The previous naming guide was incomplete. The actual convention is:
**Foundational docs:** ALL-CAPS
- Root entry-points: AGENTS.md, README.md (discovery paths)
- Agent instruction: .agents/OIKOS.md, .agents/HERMES.md (docs agents read first)
- Reference docs: GLOSSARY.md (like classic repo files: LICENSE, CHANGELOG)
**Content pages:** lowercase-with-dashes
- Containers: <id>-<name>.md (ID from inventory)
- Infrastructure: <topic>.md (system description)
- Plans/investigations: YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md (date-sorted)
- Section indices: README.md (conventional)
**Skills:** special pattern
- <name>/SKILL.md where <name> is lowercase-with-dashes
- SKILL.md filename is always uppercase — signpost for tools and humans
Uppercase is reserved for foundational/signpost docs; all paths otherwise use
lowercase with hyphens (no underscores).
Updated page-templates.md with expanded explanation, and updated AGENTS.md +
README.md to reference the corrected convention.

Added explicit file-naming rules to page-templates.md so agents know:
- Root entry-points: ALL-CAPS (AGENTS.md, README.md)
- Containers: <id>-<name>.md (e.g., 101-jellyfin.md)
- Infrastructure: lowercase-with-dashes (dns.md, auto-deploy.md)
- Plans/investigations: YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
- Skills: lowercase-with-dashes/ folder containing SKILL.md
Updated AGENTS.md section 4 (Wiki conventions) to link to page-templates.md
and provided quick reference for file naming, page locations, and changelog format.
Updated README.md conventions section to mention file naming and link to
page-templates.md for the full rules.
All agents now have a clear reference chain:
1. AGENTS.md (entry point) → points to conventions
2. page-templates.md (structure) → has file naming + page templates
3. writing-style.md (prose) → has voice, vocabulary, linking rules
4. llm-wiki.md (organization) → has sources/wiki/index/log model
Verified: no broken links, all conventions documented, consistency check passes.

Problem: after the wiki-hq reorg, agent-instruction and human-doc domains
were still scattered across the repo root, with three now-redundant stub
files cluttering it. The organizing principle wasn't visible in the layout.
Change — enforce three clear buckets:
- .agents/ = how agents operate: OIKOS.md, HERMES.md (moved from root),
shared/ conventions, domains/ schemas, skills/, and operations/ (operator
cheatsheet + enrollment + hermes-agent, moved from root).
- knowledge/ = what exists + evidence: wiki/, GLOSSARY.md, and sources/ now
including investigations/ (incident records are evidence/sources).
- root = substrate + two entry points (AGENTS.md, README.md), plus plans/
as its own design-intent domain.
Moves:
- investigations/ -> knowledge/sources/investigations/ (incl. archive/, index).
- operations/ -> .agents/operations/.
- HERMES.md -> .agents/HERMES.md.
- Deleted unreferenced root stubs CAVEMAN.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and OIKOS.md
(its 7 remaining linkers repointed to .agents/OIKOS.md).
Consumers updated:
- inventory.yaml doc_page (agent-enrollment) + regenerated hosts/*.yaml + cards.
- tools/setup-hermes-soul.sh and bootstrap.sh (x2) -> .agents/HERMES.md.
- bin/homelab help string -> .agents/operations/hermes-agent.md.
- knowledge/operations schemas, llm-wiki, page-templates, incident-investigation
skill, AGENTS.md/README nav -> new investigations/operations paths.
- All markdown links rewritten via the path-resolving mapper.
Left in place (substrate/executable/separate-domain): hosts/, ledger/, tools/,
plans/, oikos/, mcp/, secrets/, bin/, inventory.yaml.
Verification: docs-lint at baseline (2 intentional cross-repo refs, no new
breakage); gen-topology.py --check exit 0; build_host_files.py idempotent; all
doc_page targets resolve; Hermes provisioning scripts point at the new path.

Problem: the narrative docs lacked an enforceable style standard, and
agent-facing instruction (OIKOS/CAVEMAN/CONTRIBUTING) was interleaved with
human content at the repo root.
Change:
- Add .agents/shared/{writing-style,llm-wiki}.md — a lint-checkable prose
standard (with an imperative-voice exception for runbooks/recipes) and the
sources/wiki/index/log layer model.
- Move CAVEMAN.md -> .agents/shared/caveman.md,
CONTRIBUTING.md -> .agents/shared/page-templates.md,
OIKOS.md -> .agents/OIKOS.md; leave thin root stubs so old links resolve.
- Add .agents/domains/{knowledge,operations}/schema.md; operations schema
codifies "plans always live in plans/".
- Repoint live references (AGENTS, README, GLOSSARY, OIKOS) and fix OIKOS.md's
internal relative links for its new depth.
Risk: none to the operational substrate — inventory.yaml, hosts/*.yaml,
oikos/, mcp/, secrets/, bin/ untouched (verified via git status).
Verification: relative-link check across .agents/ clean; substrate churn empty.
