add skills section to navigation tree 3. Group by skill category
Pattern: Multiple Doc Folders
When: Docs split across multiple folders Then:
1. Configure server.py to scan all relevant folders 2. Add folder filters to API 3. Display folder groupings in sidebar
Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Why Bad | Do Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Manual doc config | High maintenance | Auto-detect from filesystem |
| Cache markdown files | Shows stale content | Use no-cache headers |
| Skip mermaid.js | Diagrams won't render | Always include mermaid.js |
| Embed CSS/JS inline | Hard to maintain | Use CDN links |
Example
Request: "Create documentation viewer for my project"
Execution:
1. Execute Task Flow from task-execution-guideline skill
2. Create doc-viewer/ folder
3. Create server.py:
- Serve static files from project root
- /api/docs-structure scans x-ipe-docs/ and .github/
- Returns JSON tree structure
- No-cache headers for markdown
4. Create index.html:
- Left sidebar with navigation tree
- Right side markdown display
- marked.js for markdown rendering
- mermaid.js for diagram rendering
5. Create README.md:
# Documentation Viewer
## Usage
cd doc-viewer && python3 server.py
# Open: http://localhost:8080/doc-viewer/
6. Test:
$ cd doc-viewer && python3 server.py
Server running at http://localhost:8080/doc-viewer/
✓ Navigation tree loads
✓ Markdown renders correctly
✓ Mermaid diagrams display
7. Return Task Completion Output:
category: Standalone
next_task_type: N/A
require_human_review: No
task_output_links:
- doc-viewer/server.py
- doc-viewer/index.html
- doc-viewer/README.md
8. Resume Task Flow from task-execution-guideline skill
