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
