Journeys
This folder expands on ../1-EXPERIENCES.md with full user personas
and end-to-end journey maps.
Personas
Team developer
- Who: an engineer on a team that wants consistent, in-repo project docs, typically working alongside an AI coding agent.
- Goals: stand up documentation quickly, in a structure that’s the same across their repos, without designing a doc system from scratch.
- Frustrations: project intent is scattered across wikis, chat, and tickets; every project documents things differently; docs go stale or never get written.
- Success looks like: one command produces a familiar tree, and their agent fills it in with real content that lives next to the code.
AI coding agent
- Who: the assistant working inside the repo (e.g. via the DocSlime skills), acting as both author and consumer of the docs.
- Goals: understand the project’s intent so it can act with full context; produce documentation that reflects what the team actually wants.
- Frustrations: without recorded intent it has to guess from code; ad-hoc doc structures give it nothing reliable to read or write against.
- Success looks like: clear inline guidance tells it what to ask and how to write each section, so it interviews the team and leaves a clean, complete document.
Journeys
Document a project from scratch
Traces to the “Scaffold the docs tree” and “Fill in a document with an agent” experiences in
../1-EXPERIENCES.md.
| Step | User does | User feels | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Runs docslime init in the repo |
Curious, low commitment | Produce the full tree instantly, non-destructively |
| 2 | Sees the numbered docs/ tree appear |
Oriented — the structure is obvious | Numbering signals the reading order |
| 3 | Asks the agent to fill in PRODUCT.md |
Slightly unsure what to write | Inline guidance turns it into a guided product interview |
| 4 | Answers the agent’s focused questions | Engaged; thinking is being captured | Reflect answers back; write one tight section at a time |
| 5 | Reviews the completed doc, commits it | Satisfied — real intent, in the repo | Clean output with no leftover guidance comments |
| 6 | Moves down the chain to the next doc | Momentum | Each doc builds on the last, so context compounds |
