Doc Frontmatter

Fix Documentation Frontmatter

Add or repair YAML frontmatter for documentation files.

Instructions

1. Read the target file

2. Check current frontmatter status:

• No frontmatter: Generate complete frontmatter
• Partial frontmatter: Add missing required fields
• Invalid YAML: Fix syntax errors

3. Required fields (must all be present):

4. Derive values intelligently:

Title:

• Use explicit --title if provided
• Otherwise extract from first H1 in document
• Otherwise derive from filename: getting-started.md -> "Getting Started"

Category:

• Use explicit --category if provided
• Otherwise derive from directory:
• docs/guides/ -> "Guides"
• docs/api/ -> "API Reference"
• docs/reference/ -> "Reference"
• example/tutorials/ -> "Tutorials"

Tags:

• Use explicit --tags if provided (comma-separated)
• Otherwise analyze content for keywords
• Always include category as a tag (lowercase)
• Suggest 2-4 relevant tags

Order:

• Check sibling files in same directory
• Find highest existing order number
• Set to next available (highest + 1)
• Default to 1 if first file

5. Apply changes:

• If no frontmatter exists, add at top of file
• If frontmatter exists, merge new fields (don't overwrite existing valid fields)
