The workspace writing standard (D:\orisys_ws\docs\AUTHORING.md) is not
auto-discovered from inside a repository: the workspace skill root is
D:\orisys_ws\.agents\skills\, and an agent working here resolves its project
root to this repository's .git. This file points at the standard and at the
gate command, and records which kinds of document belong in this repo's docs.
Without it, agents working inside the repository would not learn the budgets
or the placement rules.
`tools/lint_gate.py` now also runs `D:\orisys_ws\scripts\doc_lint.py`, the
workspace's single documentation gate, alongside Ruff:
- changed Markdown by default, the whole corpus under --all
- `--files` names Python files explicitly, so it skips the doc gate
- `--no-docs` opts out
- the docs verdict is reported even when Ruff is missing, so a missing
linter cannot hide it (the exit code still signals the environment problem)
The doc rules live in exactly one place on purpose: this file is duplicated
across three repositories and had already drifted, so adding a fourth copy of
lint logic would repeat the mistake. Failing checks are the documentation
budget, inventory membership, a declared kind, unresolved mojibake, paragraph
walls, and duplicate explanations across documents. Emphasis density is
advisory only - measured as a continuum from 12% to 48% across the corpus, so
no threshold separates signal from noise.
Pre-existing oversized documents are recorded as budget-exempt with a written
reason in D:\orisys_ws\docs\inventory.json, and pre-existing findings are
baselined there, so this gate is red only for new regression.
With Ruff unavailable in the current environment the doc half still reports,
which is how it was verified.
sensor-design-workflow.md moved from the workspace root to
D:\orisys_ws\docs\workflow\ as part of the 2026-09-27 workspace cleanup; README.md
now gives the new path.
Also ignore .scratch/, the new per-task scratch directory (see
D:\orisys_ws\AGENTS.md).
