Earlier repo-name-prefixed ids no longer pass. + +```text +{doc_type}-{base36-6}-{document-name} +``` + +The `doc_type` (one of the controlled values above), then a random 6-character base36 token, then a readable document slug, all lower kebab-case (e.g. `runbook-0f943i-restart-netbox-after-config-change`). The token keeps the id globally unique; the slug is frozen at creation and does **not** change when the title is edited. + +**Generate the id with the script. Never invent the token yourself.** An LLM asked for a "random" base36 token produces low-entropy, collision-prone strings and reuses tokens already in context, defeating the uniqueness goal. `scripts/` is this skill's own directory and holds `new-doc-id` and nothing else (invoke by absolute path if your cwd is elsewhere): + +```bash +# New document — the default path. Emits the whole canonical block, not just an id. +scripts/new-doc-id --scaffold --doc-type runbook + +# Existing document missing or repairing an id — bare id only. +scripts/new-doc-id --doc-type runbook # 'runbook' prefix +scripts/new-doc-id # doc_type 'note' +``` + +`--scaffold` is the default path for a **new** document: it emits the eleven required fields in canonical order, with today's date correctly quoted and empty lists as `[]`, so none of the hand-authoring mistakes below can occur. The bare-id forms are the repair path for a document that already has a frontmatter block. **Replace the `REPLACE:` description placeholder in scaffolded output before committing.** + +The `--doc-type` value becomes both the id prefix and (in `--scaffold`) the `doc_type` field, so the two always agree; it defaults to `note`. `--doc-type` and `--status` must be standard-controlled values. + +For a batch of documents, do not loop the script per file. Write the placeholder id `{doc_type}-XXXXXX-{slug}` into each document, then make one `validate-id --fix` pass over the batch to mint the real tokens. The placeholder is uppercase deliberately: the token must match `^[0-9a-z]{6}$`, so `XXXXXX` fails validation loudly and `--fix` repairs it, whereas a lowercase placeholder is itself a valid token and would ship silently. + +ADRs are the exception: follow the standard's ADR id form (`adr-{NNNN}-{repo-name}-{title}`, e.g. `adr-0001-homelab-use-postgresql-for-persistent-storage`), not the `doc_type`-prefixed format. Do not use the script for ADR ids. + +## Worked example (compliant standard profile) + +```yaml +--- +schema_version: '1.1' +id: 'runbook-0f943i-restart-netbox-after-config-change' +title: 'Restart netbox after config change' +description: 'Procedure to safely reload netbox after editing its configuration.' +doc_type: 'runbook' +status: 'active' +created: '2026-03-10' +updated: '2026-06-07' +reviewed: '2026-06-07' +owner: 'platform-team' +consumer: 'user' +tags: + - 'infrastructure' + - 'network' + - 'operations' + - 'runbook' +aliases: + - 'netbox-restart' +related: + - 'docs/architecture.md' +source: [] +confidence: 'high' +visibility: 'internal' +license: null +--- +# Restart netbox after config change + +...document body... +``` + +## Validate + +Compliance = `project-standards validate` exits `0`.

Exit codes: `0` all matched files valid (or none matched); `1` one or more documents failed; `2` config/schema error. + +Use the formatter check for canonical quote style, key order, and list layout: + +```bash +format-frontmatter --check +``` + +To check or repair a single file's id: `validate-id ` (add `--fix` to rewrite an invalid id through the platform executor). + +**Where these commands come from.** `validate-id`, `format-frontmatter`, and `validate-frontmatter` are separate console scripts installed by the `project-standards` distribution — they are top-level commands on `PATH`. They are **not** `project-standards` subcommands (`project-standards validate-id` fails with `invalid choice`) and they are **not** files in this skill's `scripts/` directory, which holds `new-doc-id` alone. A repository may need its own runner prefix to reach the installed distribution; use whatever prefix its other `project-standards` invocations use. + +## Common mistakes + +| Mistake | Fix | +| --- | --- | +| `type:` instead of `doc_type:` | Rename; `type` is not a field. | +| Unquoted date `created: 2026-06-07` | Quote it: `'2026-06-07'`. | +| `doc_type: 'readme'` for a README | README/index → `doc_type: 'index'`. | +| Extra top-level key (`version:`, `category:`) | Move under `project:`/`x_project:`, or drop it. | +| Frontmatter added to `CLAUDE.md` / `.claude/**` / `.agents/**` | Remove it; add the path to the package `exclude` option. | +| Omitting required arrays (`tags`/`aliases`/`related`) | Always present; empty = `[]`. | +| `doc_type: 'stub'` | `stub` is a `status`, not a `doc_type`. | + +## Authoritative references + +- [Standard README](https://github.com/L3DigitalNet/project-standards/blob/v5.24.0/standards/markdown-frontmatter/versions/1.14/README.md) — overview and adoption surface. +- [Structure Requirements](https://github.com/L3DigitalNet/project-standards/blob/v5.24.0/standards/markdown-frontmatter/versions/1.14/structure.md) — hard fields, key order, scalar/list rules, IDs, and validation. +- [Field Values](https://github.com/L3DigitalNet/project-standards/blob/v5.24.0/standards/markdown-frontmatter/versions/1.14/field-values.md) — lifecycle, ownership, canonical tags, aliases, relationships, sources, and extensions. +- [Adoption guide](https://github.com/L3DigitalNet/project-standards/blob/v5.24.0/standards/markdown-frontmatter/versions/1.14/adopt.md) — unified config, CI workflow, repo-local skill install, and compliance procedure. +- `standards/markdown-frontmatter/versions/1.14/schemas/markdown-frontmatter.schema.json` (in project-standards) — the selected package contract; wins on any conflict. diff --git a/.claude/skills/markdown-frontmatter/scripts/new-doc-id b/.claude/skills/markdown-frontmatter/scripts/new-doc-id new file mode 100755 index 0000000..0781a42 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/markdown-frontmatter/scripts/new-doc-id @@ -0,0 +1,222 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env bash +# new-doc-id - generate a standard-conformant document id for the +# markdown-frontmatter skill: {doc_type}-{base36-6}-{document-name} +# +# This is the id format package 1.2 enforces via `validate-id` +# (run by `project-standards validate` and the V5 CI workflow): an id whose +# leading segment is not a valid doc_type is REJECTED.
