ZeroClaw Documentation Inventory

This inventory classifies docs by intent so readers can quickly distinguish runtime-contract guides from design proposals.

Last reviewed: February 18, 2026.

Classification Legend

• Current Guide/Reference: intended to match current runtime behavior
• Policy/Process: collaboration or governance rules
• Proposal/Roadmap: design exploration; may include hypothetical commands
• Snapshot: time-bound operational report

Maintenance Recommendations

1. Update commands-reference whenever CLI surface changes.
2. Update providers-reference when provider catalog/aliases/env vars change.
3. Update channels-reference when channel support or allowlist semantics change.
4. Keep snapshots date-stamped and immutable.
5. Mark proposal docs clearly to avoid being mistaken for runtime contracts.
6. Keep localized README/docs-hub links aligned when adding new core docs.
7. Update docs/SUMMARY.md and collection indexes whenever new major docs are added.
