Small documentation indexes, useful agent context

Transcript

A giant context file can make a simple question harder to navigate. Start with a map.

An index tells an agent which document answers which question. The detail stays behind clear links.

Dewey generates a discovery manifest and a compact retrieval index. Full content lives in raw Markdown and document registries.

For one command, fetch its reference. For a broad review, choose a relevant bundle instead.

This proposal describes a small entry file with brief guidance and links to more detailed Markdown pages. Readers then fetch the detail they actually need.

Use a real question to test the route. Check whether the linked page supplies the answer and its limits.

Keep the map small, the pages useful, and the links current. Retrieve enough context for the task.

Educational diagrams with synthesized English narration. Captions are included in the picture; the optional caption track repeats the same text.
