atm10-source-of-truth-check

Intent

Use this skill to adapt aoa-source-of-truth-check to an atm10-* repository when the base workflow is right but the local doc map needs repo-relative detail.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill when:

• the base aoa-source-of-truth-check workflow is already correct, but an atm10-* repo needs local canonical-file patterns, repo-relative docs, or doc review rules
• contributors need a thin overlay that maps repo-relative docs such as README.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, or docs/[canonical-guide].md
• confusion exists between overview docs and authoritative files inside one local repo
• the family review doc and bundle-local checklist still need to stay aligned

Do not use this skill when:

• the main need is broader policy design rather than local document authority mapping
• the task is purely code-local and has no meaningful docs or guidance ambiguity
• the work would introduce new upstream technique meaning instead of thin local adaptation
• the main need is recording rationale for a decision rather than clarifying authority; use aoa-adr-write

Inputs

• repo-relative docs or guidance surfaces
• local canonical-file candidates
• local review rules for doc changes
• contributor confusion points
• base skill reference

Outputs

• local source-of-truth map
• bounded clarification note
• repo-relative canonical-file pattern
• pointer to the family review surface
• verification summary for the local docs surface

Procedure

1. start from aoa-source-of-truth-check instead of inventing a family-specific docs doctrine
2. name the repo-relative docs and guidance files involved in the ambiguity
3. map which file should stay authoritative for each local concern
4. keep the adaptation bounded to the local repo surface under review
5. make explicit what still depends on downstream human review or unpublished local policy

Contracts

• preserve the base skill meaning
• keep local file maps repo-relative and explicit
• surface local authority and review posture without hiding it
• keep the overlay public-safe and reviewable

Risks and anti-patterns

• inventing a broader docs governance framework inside a thin overlay
• using family labels without reducing local ambiguity
• hiding local review rules in prose that looks canonical
• silently replacing the base skill with project doctrine

Verification

• confirm the base skill is still the right workflow
• confirm authoritative repo-relative files are named explicitly
• confirm local review posture is visible rather than implied
• confirm the adaptation reduces ambiguity without widening scope
• confirm the family review doc and bundle-local checklist stay aligned
