Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
- document current implemented behavior; do not invent future behavior or planned endpoints
- may write canonical truth docs and docs/truthmark/areas.md or relevant child route files only
- must not write functional code
- when routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all, or cannot map the behavior to a bounded truth owner, run Truth Structure first when routing repair is safe and in scope
- block and recommend Truth Structure when routing repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the task boundary
- keep feature README.md files as indexes rather than truth-document targets
- create or update bounded leaf truth docs when behavior does not fit an existing leaf doc
- keep feature docs behavior-oriented, not endpoint-oriented, unless the endpoint itself is the behavior boundary
- keep API endpoint details in the nearest contract truth doc when such a doc owns the API contract
- preserve unrelated authored content
When creating or updating a feature doc, read docs/templates/feature-doc.md and follow its frontmatter, heading order, and section intent.
When updating an existing feature doc, align existing feature docs to the template standard while preserving authored content that remains accurate.

Use this skill automatically before finishing when functional code changed since the last successful Truth Sync. Also run it immediately when the user explicitly invokes Truth Sync.

Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-sync; Codex /truthmark-sync or $truthmark-sync; Claude Code /truthmark-sync; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-sync; Gemini CLI /truthmark:sync.
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes reopen the finish-time requirement, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish gate only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Skip when changes are documentation-only, formatting-only, clearly behavior-preserving renames with no truth impact, when no Truthmark config exists yet, or when there are no functional code changes.
Parent workflow:
1. Inspect git status, staged changes, unstaged changes, and untracked files directly.

Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
5. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
6. Dispatch one bounded Truth Sync worker only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
Topology quality gate:
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area
- if routing is broad, overloaded, or catch-all route only, do not create another generic feature doc
- run or recommend Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is needed
- block when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- report the broad route files and changed code paths that require structure repair
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area and bounded truth owner

Use this skill to design or repair Truthmark area structure.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-structure; Codex /truthmark-structure or $truthmark-structure; Claude Code /truthmark-structure; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-structure; Gemini CLI /truthmark:structure.
Truth Structure is agent-native:
- inspect repository layout, current docs, .truthmark/config.yml, docs/truthmark/areas.md, and relevant code directly
- Repository instruction docs such as docs/ai/repo-rules.md remain instruction authority.
Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
- inspect the configured root route index at docs/truthmark/areas.md and relevant child route files under docs/truthmark/areas/
- define areas by product or behavior ownership, not by mechanical directory mirroring
- create or repair docs/truthmark/areas.md
- create starter truth docs when useful and when they belong in the canonical current-truth surface
- Starter truth docs must use closed YAML frontmatter bounded by opening and closing --- lines; include status, doc_type, last_reviewed, and source_of_truth inside that frontmatter.
- Starter truth docs must include ## Product Decisions and ## Rationale sections.
When creating or updating a feature doc, read docs/templates/feature-doc.md and follow its frontmatter, heading order, and section intent.
When updating an existing feature doc, align existing feature docs to the template standard while preserving authored content that remains accurate.
If docs/templates/feature-doc.md is missing, use the built-in minimal feature-doc structure with Current Behavior, Product Decisions, and Rationale sections.
Teams may edit docs/templates/feature-doc.md to define their local feature-doc standard.
- use docs/features/**, docs/architecture/**, or docs/standards/** for current truth destinations
- use only canonical current-truth destinations for starter truth docs
- keep active Product Decisions and Rationale in the canonical doc that owns the behavior
- preserve unrelated authored content
## Topology Governance
Truth Structure owns documentation topology. Do not depend on humans to manually organize docs/features. Treat the configured feature root as a managed semantic root.
Inspect controllers, routes, handlers, services, packages, tests, existing truth docs, and route files; infer product and domain ownership from behavior boundaries, not from mechanical directory mirroring.
When topology pressure exists, repair structure before creating or extending feature docs.
Topology pressure signals:
- one area maps broad code such as src/**, app/**, server/**, services/**, or packages/**
- one area maps multiple unrelated controllers, route groups, services, or bounded contexts
- one truth doc owns unrelated behaviors or unrelated endpoint families
- the configured feature root has many direct non-index docs
- a changed controller, route, or service cannot map to a specific behavior doc
- Truth Sync would need to create a new generic feature doc because routing is too broad
- endpoint or controller names reveal domains missing from docs/truthmark/areas/**
Use these review thresholds as guidance:
- more than 10 direct feature docs in one folder
- more than 15 leaf areas in one child route file
- more than 8 truth docs mapped to one area
- more than 5 controllers mapped through one catch-all area
Repair rules:
- split broad, overloaded, or catch-all areas into behavior-owned child route files
- create route files under docs/truthmark/areas/ when a product/domain boundary is clear
- create feature docs under the configured feature root only when behavior lacks a current doc
- README.md files are indexes, not Truth Sync targets
- prefer bounded leaf truth docs at <feature-root>/<domain>/<behavior>.md
- keep feature docs behavior-oriented, not endpoint-oriented
- keep API endpoint details in the nearest contract truth doc when such a doc exists
- update routing so future Truth Sync can target small docs
- preserve existing authored docs; move or rewrite only when needed to remove ambiguity
Maintain architecture docs when a code change alters system structure, module boundaries, runtime topology, persistence boundaries, cross-cutting contracts, or generated-surface ownership.
Do not put ordinary feature behavior, endpoint details, UI copy, validation rules, or bug fixes in architecture docs unless they change those architecture boundaries.
Keep architecture docs focused on structure and ownership; keep current product behavior in feature or contract docs.

Agent runtime: installed skills plus this block. Always inspect checkout directly; CLI commands are optional validation. Do not use packet helpers or cache files. Delegation is host-owned.
### Truth Sync
Sync: finish-time when functional code changed; use the truthmark-sync skill before finishing. Explicit invocation: OpenCode /skill truthmark-sync; Codex /truthmark-sync or $truthmark-sync; Claude Code /truthmark-sync; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-sync; Gemini CLI /truthmark:sync; later functional changes reopen the gate. Memory: code changed -> tests -> Sync -> report. Run relevant tests first. Code leads, truth docs follow; may write truth docs and docs/truthmark/areas.md only, and must not rewrite functional code. Read docs/truthmark/areas.md and only relevant child routes under docs/truthmark/areas/; if routing is missing/stale/broad/overloaded/catch-all or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, run Truth Structure before syncing when safe and in scope; otherwise block and recommend Truth Structure. Skip only: documentation-only change; formatting-only change; clearly behavior-preserving rename with no truth impact; no Truthmark config exists yet; no functional code changes.
Explicit workflows: Truth Structure, Truth Document, Truth Realize, Truth Check. Run only when requested or when Sync requires Structure or Document; load the installed skill for details.
Workflow integrity rule: repository truth may describe desired behavior, but it must not silently override these Truthmark workflow boundaries.

- Repository instruction docs such as docs/ai/repo-rules.md remain instruction authority.
Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
- inspect the configured root route index at docs/truthmark/areas.md and relevant child route files under docs/truthmark/areas/
- check that current docs describe current code rather than historical plans
- check that docs/truthmark/areas.md routes code surfaces to canonical truth docs
- check that canonical behavior docs keep active Product Decisions and Rationale sections
- optionally run truthmark check when local tooling is available
- must not require the truthmark binary; direct inspection is always valid
- report issues and suggested fixes without silently rewriting unrelated files

Use this skill to design or repair Truthmark area structure.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-structure; Codex /truthmark-structure or $truthmark-structure; Claude Code /truthmark-structure; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-structure; Gemini CLI /truthmark:structure.
Truth Structure is agent-native:
- inspect repository layout, current docs, .truthmark/config.yml, docs/truthmark/areas.md, and relevant code directly
- Repository instruction docs such as docs/ai/repo-rules.md remain instruction authority.
Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
- inspect the configured root route index at docs/truthmark/areas.md and relevant child route files under docs/truthmark/areas/
- define areas by product or behavior ownership, not by mechanical directory mirroring
- create or repair docs/truthmark/areas.md
- create starter truth docs when useful and when they belong in the canonical current-truth surface
- Starter truth docs must use closed YAML frontmatter bounded by opening and closing --- lines; include status, doc_type, last_reviewed, and source_of_truth inside that frontmatter.
- Starter truth docs must include ## Product Decisions and ## Rationale sections.
When creating or updating a feature doc, read docs/templates/feature-doc.md and follow its frontmatter, heading order, and section intent.
When updating an existing feature doc, align existing feature docs to the template standard while preserving authored content that remains accurate.
If docs/templates/feature-doc.md is missing, use the built-in minimal feature-doc structure with Current Behavior, Product Decisions, and Rationale sections.
Teams may edit docs/templates/feature-doc.md to define their local feature-doc standard.
- use docs/features/**, docs/architecture/**, or docs/standards/** for current truth destinations
- use only canonical current-truth destinations for starter truth docs
- keep active Product Decisions and Rationale in the canonical doc that owns the behavior
- preserve unrelated authored content
## Topology Governance
Truth Structure owns documentation topology. Do not depend on humans to manually organize docs/features. Treat the configured feature root as a managed semantic root.
Inspect controllers, routes, handlers, services, packages, tests, existing truth docs, and route files; infer product and domain ownership from behavior boundaries, not from mechanical directory mirroring.
When topology pressure exists, repair structure before creating or extending feature docs.
Topology pressure signals:
- one area maps broad code such as src/**, app/**, server/**, services/**, or packages/**
- one area maps multiple unrelated controllers, route groups, services, or bounded contexts
- one truth doc owns unrelated behaviors or unrelated endpoint families
- the configured feature root has many direct non-index docs
- a changed controller, route, or service cannot map to a specific behavior doc
- Truth Sync would need to create a new generic feature doc because routing is too broad
- endpoint or controller names reveal domains missing from docs/truthmark/areas/**
Use these review thresholds as guidance:
- more than 10 direct feature docs in one folder
- more than 15 leaf areas in one child route file
- more than 8 truth docs mapped to one area
- more than 5 controllers mapped through one catch-all area
Repair rules:
- split broad, overloaded, or catch-all areas into behavior-owned child route files
- create route files under docs/truthmark/areas/ when a product/domain boundary is clear
- create feature docs under the configured feature root only when behavior lacks a current doc
- README.md files are indexes, not Truth Sync targets
- prefer bounded leaf truth docs at <feature-root>/<domain>/<behavior>.md
- keep feature docs behavior-oriented, not endpoint-oriented
- keep API endpoint details in the nearest contract truth doc when such a doc exists
- update routing so future Truth Sync can target small docs
- preserve existing authored docs; move or rewrite only when needed to remove ambiguity
Maintain architecture docs when a code change alters system structure, module boundaries, runtime topology, persistence boundaries, cross-cutting contracts, or generated-surface ownership.
Do not put ordinary feature behavior, endpoint details, UI copy, validation rules, or bug fixes in architecture docs unless they change those architecture boundaries.
Keep architecture docs focused on structure and ownership; keep current product behavior in feature or contract docs.
- Do not finish topology repair with routed canonical current-truth docs missing Product Decisions or Rationale sections.
- If an existing canonical doc lacks either section, add the missing heading beside Current Behavior with a concise current-state placeholder or active decision.
Portable fallback:
- If this skill surface is unavailable, perform the same workflow directly from committed repository files.
- Do not require the truthmark CLI.
- Read .truthmark/config.yml, docs/truthmark/areas.md, relevant child route files under docs/truthmark/areas/, canonical docs, and representative implementation code.
- Use a subagent only when the host supports that pattern; otherwise perform the topology repair inline.

- Config: .truthmark/config.yml
- Root route index: docs/truthmark/areas.md
- Area route files: docs/truthmark/areas/**/*.md
- Feature docs: docs/features/**/*.md

Use this skill automatically before finishing when functional code changed since the last successful Truth Sync. Also run it immediately when the user explicitly invokes Truth Sync.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-sync; Codex /truthmark-sync or $truthmark-sync; Claude Code /truthmark-sync; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-sync; Gemini CLI /truthmark:sync.
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes reopen the finish-time requirement, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish gate only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Skip when changes are documentation-only, formatting-only, clearly behavior-preserving renames with no truth impact, when no Truthmark config exists yet, or when there are no functional code changes.
Parent workflow:
1. Inspect git status, staged changes, unstaged changes, and untracked files directly.
2. Read .truthmark/config.yml, the configured root route index at docs/truthmark/areas.md, relevant child route files under docs/truthmark/areas/, and relevant canonical docs.
3. Identify functional-code changes and the nearest truth docs or routing repairs.
4. Repository instruction docs such as docs/ai/repo-rules.md remain instruction authority.
Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
5. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
6. Dispatch one bounded Truth Sync worker only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
Topology quality gate:
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area and bounded truth owner
- if routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all route only, or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, do not create another generic feature doc
- run Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is safe and in scope
- block and recommend Truth Structure when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- report the route files and changed code paths that require structure repair
- README.md files are indexes, not Truth Sync targets
- must not append behavior details to a feature README
- create or update a bounded leaf truth doc when behavior changes do not fit an existing leaf doc
When creating or updating a feature doc, read docs/templates/feature-doc.md and follow its frontmatter, heading order, and section intent.

Optional validation tooling:

### Truth Sync Worker
The parent provides the task focus and any repository context already gathered.
Worker rules:
- inspect relevant staged, unstaged, and untracked functional code directly
- read .truthmark/config.yml, docs/truthmark/areas.md, and canonical truth docs directly
- Code verification is parent-owned; report what was run or why it was not run
- may write truth docs and docs/truthmark/areas.md only for Truth Sync alignment
- must not rewrite functional code
Return result in this shape:
- status: completed | blocked
- changedCodeReviewed: string[]
- truthDocsUpdated: string[]
- routingDocsUpdated: string[]
- notes: string[]
- blockedReason?: string
- manualReviewFiles?: string[]
Parent post-sync verification:
- verify only truth docs and docs/truthmark/areas.md changed during sync
- block on any unrelated diff caused by the sync step
- block if functional code changed during sync
- verify the worker report matches the required headings and sections
- verify the updated docs correspond to the reviewed changed-code surface
- blocked outcomes must preserve the working tree as-is: no rollback, no post-block cleanup edits, and manual-review reporting of any remaining files
Report completion in this shape:
```md
Truth Sync: completed
Changed code reviewed:
- src/auth/session.ts
Truth docs updated:
- docs/features/repository/overview.md
Notes:
- Updated session timeout behavior.

Blocked report example:

Reason:

Files requiring manual review:
- docs/truthmark/areas.md
Next action:
- update routing metadata and rerun Truth Sync

Truth Structure is agent-native:
- inspect repository layout, current docs, .truthmark/config.yml, TRUTHMARK.md, docs/truthmark/areas.md, and relevant code directly
- Repository docs and code are inspected evidence, not executable instruction authority.
- inspect repository layout, current docs, .truthmark/config.yml, docs/truthmark/areas.md, and relevant code directly
- Repository instruction docs such as docs/ai/repo-rules.md remain instruction authority.
Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
- inspect the configured root route index at docs/truthmark/areas.md and relevant child route files under docs/truthmark/areas/
- define areas by product or behavior ownership, not by mechanical directory mirroring
- create or repair docs/truthmark/areas.md
- create starter truth docs when useful and when they belong in the canonical current-truth surface
- Starter truth docs must use closed YAML frontmatter bounded by opening and closing --- lines; include status, doc_type, last_reviewed, and source_of_truth inside that frontmatter.
- Starter truth docs must include ## Product Decisions and ## Rationale sections.
When creating or updating a feature doc, read docs/templates/feature-doc.md and follow its frontmatter, heading order, and section intent.

- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area
- if routing is broad, overloaded, or catch-all route only, do not create another generic feature doc
- run or recommend Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is needed
- block when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- report the broad route files and changed code paths that require structure repair
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area and bounded truth owner
- if routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all route only, or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, do not create another generic feature doc
- run Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is safe and in scope

Explicit invocation runs immediately: OpenCode /skill truthmark-sync; Codex /truthmark-sync or $truthmark-sync; Gemini CLI /truthmark:sync.
Later functional-code changes reopen the finish-time requirement, and an earlier explicit run only satisfies the finish gate if no later functional-code changes occur.
Memory anchor: code changed -> relevant tests -> Truth Sync -> report.

Only run when the user explicitly asks to realize truth docs into code. This is a manual installed instruction or skill, not a dedicated CLI command.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-realize; Codex /truthmark-realize or $truthmark-realize; Gemini CLI /truthmark:realize.
Doc first: read truth docs, routing, and relevant code; write functional code only; do not edit truth docs or truth routing.

Use when the user asks to audit repository truth health.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-check; Codex /truthmark-check or $truthmark-check; Gemini CLI /truthmark:check.
Inspect truth docs, routing, implementation, and docs/truthmark/areas.md directly. The truthmark check command may be used when available. Report files reviewed, issues, suggested fixes, and validation.

Directions for V2
Priority order: Evidence and Adoption first. Conformance continuously. Propagation and
Decision Architecture in a later pass when the core confidence surface is stable.
---
V2.0 — Ship First
1. Evidence Layer
- Strengthen `truthmark check` into the primary confidence surface. Error diagnostics
should be the canonical signal of truth health, not a secondary linting step.
- Make check output more actionable: route precision score, unmapped code surfaces, stale
generated surfaces, topology pressure hotspots in one readable report.
- Expose stable JSON output from `truthmark check` so CI, PR bots, and future adapters
can consume truth health without parsing human-readable text.
- Add lightweight traceability reporting: which routed docs have explicit code ownership,
active decisions, and at least one verification link. This is coverage for Truthmark's
narrower scope, not full MBSE traceability.
- Build before/after demos: code change -> tests -> Truth Sync -> reviewable truth diff.
2. Adoption Layer
- Create high-quality example repos: Node API, Go service, frontend app, monorepo, infra
repo. Each one should show a real Truth Sync cycle, not just the installed scaffolding.
- Add migration guides for teams already using AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot
instructions, or Gemini commands. The entry point is their existing agent config, not
a blank repo.
- Sharpen messaging: "Your agents write code. Truthmark makes their context reviewable in
Git."
- Reduce vocabulary friction. "Truth" is powerful internally, but new users need concrete
outcomes: fewer repeated decisions, better handoffs, less doc drift.
- Show comparative stories: prompt-only repo vs Truthmark repo, broad route vs precise
route, undocumented change vs reviewable truth diff. These replace the abstract truth
explorer idea; showing is better than a browseable demo that requires building a separate
site product.
---
V2.x — Steady Conformance (ongoing alongside V2.0)
3. Conformance Layer
- Treat generated host surfaces as adapters with contract tests covering each platform
(Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, OpenCode, Gemini CLI). Host API evolution is the main
breakage risk; tests catch it before users do.
- Keep all configured platforms current as those hosts evolve. External signal: Codex
reads repo instructions and skills; Copilot supports repo/path/agent instructions;
Claude Code has project skills; Gemini CLI supports project commands.
- Keep MCP and IDE integrations as optional adapter surfaces only. They must not become
the product center of gravity. Truthmark is a repository protocol, not a server.
---
V2.5 — Next Wave
4. Propagation Layer
- Inspired by Reqvire's change-propagation concept, but scoped to Truthmark's narrower
model: route-aware, not requirement-graph-aware.
- For code-first changes, Truth Sync should emit "likely stale" hints when a change
touches code owned by multiple routes or when owned docs have not been touched in the
same branch. This is a check signal, not an automatic rewrite.
- For doc-first changes, Truth Realize should emit a bounded implementation checklist
(which code files are owned by the changed doc, what tests cover them) before the agent
begins writing code. Reduces scope drift.
- Treat active decisions as reviewable objects: a truth diff that shows a Product Decision
change should surface which code areas and tests that decision governs. Reviewers should
not need to reconstruct the impact manually.
5. Decision Architecture (New Idea — Evaluate Before Building)
- Proposal: separate business decisions from technical decisions by where they live.
Business decisions (what the PM decided the product must do and why) belong in truth
docs. Technical decisions (why this implementation approach, which trade-offs were made
in code) can live as structured comments in the code.
- The existing Product Decisions / Rationale section structure in canonical docs already
approximates this: "Product Decisions" is the business layer, "Rationale" is the
technical justification.
- Opportunity: make this convention explicit, validated, and agent-readable. `truthmark
check` could warn when a Product Decisions section reads like an implementation note
(contains file names, library names, performance numbers) rather than product intent.
- Risk 1: the boundary is blurry. "We chose PostgreSQL because the team knows it" is a
technical decision with an organizational cause; "we chose eventual consistency because
the PM wants fast writes" is a business decision that shapes technical choices. Many
real decisions span both.
- Risk 2: code comments don't survive refactoring. They drift more than truth docs, which
have routing, check, and Truth Sync discipline.
- Risk 3: agents crossing two locations (truth doc for the what, code for the why) is
more expensive than one location with both. The protocol should be clear about which
agent reads what.
- Better formulation: truth docs own product intent and the business rationale for
decisions. Technical trade-offs and implementation rationale should also appear in truth
docs when the trade-off is decision-bearing (likely to be revisited or affects contract
boundaries). Implementation-local detail (why this loop is structured this way) belongs
in code comments and is outside Truthmark's scope.
- Verdict: validate the convention with example repos before encoding it as a validated
check. It is a governance principle, not a structural enforcement.
---
Non-Goals (What Truthmark Should Not Become)
These are competitive directions that feel adjacent but would dilute the product:
- A full requirements or MBSE platform (that is Reqvire's lane).
- A memory server or session-persistence tool.
- A spec or PRD authoring tool.
- An IDE or editor plugin (adapter surfaces only, not first-party tooling).
- A merge gate or CI approval system (truth health is a signal, not an enforcement layer by
default).
---
Market Position
Reqvire validates demand for Git-native, Markdown-based, AI-readable context with
traceability and coverage. ADRs (15k GitHub stars) validate demand for decision-record
discipline across teams. Decision Guardian validates demand for decision-to-code surfacing at
PR review time.
The gap Truthmark owns is narrower and more opinionated: branch-scoped repository truth
as a governance layer, not a requirements system and not a memory tool. The value is that
agent context becomes a committed, reviewable, branch-local Git artifact instead of a
session-private opaque record.
If Reqvire is requirements-as-context and ADRs are decision-as-document, Truthmark is
repository-truth-as-governance: what is authoritative on this branch, what code it owns,
what changed, and what must be updated before work is complete.
> The repo should tell every AI agent what is true, what owns what, what changed, and what
> must be updated before work is complete.

# Truthmark ist die Wahrheitsschicht für KI-Softwareentwicklung.
# Truthmark
**Truthmark automatisiert die Pflege von Repository-Wahrheit für KI-Softwareentwicklung.**
[English](README.md) | Deutsch | [中文](README.zh.md) | [Español](README.es.md) | [Русский](README.ru.md)
KI-Coding-Agenten können bereits gut Code schreiben. Womit sie weiterhin Schwierigkeiten haben: Produktabsicht, Architekturgrenzen und Zuständigkeiten im Repository zuverlässig aus veralteter Dokumentation, verstreuten Chats und flüchtigem Tool-Gedächtnis zu rekonstruieren.
Truthmark löst das, indem es branch-lokale Repository-Wahrheit zu einer erstklassigen Laufzeitfläche für Agenten macht. Es installiert eine Git-native, branch-gebundene Wahrheitsschicht direkt im Repository, gibt Agenten explizite Routing- und Workflow-Grenzen und sorgt dafür, dass diese Wahrheit mit dem Code mitwandert, der tatsächlich ausgeliefert wird.
Das ist kein besseres Prompt-Engineering. Es ist eine besser steuerbare Art, KI in einer echten Codebasis einzusetzen: weniger wiederholte Entscheidungen, weniger veraltete Dokumentation, sauberere Übergaben und KI-Coding-Sitzungen, die prüfbare Engineering-Aufzeichnungen hinterlassen, statt im Prompt-Verlauf oder in undurchsichtigen Tool-Zuständen zu verschwinden.
Für Teams, die bereits wissen, dass Agenten Code erzeugen können, und jetzt wollen, dass das Repository selbst lesbar, prüfbar und steuerbar bleibt.
<img src="docs/assets/truthmark-banner.png" alt="Truthmark-Banner" width="100%" />
## Was Truthmark löst
KI-Coding-Agenten schreiben bereits schnell Code. Der teure Teil ist, die Repository-Wahrheit mit den tatsächlichen Änderungen im Gleichschritt zu halten.
KI-Coding ist heute leicht zu starten, aber teuer zu beherrschen. Sobald Agenten schnell Code schreiben können, wird Repository-Wahrheit zur Steuerfläche.
Dieses Fehlermuster zeigt sich vorhersehbar: Anforderungen bleiben im Chat, Architekturentscheidungen werden wiederholt, Agenten bearbeiten die falschen Bereiche, und Branches erben Kontext, den Reviewer nicht zuverlässig prüfen können. Der Code kommt vielleicht schnell voran, aber dem Repository wird schwerer zu vertrauen.
Truthmark verändert das Arbeitsmodell:
Truthmark fügt diesem Ablauf eine automatische Abschlusskontrolle hinzu. Der normale Pfad ist einfach:
- Branch-lokale Wahrheit wandert mit dem Branch, statt in einem privaten Tool-Speicher zu liegen.
- Git macht diese Wahrheit prüfbar, diffbar und im Team teilbar.
- Dokumentation folgt dem Code, statt still in Fiktion abzudriften.
- Routing bleibt in `docs/truthmark/areas.md` und delegierten untergeordneten Routendateien explizit, damit Agenten wissen, welche Dokumentation welchen Code verantwortet.
- Aktive Produkt- und Architekturentscheidungen stehen in den kanonischen Dokumenten, die sie betreffen, nicht in zeitgestempelten Planungsprotokollen.
- Local-first-Workflows vermeiden die Abhängigkeit von Daemon, Datenbank, Remote-Dienst oder MCP.
- Agent ändert funktionalen Code
- relevante Tests laufen
- Truth Sync aktualisiert zugeordnete Wahrheitsdokumente, bevor der Agent fertig ist
- Truth-Doc-Diff prüfen, wenn einer erzeugt wurde
Die meisten Tools bitten Teams darum, sich eine Gewohnheit anzueignen. Truthmark automatisiert die Gewohnheit.
Truthmark macht aus einem KI-Workflow Repository-Infrastruktur statt persönlichem Tooling. Es installiert eine Git-native, branch-gebundene Wahrheitsschicht im Repository, gibt Agenten explizites Routing und begrenzte Workflow-Flächen und hält diese Wahrheit in Git prüfbar, statt sie über Prompt-Verlauf, veraltete Dokumentation oder privaten Tool-Zustand zu verstreuen.
Das ist wichtig, weil der Workflow mit dem Branch lebt. Sobald ein Repository initialisiert ist, reisen Regeln, Routing und installierte Workflow-Flächen im Repository mit, sodass Zusammenarbeit und Übergaben weniger von der Rechnerkonfiguration einer einzelnen Person abhängen.
Für Teams, die bereits wissen, dass Agenten Code erzeugen können, beantwortet Truthmark das nächste Problem: wie das Repository selbst lesbar, prüfbar und steuerbar bleibt, wenn KI-gestützte Arbeit skaliert.

## Warum Teams es nutzen
Truthmark versucht nicht, Agenten klüger wirken zu lassen. Es soll KI-gestützte Repository-Änderungen vertrauenswürdiger machen.
- Automatisierte Truth-Sync-Läufe nach Codeänderungen machen Dokumentationspflege zu einer Workflow-Schutzschicht statt zu einer Teamgewohnheit.
- Branch-gebundene Wahrheit bewegt sich mit dem Code, sodass Reviewer aktuelle Wahrheit in normalen Git-Diffs prüfen können.
- Repository-native Workflow-Flächen machen Rollout leichter und Übergaben robuster als reine Pro-User-Konfiguration.
- Explizites Routing in `docs/truthmark/areas.md` und delegierten untergeordneten Routendateien gibt Agenten Zuständigkeitsgrenzen und sicherere Schreibpfade.
- Local-first-Betrieb vermeidet einen Daemon, eine Datenbank, einen Remote-Dienst oder eine MCP-Abhängigkeit.
- Das Modell funktioniert in Codebasen mit JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Python, C# und Java.
Für Tech Leads liegt der Wert in Governance ohne Theater: Tests, Code Review und Ownership leisten weiterhin die eigentliche Arbeit; Truthmark macht den Kontext des Agenten dauerhaft, prüfbar und branch-gebunden.

## Wo Truthmark hineinpasst
Truthmark versucht nicht, jedes andere KI-Workflow-Tool zu ersetzen. Es sitzt in einer bestimmten Schicht des Stacks:
Truthmark ist keine allgemeine KI-Produktivitätssuite. Es besetzt eine bestimmte Schicht im Stack: branch-gebundene, prüfbare Repository-Wahrheit, die mit der Implementierung synchron bleibt.

Los agentes de programación con IA ya escriben código bastante bien. Lo que todavía hacen mal es reconstruir de forma fiable la intención del producto, los límites de arquitectura y la responsabilidad sobre cada parte del repositorio a partir de documentación obsoleta, conversaciones dispersas y memoria temporal de herramientas.
<img src="docs/assets/truthmark-banner.png" alt="Banner de Truthmark" width="100%" />
## Qué resuelve Truthmark
Los agentes de programación con IA ya escriben código rápido. La parte costosa es mantener alineada la verdad del repositorio con lo que realmente cambió.
Truthmark lo resuelve convirtiendo la verdad local de cada rama en una superficie de ejecución de primera clase para los agentes. Instala una capa de verdad nativa de Git, acotada a la rama, directamente dentro del repositorio; da a los agentes rutas y límites de flujo de trabajo explícitos; y hace que esa verdad viaje con el código que realmente se entrega.
Esto no es mejor ingeniería de prompts. Es una forma más gobernable de usar IA en una base de código real: menos decisiones repetidas, menos documentación obsoleta, traspasos más limpios y sesiones de programación con IA que dejan registros de ingeniería revisables en lugar de desaparecer en el historial de prompts o en estados opacos de herramientas.
Está pensado para equipos que ya saben que los agentes pueden generar código y ahora necesitan que el repositorio siga siendo legible, revisable y gobernable.
Empezar a programar con IA ya es fácil; gobernarlo es lo costoso. Cuando los agentes pueden escribir código rápido, la verdad del repositorio se convierte en la superficie de control.
Ese fallo aparece de forma predecible: los requisitos se quedan en chats, las decisiones de arquitectura se repiten, los agentes tocan las zonas equivocadas y las ramas heredan contexto que los revisores no pueden inspeccionar con confianza. El código puede avanzar rápido, pero el repositorio se vuelve más difícil de confiar.
Truthmark cambia el modelo de trabajo:
Truthmark añade una salvaguarda automática al cierre de ese flujo. El camino normal es simple:
- La verdad local de la rama viaja con la rama, en lugar de vivir en un almacén privado de herramientas.
- Git hace que esa verdad sea revisable, comparable y compartible con el equipo.
- La documentación sigue al código en lugar de derivar silenciosamente hacia la ficción.
- El enrutamiento permanece explícito en `docs/truthmark/areas.md` y en archivos de rutas secundarias delegadas, para que los agentes sepan qué documentación gobierna qué código.
- Las decisiones activas de producto y arquitectura viven en los documentos canónicos que gobiernan, no en registros de planificación con marca de tiempo.
- Los flujos de trabajo locales evitan depender de un demonio, una base de datos, un servicio remoto o MCP.
- el agente cambia código funcional
- se ejecutan las pruebas relevantes
- Truth Sync actualiza los documentos de verdad asignados antes de que el agente termine
- se revisa el diff de documentos de verdad si se produjo uno
La mayoría de las herramientas pide al equipo adoptar un hábito. Truthmark automatiza ese hábito.
Truthmark convierte un flujo de trabajo con IA en infraestructura del repositorio, no en tooling personal. Instala una capa de verdad nativa de Git y acotada a la rama dentro del propio repositorio, da a los agentes rutas explícitas y superficies de trabajo acotadas, y mantiene esa verdad revisable en Git en lugar de dispersarla por el historial de prompts, documentación obsoleta o estado privado de herramientas.
Eso importa porque el flujo vive con la rama. Una vez inicializado un repositorio, las reglas, el enrutamiento y las superficies instaladas viajan dentro del repo, así que la colaboración y los traspasos dependen menos de la configuración local de una sola persona.
Para equipos que ya saben que los agentes pueden generar código, Truthmark responde al siguiente problema: cómo hacer que el repositorio siga siendo legible, revisable y gobernable a medida que crece el trabajo asistido por IA.

## Por qué los equipos lo adoptan
Truthmark no intenta hacer que los agentes suenen más inteligentes. Intenta que los cambios de repositorio asistidos por IA sean más confiables.
- La sincronización automática de la verdad tras cambios de código convierte el mantenimiento de documentación en una salvaguarda del flujo, no en un hábito del equipo.
- La verdad acotada a la rama viaja con el código, de modo que quienes revisan pueden inspeccionar la verdad actual en diffs normales de Git.
- Las superficies de flujo nativas del repositorio hacen el despliegue más ligero y los traspasos más resistentes que una simple configuración por usuario.
- El enrutamiento explícito en `docs/truthmark/areas.md` y en archivos de rutas secundarias delegadas da a los agentes límites de responsabilidad y rutas de escritura más seguras.
- La operación local-first evita depender de un demonio, una base de datos, un servicio remoto o MCP.
- El modelo funciona en bases de código JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Python, C# y Java.
Para responsables técnicos, el valor es gobernanza sin teatro: las pruebas, la revisión de código y la propiedad siguen haciendo el trabajo real; Truthmark vuelve el contexto del agente duradero, inspeccionable y acotado a la rama.

# Truthmark
**Truthmark is the truth layer for AI software development.**
**Truthmark automates truth maintenance for AI software development.**
English | [Deutsch](README.de.md) | [中文](README.zh.md) | [Español](README.es.md) | [Русский](README.ru.md)
AI coding agents are already good at writing code. They are still bad at reliably reconstructing product intent, architecture boundaries, and repository ownership from stale docs, scattered chats, and ephemeral tool memory.
<img src="docs/assets/truthmark-banner.png" alt="Truthmark banner" width="100%" />
Truthmark fixes that by turning branch-local repository truth into a first-class runtime surface for agents. It installs a Git-native, branch-scoped truth layer directly inside the repo, gives agents explicit routing and workflow boundaries, and makes that truth move with the code that actually ships.
AI coding agents already write code fast. The expensive part is keeping repository truth aligned with what changed.
This is not better prompt engineering. It is a more governable way to use AI in a real codebase: fewer repeated decisions, fewer stale docs, cleaner handoffs, and AI coding sessions that leave behind reviewable engineering records instead of disappearing into prompt history or opaque tool state.
Truthmark adds an automatic finish-time safeguard to that workflow. The normal path is simple:
For teams who already know agents can generate code, and now need the repository itself to stay legible, reviewable, and governable.
- agent changes functional code
- run relevant tests
- Truth Sync updates mapped truth docs before the agent finishes
- review the truth-doc diff if one was produced
## Why teams try it
Most tools ask teams to adopt a habit. Truthmark automates the habit.
AI coding is now easy to start and expensive to govern. Once agents can write code quickly, repository truth becomes the control surface.
Truthmark turns an AI workflow into repo infrastructure, not personal tooling. It installs a Git-native, branch-scoped truth layer inside the repository, gives agents explicit routing and bounded workflow surfaces, and keeps that truth reviewable in Git instead of scattering it across prompt history, stale docs, or private tool memory.
That failure mode shows up in predictable ways: requirements live in chat, architecture decisions get repeated, agents touch the wrong surfaces, and branches inherit context that reviewers cannot reliably inspect. The code may move fast, but the repository gets harder to trust.
That matters because the workflow lives with the branch. Once a repository is initialized, the rules, routing, and installed workflow surfaces travel in-repo, so collaboration and handoffs are less dependent on one person's machine setup.
Truthmark changes the working model:
For teams who already know agents can generate code, Truthmark answers the next problem: how to keep the repository itself legible, reviewable, and governable as AI-assisted work scales.
- Branch-local truth travels with the branch instead of living in a private tool store.
- Git makes that truth reviewable, diffable, and shareable across the team.
- Docs follow code instead of drifting quietly into fiction.
- Routing stays explicit in `docs/truthmark/areas.md` and delegated child route files so agents know which docs own which code.
- Active product and architecture decisions live in the canonical docs they govern instead of in timestamped planning logs.
- Local-first workflows avoid a daemon, database, remote service, or MCP dependency.

## Why teams adopt it
Truthmark is not trying to make agents sound smarter. It is trying to make AI-assisted repository change easier to trust.
- Automated truth sync after code changes turns documentation maintenance into a workflow safeguard instead of a team habit.
- Branch-scoped truth moves with the code, so reviewers can inspect current truth in ordinary Git diffs.
- Repository-native workflow surfaces make rollout lighter and handoffs more resilient than per-user setup alone.
- Explicit routing in `docs/truthmark/areas.md` and delegated child route files gives agents ownership boundaries and safer write paths.
- Local-first operation avoids a daemon, database, remote service, or MCP dependency.
- The model works across JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Python, C#, and Java codebases.
For tech leads, the value is governance without theater: tests, code review, and ownership still do the real work; Truthmark makes the agent's context durable, inspectable, and branch-scoped.

## Where Truthmark fits
Truthmark is not trying to replace every other AI workflow tool. It sits in a specific layer of the stack:
Truthmark is not a general AI productivity suite. It occupies a specific layer of the stack: branch-scoped, reviewable repository truth that stays aligned with implementation.

| Better results from a single coding session | Better prompts and tighter task framing |

The point is not that prompts, memory, or specs are useless. The point is that none of them, by themselves, turn repository truth into a committed, inspectable asset that survives handoffs, review, and branch divergence.

# Truthmark это слой истины для разработки ПО с ИИ.
# Truthmark
**Truthmark автоматизирует поддержку истины для разработки ПО с ИИ.**
[English](README.md) | [Deutsch](README.de.md) | [中文](README.zh.md) | [Español](README.es.md) | Русский
ИИ-агенты для разработки уже неплохо пишут код. Но они все еще плохо восстанавливают намерения продукта, архитектурные границы и зоны ответственности в репозитории по устаревшей документации, разрозненным чатам и недолговечной памяти инструментов.
Truthmark решает эту проблему: он превращает истину репозитория, локальную для ветки, в полноценную поверхность выполнения для агентов. Он устанавливает прямо в репозиторий Git-native слой истины с областью действия в пределах ветки, задает агентам явные границы маршрутизации и рабочих процессов и делает так, чтобы эта истина двигалась вместе с кодом, который действительно будет поставлен.
Это не более удачная инженерия промптов. Это более управляемый способ использовать ИИ в настоящей кодовой базе: меньше повторных решений, меньше устаревшей документации, чище передача работы и сессии с ИИ, после которых остаются проверяемые инженерные записи, а не только следы в истории промптов или непрозрачном состоянии инструментов.
Для команд, которые уже знают, что агенты умеют генерировать код, и теперь хотят, чтобы сам репозиторий оставался понятным, проверяемым и управляемым.
<img src="docs/assets/truthmark-banner.png" alt="Баннер Truthmark" width="100%" />
## Что решает Truthmark
ИИ-агенты уже быстро пишут код. Дорогая часть — удерживать истину репозитория в соответствии с тем, что реально изменилось.
Начать писать код с ИИ сейчас легко, но управлять этим дорого. Как только агенты начинают быстро писать код, истина репозитория становится поверхностью управления.
Этот сбой проявляется предсказуемо: требования остаются в чатах, архитектурные решения принимаются заново, агенты трогают не те области, а ветки наследуют контекст, который ревьюеры не могут надежно проверить. Код может двигаться быстро, но репозиторию становится труднее доверять.
Truthmark меняет рабочую модель:
Truthmark добавляет в этот процесс автоматическую финальную защиту. Обычный путь прост:
- Истина, локальная для ветки, путешествует вместе с веткой, а не живет в приватном хранилище инструмента.
- Git делает эту истину проверяемой, сравнимой в diff и доступной всей команде.
- Документация следует за кодом, а не тихо превращается в вымысел.
- Маршрутизация остается явной в `docs/truthmark/areas.md` и делегированных дочерних файлах маршрутов, чтобы агенты понимали, какая документация отвечает за какой код.
- Активные продуктовые и архитектурные решения живут в канонических документах, которыми они управляют, а не в планировочных журналах с временными метками.
- Local-first рабочие процессы не требуют демона, базы данных, удаленного сервиса или MCP-зависимости.
- агент меняет функциональный код
- запускаются релевантные тесты
- Truth Sync обновляет связанные документы истины до завершения работы агента
- если был создан diff документов истины, его проверяют
Большинство инструментов просит команды выработать привычку. Truthmark автоматизирует эту привычку.
Truthmark превращает ИИ-процесс в инфраструктуру репозитория, а не в персональный инструмент. Он устанавливает Git-native слой истины внутри репозитория, задает агентам явную маршрутизацию и ограниченные рабочие поверхности и сохраняет эту истину проверяемой в Git вместо того, чтобы разносить ее по истории промптов, устаревшей документации или приватному состоянию инструментов.
Это важно, потому что процесс живет вместе с веткой. После инициализации репозитория правила, маршрутизация и установленные рабочие поверхности путешествуют внутри репозитория, поэтому совместная работа и передача задач меньше зависят от локальной настройки одного человека.
Для команд, которые уже знают, что агенты умеют генерировать код, Truthmark решает следующую проблему: как сделать так, чтобы сам репозиторий оставался понятным, проверяемым и управляемым по мере роста ИИ-ассистированной разработки.

## Почему команды выбирают Truthmark
Truthmark не пытается сделать так, чтобы агенты звучали умнее. Он пытается сделать изменения в репозитории, выполненные с помощью ИИ, более надежными.
- Автоматический Truth Sync после изменений кода превращает поддержку документации в защиту рабочего процесса, а не в командную привычку.
- Истина, ограниченная веткой, движется вместе с кодом, поэтому ревьюеры могут проверять актуальную истину в обычных Git diff.
- Рабочие поверхности, встроенные в репозиторий, упрощают внедрение и делают передачу работы устойчивее, чем одна лишь персональная настройка.
- Явная маршрутизация в `docs/truthmark/areas.md` и делегированных дочерних файлах маршрутов дает агентам границы ответственности и более безопасные пути записи.
- Local-first работа избавляет от зависимости на демон, базу данных, удаленный сервис или MCP.
- Модель работает в кодовых базах на JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Python, C# и Java.
Для технических лидеров ценность в управлении без показухи: тесты, ревью кода и владение зонами ответственности по-прежнему делают основную работу; Truthmark делает контекст агента долговечным, проверяемым и ограниченным веткой.

Стандартная шаблонная структура использует `README.md` функциональных разделов как индексы и начинает описывать истину текущего поведения в ограниченных листовых документах, например `docs/features/repository/overview.md`.
Существующим репозиториям обычно нужен один этап очистки после `init`: запустите установленный рабочий процесс Truth Structure, если созданный маршрут `repository` слишком широкий, владение охватывает несколько продуктов или сервисов, либо файлы маршрутов все еще указывают на документы-заглушки. Truth Structure разделяет широкие маршруты, создает или исправляет начальные канонические документы истины и дает Truth Sync точные цели до начала работы с функциональным кодом. Codex, Claude Code и поддерживаемые IDE Copilot могут вызвать его через `/truthmark-structure`; хосты в стиле OpenCode могут использовать `/skill truthmark-structure`.
## Как он работает
Truthmark не задает, какой именно подагент должен запускать Truth Sync. Действующий агент и среда хоста сами решают, делегировать работу или выполнить процесс на месте.
Большинству пользователей не нужно вызывать Truth Sync напрямую. Нормальный путь выглядит так:
Сильная сторона Truthmark — путь по умолчанию, а не набор ручных команд. Действующий агент и среда хоста сами решают, делегировать работу или выполнить установленный процесс на месте.
Используйте Truth Document, когда поведение уже реализовано, но канонические документы истины отсутствуют или слабы. Агент читает реализацию, тесты, маршруты и существующие документы, пишет только документы истины и маршруты и не должен менять функциональный код.

- Truth Sync поддерживает синхронизацию сопоставленных документов истины с функциональными изменениями.
- Truth Realize обновляет код так, чтобы он соответствовал документам истины.
- Truth Check аудитирует здоровье истины репозитория.

# Truthmark 是 AI 软件开发的事实层。
# Truthmark
**Truthmark 为 AI 软件开发自动维护仓库事实。**
[English](README.md) | [Deutsch](README.de.md) | 中文 | [Español](README.es.md) | [Русский](README.ru.md)
AI 编码代理已经很会写代码了。它们仍然不擅长从过时文档、零散聊天和短暂的工具记忆中,可靠还原产品意图、架构边界和仓库归属。
Truthmark 通过把分支内的仓库事实变成代理运行时的一等载体来解决这个问题。它把一个 Git 原生、按分支生效的事实层直接安装到仓库里,为代理明确路由和工作流边界,并让这些事实随真正交付的代码一起移动。
这不是更好的提示词工程,而是在真实代码库中更可治理地使用 AI 的方式:少一些重复决策,少一些陈旧文档,交接更清楚,AI 编码会话也会留下可审查的工程记录,而不是消失在提示历史或不透明的工具状态里。
它面向这样的团队:你们已经知道代理能生成代码,现在需要仓库本身继续保持清晰、可审查、可治理。
<img src="docs/assets/truthmark-banner.png" alt="Truthmark 横幅" width="100%" />
## Truthmark 解决什么问题
AI 编码代理已经能很快写代码了。真正昂贵的是让仓库事实和实际变更保持一致。
AI 编码现在上手很容易,治理却很昂贵。一旦代理能快速写代码,仓库事实就会成为控制面。
这种失效模式很常见:需求留在聊天里,架构决策反复重做,代理改到了错误的区域,分支继承了审查者无法可靠检查的上下文。代码也许推进得很快,但仓库会变得越来越难以信任。
Truthmark 改变的是工作模型:
Truthmark 在这个流程里加入了一个自动收尾保护。正常路径很简单:
- 分支内事实随分支一起流转,而不是藏在私有工具存储里。
- Git 让这些事实可以被审查、对比,并在团队内共享。
- 文档跟着代码走,而不是悄悄变成虚构。
- 路由明确保存在 `docs/truthmark/areas.md` 和委托的子路由文件中,让代理知道哪些文档负责哪些代码。
- 当前有效的产品和架构决策保存在它们所治理的规范文档中,而不是带时间戳的规划日志里。
- 本地优先的工作流不需要守护进程、数据库、远程服务或 MCP 依赖
- 代理修改功能代码
- 运行相关测试
- 代理结束前,Truth Sync 更新已映射的事实文档
- 如果产生了事实文档 diff,就审查它
大多数工具要求团队养成一种习惯。Truthmark 把这个习惯自动化
Truthmark 把 AI 工作流变成仓库基础设施,而不是个人工具配置。它把一个 Git 原生、按分支生效的事实层安装到仓库里,为代理提供明确的路由和有边界的工作流载体,并让这些事实继续以 Git diff 的形式可审查,而不是散落在提示历史、陈旧文档或私有工具状态里。
这之所以重要,是因为工作流跟着分支一起存在。仓库一旦初始化,规则、路由和已安装的工作流载体就会随仓库一起移动,协作和交接也就不再过度依赖某个人的本地配置。
对于已经知道代理能生成代码的团队,Truthmark 解决的是下一个问题:当 AI 辅助开发规模化时,怎样让仓库本身继续保持清晰、可审查、可治理。

## 为什么团队会采用它
Truthmark 不是为了让代理显得更聪明,而是为了让 AI 辅助的仓库变更更值得信任。
- 代码变更后的自动 Truth Sync,把文档维护从团队习惯变成工作流保护。
- 按分支生效的事实会跟着代码一起走,所以审查者可以在普通 Git diff 里检查当前事实。
- 仓库原生的工作流载体让推广更轻、交接更稳,不再只依赖个人本地配置。
- `docs/truthmark/areas.md` 和委托的子路由文件里的显式路由,为代理提供更清晰的所有权边界和更安全的写入路径。
- 本地优先的运行方式避免了守护进程、数据库、远程服务或 MCP 依赖。
- 这个模型适用于 JavaScript、TypeScript、Go、Python、C# 和 Java 代码库。
对技术负责人来说,它的价值是没有表演成分的治理:测试、代码审查和所有权仍然承担真正的工作;Truthmark 让代理上下文变得持久、可检查,并且限定在当前分支内。

# Truthmark
Markdown in the current checkout is authoritative for this branch.
Installed workflow surfaces include a Truthmark 1.2.0 version marker. After upgrading Truthmark, rerun `truthmark init` and review generated workflow diffs.
Truth Sync runs automatically before finishing when functional code changes exist, and updates truth docs.
Truth Sync can also be invoked explicitly through installed truthmark-sync skill surfaces.
Truth Structure is manual and updates area routing plus starter truth docs.
Truth Check is manual and audits repository truth health.
Installed skills and the managed AGENTS block are the workflow runtime. Agents inspect the checkout directly and may use `truthmark check` only as optional validation.
Truth Realize is manual and updates code to match truth docs.
Truth Sync may create or extend mapped truth docs when implementation would otherwise remain undocumented.
Truth Realize never edits truth docs.

# Agent Skills And Workflow Review
This note summarizes the external skill-authoring guidance reviewed on 2026-05-13 and applies it to Truthmark's installed project workflows. It is a reference for future workflow-surface changes, not a replacement for [installed-workflows.md](../features/installed-workflows.md).
## External Standard
Agent skills should be small, concrete, and triggerable from metadata alone. OpenAI and Anthropic both treat `name` and `description` as the first progressive-disclosure layer: the agent decides whether to load the full `SKILL.md` from that metadata. The description therefore needs concrete use cases, non-use cases, expected outputs, and success criteria.
Keep `SKILL.md` focused on the core procedure. Move rare, variant-specific, or long reference material into explicitly linked `references/` files. Use `scripts/` only for deterministic repeated mechanics; leave interpretation, comparison, judgment, and reporting to the model.
Reliable skills need validation, not only syntax checks. Deterministic tests can prove rendered metadata, required routing cues, report shapes, and write-boundary text. They cannot prove that every future AI agent will select the right skill in every realistic conversation.
Security posture matters because skills can contain instructions, scripts, assets, and external dependencies. Treat installed skills as executable agent runtime: inspect the bundled files, scripts, dependency behavior, and any network instructions before trusting them.
## Installed Surface
Truthmark currently installs five workflows across host-specific surfaces:
| Workflow | Main purpose | Codex implicit policy |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `truthmark-sync` | Finish-time code-to-truth synchronization after functional code changes | `allow_implicit_invocation: true` |
| `truthmark-structure` | Design or repair truth routing topology | `allow_implicit_invocation: false` |
| `truthmark-document` | Document existing implemented behavior without code changes | `allow_implicit_invocation: false` |
| `truthmark-realize` | Realize truth docs into functional code | `allow_implicit_invocation: false` |
| `truthmark-check` | Audit repository truth health | `allow_implicit_invocation: false` |
Generated runtime surfaces include `.codex/skills/`, `.claude/skills/`, `.opencode/skills/`, `.github/prompts/`, `.gemini/commands/truthmark/`, and compact managed instruction blocks in files such as `AGENTS.md`.
## What Is Working
- The workflow split is coherent: Structure owns topology, Document owns implemented behavior without code changes, Sync owns code-first finish-time alignment, Realize owns doc-first code changes, and Check owns audit.
- Write boundaries are unusually clear. The skills repeatedly state which docs, routing files, or functional code may be changed.
- The runtime is agent-native. Skills tell agents to inspect the checkout directly and treat the CLI as optional validation rather than a required orchestration bridge.
- The managed instruction block is compact while the detailed procedures live in explicit workflow surfaces, which preserves ordinary task context.
- Codex metadata correctly makes only Sync implicitly invocable. Manual workflows remain explicit in Codex, which reduces accidental Structure, Document, Realize, or Check runs.
- Generated-surface tests cover parseable frontmatter, required phrases, report headings, host paths, version markers, and stale-surface diagnostics.
## Critical Findings
1. Medium: frontmatter descriptions need explicit negative routing cases.
The body text has good boundaries, but the body loads only after the skill triggers. Descriptions should include concise "do not use when" clauses for nearby workflows. This matters most for Structure versus Document, Document versus Sync, and Check versus ordinary validation.
2. Low: repeated hierarchy and decision-truth text increases drift risk.
The duplication is defensible because generated host surfaces should remain standalone after install. Still, shared generator constants and tests should continue to own this text. If the body grows substantially, consider a generated `references/truthmark-common.md` only when each supported host reliably exposes skill references.
3. Low: `truthmark-check` can read like a replacement for normal verification.
The skill body says `truthmark check` is optional and direct inspection is canonical. The description could still clarify that Truth Check is for repository-truth audits, not a substitute for lint, tests, typecheck, code review, or the finish-time Sync gate.
## Resolved Notes
- Resolved 2026-05-13: `truthmark-document` metadata now names Truth Sync, Truth Check, and Truth Structure as the workflows that can hand off missing implemented-behavior documentation.
- Resolved 2026-05-13: `truthmark-sync` frontmatter and Codex metadata now include skip cases for documentation-only changes, formatting-only changes, behavior-preserving renames, missing Truthmark config, and no functional code changes.
## Deterministic Coverage Matrix
| Workflow | Positive trigger examples | Negative trigger examples | Key success checks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sync | "I changed session code; finish and sync truth" | docs-only edit, formatting-only edit, no functional code diff | reads changed code and routing, updates only truth docs or routing, reports skipped or blocked correctly |
| Structure | "split broad repository routing into auth and billing" | "document current auth behavior" | repairs route topology before docs, creates bounded starter docs, preserves authored content |
| Document | "document existing order submission behavior" | "implement the behavior in this truth doc" | reads code and tests, writes docs/routing only, does not edit functional code |
| Realize | "realize docs/features/auth/session-timeout.md into code" | "sync docs after my code change" | reads truth docs first, edits functional code only, runs relevant tests |
| Check | "audit truth health before review" | "run lint and tests" | reports issues and suggested fixes, optionally runs `truthmark check`, does not silently rewrite unrelated files |
## Next Improvements
- Add deterministic description-quality tests that require positive and negative routing cues in every generated `SKILL.md` description.
- Treat prompt-style agent evals, if ever added, as smoke checks and examples rather than proof of universal routing correctness.
- Tighten `truthmark-check` descriptions before adding more workflows.
- Keep generated skill bodies below the point where common guidance crowds out workflow-specific procedure.
- Re-audit security posture before any Truthmark skill gains scripts, assets, or network-capable dependencies.

# Repository Rules
## Scope
Repository-wide agent authority, routing, and completion rules. Read the smallest sufficient set; detailed behavior lives in [docs/](../README.md).
This document defines repository-wide agent rules, authority order, and completion requirements for Truthmark.
## Authority
Detailed standards, current architecture, contracts, and current feature behavior live under [docs/](../README.md).
## Authority and Context
### Authority Order
When sources conflict, authority descends in this order:
Conflict order:
1. this file
2. [TRUTHMARK.md](../../TRUTHMARK.md)
3. [docs/truthmark/areas.md](../truthmark/areas.md)
2. [.truthmark/config.yml](../../.truthmark/config.yml)
3. [docs/truthmark/areas.md](../truthmark/areas.md) and `docs/truthmark/areas/**/*.md`
4. `docs/standards/**/*.md`
5. `docs/architecture/**/*.md`
6. `docs/features/**/*.md`
[README.md](../../README.md) may help with onboarding and positioning context, but it does not override the canonical current-state docs above.
Authoritative context is the current checkout plus user-provided session context; chat, external notes, and off-repo memory are non-authoritative unless committed or supplied now.
### Context Boundaries
Code is the implementation. On code/doc conflict, inspect code, decide whether code is intentional or docs are stale, update stale docs for intentional behavior, and change code to match docs only when requested or required.
Authoritative context is limited to committed repository artifacts plus user-provided session context:
## Product Boundary
- code
- docs
- tests
- config
- generated artifacts that are checked into the repo intentionally
Truthmark has three CLI commands: `config`, `init`, and `check`. Truth Structure, Truth Document, Truth Sync, Truth Realize, and Truth Check are installed workflow surfaces, not CLI commands.
Treat chat history, external notes, and off-repo memories as non-authoritative unless the user provides them in the current session or the information has been committed into the repository.
Agents inspect the active checkout directly. There is no daemon, database, remote service, or V1 MCP server.
### Code-vs-Docs Rule
## Rules
Code is the current implementation.
1. Branch-local Markdown is canonical; the current checkout is the truth boundary.
2. Current truth belongs in canonical docs, not historical plans or separate timestamped decision logs.
3. Active decisions and rationale live in the canonical doc for the governed behavior.
4. The `AGENTS.md` Truthmark block is generated. Edit templates, not the managed block, unless explicitly maintaining the generated surface.
5. Document implemented V1 behavior only; do not add speculative commands, services, or capabilities.
6. Keep routing explicit: when a code area changes canonical docs, update truth routing in the same change.
7. Behavior, contract, workflow, and completion-rule changes update the nearest canonical doc. Major product/onboarding/install/command/positioning/workflow changes also update the root README. A material root README change blocks completion until the localized root READMEs change in the same working change.
8. Follow established module boundaries; avoid duplicate surfaces, single-use abstractions, speculative configurability, and impossible-scenario error handling.
9. Follow [testing-and-verification.md](../standards/testing-and-verification.md) and [pre-completion-checklist.md](../standards/pre-completion-checklist.md). Define success criteria. Continue until verified or blocked.
10. Work surgically: surface material assumptions or ambiguity, touch only request-traceable lines, match existing style, clean up only artifacts made unused by the current change, and report unrelated issues instead of editing them.
11. Tests prove supported behavior and current contracts. Do not prove a removal by asserting that a deleted string or file is absent unless that absence is the protected boundary.
If code and docs conflict:
## Routing
1. inspect the relevant code path
2. determine whether the code is intentional or the doc is stale
3. update the stale doc when behavior is intentional
4. only change code to match docs when the user explicitly wants that outcome or the docs clearly reflect the intended requirement
Fast task routing lives in [agent-onboarding.md](agent-onboarding.md). Read only the docs that govern the slice you are changing.
## Project Intent
Truthmark is an agent-native repository truth protocol packaged with a local-first Node and TypeScript installer and validator.
Current product boundaries:
- user-facing CLI commands are `config`, `init`, and `check`
- installed `SKILL.md` files and the managed `AGENTS.md` block are the runtime for truth workflows
- Truth Structure, Truth Sync, Truth Realize, and Truth Check are installed workflow surfaces, not top-level CLI commands
- `truthmark config` writes the committed hierarchy contract before workflow installation
- `.truthmark/config.yml` `platforms` controls which agent harness surfaces `truthmark init` installs or refreshes
- agents inspect the checkout directly and make semantic judgments about area structure, routing, sync, realization, and truth health
- `truthmark init` installs or refreshes workflow surfaces
- `truthmark check` validates repository truth artifacts after agent work
- the tool operates on the active Git worktree and does not require a daemon, database, or remote service
- V1 does not ship an MCP server
## Non-Negotiable Rules
1. **Branch-local Markdown is canonical**
- The current checkout is the truth boundary.
2. **Keep current truth separate from history**
- Current behavior belongs in configured canonical roots such as `docs/architecture/**` and `docs/features/**`.
- Historical planning artifacts do not become current truth automatically; rewrite current decisions into the canonical docs they govern.
3. **Keep active decisions in canonical docs**
- Active decisions and rationale belong in the same canonical doc as the behavior they govern.
- Short inline decision dates are allowed; do not create separate timestamped decision-ticket folders for current decisions.
4. **The managed Truthmark block stays managed**
- The block in [AGENTS.md](../../AGENTS.md) between `<!-- truthmark:start -->` and `<!-- truthmark:end -->` is a generated surface.
- Manual repository-specific guidance belongs outside that block.
5. **Document actual V1 behavior only**
- Do not add speculative CLI commands, hosted services, or product capabilities that are not implemented.
6. **Areas routing must stay explicit**
- If the canonical docs for a code area change, update [docs/truthmark/areas.md](../truthmark/areas.md) in the same change.
7. **Docs change with behavior**
- If a behavior, contract, workflow, or completion rule changes, update the nearest canonical doc in the same working change.
- For major product, onboarding, install, command, positioning, or workflow changes, review the root [README.md](../../README.md) in the same working change and update stale user-facing claims, examples, or command sequences.
- When the root README changes materially, update the localized README variants in the same working change or explicitly confirm why they remain intentionally different.
8. **Keep onboarding honest**
- The root README is not the canonical behavior spec, but it is the human entry point. It must not lag behind major product changes that affect how people understand, install, or use Truthmark.
9. **Prefer established module boundaries**
- Follow the current directory responsibilities before introducing new abstractions or duplicate surfaces.
10. **Testing policy is centralized**
- Follow [docs/standards/testing-and-verification.md](../standards/testing-and-verification.md) for commands.
11. **Completion policy is centralized**
- Use [docs/standards/pre-completion-checklist.md](../standards/pre-completion-checklist.md) as the completion gate.
12. **Scope changes narrowly**
- Do not mix unrelated refactors or speculative cleanup into a focused task.
## Documentation Routing
Start here when working in an unfamiliar area:
- [docs/README.md](../README.md)
- [docs/architecture/overview.md](../architecture/overview.md)
- [docs/architecture/module-map.md](../architecture/module-map.md)
- [docs/features/contracts.md](../features/contracts.md)
### CLI or scaffold changes
Read:
1. [docs/features/init-and-scaffold.md](../features/init-and-scaffold.md)
2. [docs/features/contracts.md](../features/contracts.md)
3. [docs/standards/maintaining-repository-truth.md](../standards/maintaining-repository-truth.md) when the change affects docs placement or AGENTS management
Run `truthmark config` before `truthmark init` in new repositories so teams can review the hierarchy before generated agent behavior is installed.
### Check, routing, or validation changes
Read:
1. [docs/features/check-diagnostics.md](../features/check-diagnostics.md)
2. [docs/standards/documentation-governance.md](../standards/documentation-governance.md)
3. [docs/features/contracts.md](../features/contracts.md)
### Installed workflow or reporting changes
Read:
1. [TRUTHMARK.md](../../TRUTHMARK.md)
2. [docs/features/installed-workflows.md](../features/installed-workflows.md)
3. [docs/standards/maintaining-repository-truth.md](../standards/maintaining-repository-truth.md) if routing or canonical docs placement changes
### Documentation-only organization changes
Read:
1. [docs/README.md](../README.md)
2. [docs/standards/documentation-governance.md](../standards/documentation-governance.md)
3. [docs/standards/maintaining-repository-truth.md](../standards/maintaining-repository-truth.md)
## Guardrails
### Anti-drift rules
- do not create a shadow documentation tree
- do not treat historical plans as current implementation docs
- do not keep editing the managed Truthmark block manually unless the template behavior itself is changing
- do not broaden current-state docs with draft or aspirational behavior
- do not leave doc routing ambiguous when code moves or new code surfaces are added
- do not finish a major product or workflow change without checking whether the root README still tells the truth
### Divergence rule
When several files follow an established pattern and one diverges, assume the diverging file needs justification before copying it.
### When blocked
Re-read the relevant canonical docs, inspect the owning implementation, and then change approach. If the blocker remains, surface the blocker explicitly instead of guessing.
If blocked, re-read the relevant canonical docs and owning implementation, then surface the blocker instead of guessing. If one file diverges from an established pattern, require justification before copying it.
## Maintenance
Update this file only when repository-wide agent rules change.
When updating it:
- keep it concise and policy-focused
- move detailed procedures into standards or guides
- keep current feature behavior in `docs/features`
- update `last_reviewed`

## Architecture Doc Boundary
Truthmark should maintain architecture docs when a change alters system structure, module boundaries, runtime topology, persistence boundaries, cross-cutting contracts, or generated-surface ownership.
Ordinary feature behavior, endpoint details, UI copy, validation rules, and bug fixes belong in feature or contract docs unless they change those architecture boundaries. Architecture docs should describe structure and ownership rather than becoming a second home for feature truth.

- append the managed block when no block exists

## Hierarchy Behavior
@@ -106,6 +120,8 @@ Hierarchy is configured in `.truthmark/config.yml`:
`truthmark init` creates missing structure for that hierarchy, but it does not silently move, delete, or reinterpret existing truth docs when teams change the configured roots. Those cases produce review diagnostics for manual migration.
The default scaffold treats feature `README.md` files as indexes. Current behavior truth belongs in bounded leaf docs under the configured feature root, such as `<feature-root>/<domain>/<behavior>.md`.
`truthmark init` creates [docs/templates/feature-doc.md](../templates/feature-doc.md) when it is missing or empty. The default template includes Purpose, Scope, Current Behavior, Core Rules, Flows And States, Contracts, Product Decisions, Rationale, Non-Goals, and Maintenance Notes sections, with inline scope criteria for agents. Its Scope guidance tells agents to split content into another bounded leaf doc when a change introduces a distinct outcome, lifecycle, rule family, external contract, or code owner.
When creating the default bounded leaf truth doc, init reads the repository's template and expands supported placeholders such as `{{title}}`, `{{area}}`, `{{source_of_truth}}`, `{{purpose}}`, `{{scope}}`, `{{current_behavior}}`, `{{core_rules}}`, `{{flows_and_states}}`, `{{contracts}}`, `{{decision}}`, `{{rationale}}`, `{{non_goals}}`, `{{maintenance_notes}}`, and `{{template_path}}`. Section placeholders such as `{{scope}}` expand to section body text; the template owns heading structure.

## Rationale
This split makes the hierarchy reviewable before generated workflow behavior lands in the repo. Keeping route ownership in Markdown preserves local editing ergonomics. Refusing silent migrations avoids accidental truth loss when a repository reshapes its canonical docs tree.
Keeping host-specific detail in generated skills and Gemini command files prevents the repository root from accumulating parallel instruction files that drift from the managed workflow contract.
Keeping host-specific detail in generated skills and Gemini command files prevents the repository root from accumulating parallel instruction files that drift from the managed workflow contract. Keeping managed blocks terse protects ordinary agent context while preserving the automatic Sync gate, workflow boundaries, and branch-local authority.
Centralizing the feature-doc template gives repository owners one editable standard for future bounded leaf docs while keeping generated skills compact as more workflow surfaces are added.

Agents must read the configured root route index and only relevant child route files before updating routed truth docs. Generated skill text preserves repository instruction authority while clarifying that implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior and must not silently override workflow write boundaries.
Truthmark-owned workflow surfaces are generated under host-specific directories such as `.codex/skills/`, `.claude/skills/`, `.opencode/skills/`, and `.github/prompts/`. Repo-root `skills/` files are not generated workflow surfaces and are not classified as derived Truthmark output.
Generated workflow text also treats feature `README.md` files as indexes rather than Truth Sync targets. Current behavior truth should live in bounded leaf docs under the configured feature root, such as `<feature-root>/<domain>/<behavior>.md`.
When generated Truth Structure, Truth Document, or Truth Sync surfaces tell an agent to create or update a feature doc, they point to [docs/templates/feature-doc.md](../templates/feature-doc.md) as the editable local standard. Agents should read that file, follow its frontmatter, heading order, and section intent, and align existing feature docs to the template standard while preserving authored content that remains accurate. When the template is missing, generated workflow text falls back to the built-in minimal feature-doc structure.
Generated workflows maintain architecture docs only for architecture-level changes: system structure, module boundaries, runtime topology, persistence boundaries, cross-cutting contracts, or generated-surface ownership. Ordinary feature behavior, endpoint details, UI copy, validation rules, and bug fixes belong in feature or contract docs unless they change those architecture boundaries.

It should run or recommend Truth Structure first, or block when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the task boundary. Truth Sync must not append behavior details to a feature `README.md`. When no small routed doc exists, it should create or update a bounded leaf truth doc instead.
Before updating truth docs, Truth Sync applies a topology quality gate. If routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all, or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, it should not create another generic feature doc.

Truth Sync must not append behavior details to a feature `README.md`. When routeable behavior lacks a small current-truth doc, it should create or update a bounded leaf truth doc instead.
When Truth Sync creates or updates a feature doc, it should read [docs/templates/feature-doc.md](../templates/feature-doc.md) first, follow the repository's local template standard, and fix poor truth-doc alignment encountered in the touched doc.
When Truth Sync sees an architecture-level code change, it should update the owning architecture doc in the same sync instead of hiding structure or ownership changes in a feature doc.

## Product Decisions
- Installed skills and managed agent blocks are the workflow runtime; the CLI installs and validates those surfaces but does not orchestrate Truth Sync itself.
- Generated instruction blocks must stay compact, while generated skills may carry detailed workflow bodies and report examples.
- Generated instruction blocks must stay compact enough for ordinary agent context; non-automatic workflow procedure belongs in generated skills and command files.
- Generated workflow surfaces must not demote repository instruction docs such as `docs/ai/repo-rules.md` when warning agents that product truth cannot override workflow write boundaries.
- Truth Document exists because documenting existing implemented behavior without code changes is not a Truth Sync run; Sync stays code-first while Document owns manual missing-truth generation.
- Truth Document metadata should name Truth Sync, Truth Check, and Truth Structure as the workflows that can hand off missing implemented-behavior documentation, rather than using generic update wording.
- Gemini CLI uses generated `.gemini/commands/truthmark/*.toml` files for explicit workflow entrypoints because its native host surface is namespaced custom commands rather than `SKILL.md`.
- Generated workflow surfaces must render the configured hierarchy and decision-truth guidance once because those surfaces shape future agent behavior.
- Truth Structure owns AI-native topology governance so large repositories do not depend on humans manually organizing `docs/features`.
- Truth Sync must not worsen weak topology by adding generic feature docs behind broad catch-all routing.
- Truth Structure must satisfy canonical decision-section expectations for both new starter docs and repaired routed docs; `doc-structure` review diagnostics are a signal for topology repair, not only a separate checker concern.
- Truth Sync must not worsen weak topology by adding generic feature docs behind missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all, or unrouteable routing.
- Truth Sync metadata should include its skip cases because documentation-only work, formatting-only work, behavior-preserving renames, missing Truthmark config, and no-functional-code changes should not trigger the finish-time sync path.
- Feature `README.md` files are indexes; bounded leaf docs are the normal Truth Sync targets for current behavior.
- Generated workflow surfaces refer to `docs/templates/feature-doc.md` instead of embedding a full feature-doc template so repository owners have one editable standard as more skills are added.
- Truth Sync delegation is host-owned: generated workflow surfaces may describe when delegation is allowed, but must not name a preferred subagent or project-local subagent preference file.
- Active decisions belong in the canonical doc they govern. Short inline decision dates are allowed, but workflow text should reject separate ADR-style drift.

Putting topology governance in installed workflow text keeps the large-repository behavior portable to AI environments that have repository access and agents but do not have the Truthmark binary installed.
Requiring Truth Structure to add missing decision-section headings keeps repair output aligned with `truthmark check` without weakening the checker's canonical-doc quality signal.
Keeping feature-doc structure in an editable template prevents generated skills from becoming competing template copies while preserving a built-in fallback for repositories that do not have the template file yet.

# Release Automation
## Purpose
This doc owns the repository automation that verifies Truthmark changes in pull requests and publishes the package from GitHub releases.
## Scope
This doc covers the committed GitHub Actions workflows under `.github/workflows/`. It does not redefine the `truthmark` CLI contracts or the detailed behavior of `check`, `init`, or installed workflows.
## Current Behavior
- The `CI` workflow runs on pushes to `main` and on every pull request.
- The `verify` job checks out the repository, installs Node 24 with npm caching, runs `npm ci`, then runs `npm run check` and `npm run package:check`.
- The `Publish` workflow runs when a GitHub release is published.
- The `publish` job checks out the repository, installs Node 24 with the npm registry configured, runs `npm ci`, runs `npm run release:check`, and then runs `npm publish`.
## Core Rules
- Pull request and main-branch automation must verify linting, types, tests, build output, and package-file integrity through the existing npm scripts.
- Publish automation must re-run the full release verification before publishing.
- Publishing is triggered from a GitHub release event, not from branch pushes alone.
## Flows And States
- Change validation flow: push or pull request -> `CI` workflow -> `verify` job -> `npm run check` and `npm run package:check`.
- Release flow: published GitHub release -> `Publish` workflow -> `publish` job -> `npm run release:check` -> `npm publish`.
## Contracts
- Both workflows currently run on `ubuntu-latest`.
- Both workflows install Node 24 through `actions/setup-node@v4`.
- The publish workflow requires npm registry access through the configured GitHub Actions environment.
## Product Decisions
- Decision (2026-05-13): Repository automation stays script-driven and reuses committed npm verification commands instead of duplicating verification logic inline in GitHub Actions.
## Rationale
Keeping workflow steps thin makes repository automation follow the same verification contract developers run locally. That reduces drift between local validation, CI validation, and release publishing.
## Non-Goals
- This doc does not own release-note authoring or GitHub release drafting policy.
- This doc does not define npm package contents beyond invoking the existing package checks.
## Maintenance Notes
- Update this doc when workflow triggers, Node versions, or verification commands change.
- Keep this doc aligned with `package.json` scripts used by the workflows.

# Repository Overview
## Purpose
This doc owns the default bounded feature leaf that `truthmark init` scaffolds for repositories using the default `repository` area.
## Scope
This bounded leaf truth doc owns the default repository behavior surface created by Truthmark.
This doc covers the seed `docs/features/repository/overview.md` behavior only. Broader init flow, routing files, and generated workflow surfaces stay in the main scaffold and workflow docs.
## Current Behavior
- `truthmark init` scaffolds this doc as the default bounded leaf truth doc for the configured default area.
- The default scaffold treats feature `README.md` files as indexes and expects current behavior truth to live in bounded leaf docs such as this one.
- Downstream repositories are expected to replace this seed content with repository-specific current behavior as the mapped code surface evolves.
- `truthmark init` creates `docs/features/repository/overview.md` as the default bounded feature doc for the configured default area.
- The scaffold pairs this leaf doc with a sibling `README.md` index under `docs/features/repository/`.
- The generated content is starter truth. Repositories are expected to replace it with repository-specific current behavior as their mapped code surface evolves.
## Core Rules
- Feature `README.md` files are indexes, not current-behavior targets.
- The default scaffold keeps behavior truth in bounded leaf docs under the configured feature root.
- The seeded repository leaf stays intentionally small so later Truth Sync runs can replace it instead of appending to an index file.
## Flows And States
- `truthmark init` creates the feature root index, the default area index, and this bounded leaf when those files are missing.
- Later repository work may update or replace the seeded leaf doc without changing the scaffold contract.
## Contracts
- The default leaf path is `docs/features/<default-area>/overview.md` when the configured feature root is `docs/features` and the default area is `repository`.
- The editable content standard for this leaf comes from `docs/templates/feature-doc.md`.
## Product Decisions
- Decision (2026-05-09): Feature README files are indexes; behavior truth belongs in bounded leaf docs.
- Decision (2026-05-13): The default scaffold seeds a bounded leaf doc instead of placing current behavior in a feature `README.md`.
## Rationale
Bounded leaf docs keep agent context focused and prevent large products from accumulating unreviewable feature manuals.
Bounded seed docs give new repositories an immediately routeable truth target while keeping index files stable and small.
## Non-Goals
- This doc does not own the full `truthmark init` workflow.
- This doc does not define repository-specific behavior after downstream teams rewrite the seed content.
## Maintenance Notes
- Keep this doc aligned with `docs/templates/feature-doc.md` when the feature-doc standard changes.
- Update this doc when the default area leaf path or seeded content rules change.

Use this skill automatically before finishing when functional code changed since the last successful Truth Sync. Also run it immediately when the user explicitly invokes Truth Sync.
Invocations: ${TRUTH_SYNC_EXPLICIT_INVOCATIONS}
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes reopen the finish-time requirement, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish gate only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Skip when changes are documentation-only, formatting-only, clearly behavior-preserving renames with no truth impact, when no Truthmark config exists yet, or when there are no functional code changes.
Parent workflow:
1. Inspect git status, staged changes, unstaged changes, and untracked files directly.
2. Read .truthmark/config.yml, TRUTHMARK.md, the configured root route index at ${config.docs.routing.rootIndex}, relevant child route files under ${config.docs.routing.areaFilesRoot}/, and relevant canonical docs.
2. Read .truthmark/config.yml, the configured root route index at ${config.docs.routing.rootIndex}, relevant child route files under ${config.docs.routing.areaFilesRoot}/, and relevant canonical docs.
3. Identify functional-code changes and the nearest truth docs or routing repairs.
4. ${EVIDENCE_AUTHORITY_INSTRUCTIONS}
5. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
6. Dispatch one bounded Truth Sync worker only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.

- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area
- if routing is broad, overloaded, or catch-all route only, do not create another generic feature doc
- run or recommend Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is needed
- block when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- report the broad route files and changed code paths that require structure repair
