name: add-frontmatter description: Scan all .md files in the project and add or fix YAML frontmatter (summary + read_when) so they can be discovered by context routers like Reflex.

Add Frontmatter

Scan every .md file in the project and ensure it has the required frontmatter so Reflex can discover and route it.

Required frontmatter format

---
summary: One-line description of what this file covers
read_when:
  - keyword or phrase that signals this file is relevant
  - another keyword
---

What to skip

  • Files already having correct summary + read_when frontmatter — leave them alone
  • Files that have frontmatter with any other keys (e.g. name, description, title) — do not replace or merge, leave them alone
  • node_modules/, .git/, dist/, build/, vendor/, __pycache__/
  • .claude/ — agents, skills, commands, hooks all use their own frontmatter schemas
  • Files that are purely generated output, changelogs, or boilerplate with no reusable knowledge (e.g. CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE)

Process

  1. Glob all .md files, excluding skip dirs
  2. For each file: check if frontmatter with summary and read_when already exists
  3. If missing or incomplete: read the file content, infer a concise summary and 2-4 read_when keywords from the actual content
  4. Prepend the frontmatter block (or insert after existing --- if only partially present)
  5. Write the updated file

Quality criteria

  • summary is a single line, factual, specific — describes what the file actually covers
  • read_when keywords match how someone would describe a task that needs this file (e.g. "setting up auth", "debugging routing", "OpenClaw plugin")
  • Don't invent knowledge not in the file — infer from actual content only
