Objectives

  • Expand gopass-personal-docs with Accounts category for online credentials (Firefox, GitHub, etc.)

  • Restructure ALL flat project documentation to modular partial pattern

  • Overhaul Claude Code Features documentation to match live config state

  • Create real-world Workflows documentation page

  • Full audit and hardening of Claude Code configuration (agents, rules, settings, CLAUDE.md)

  • Establish collaboration session logging standard

Work Performed

1. gopass-personal-docs Expansion (dots-quantum)

Added new "Accounts" category for online credentials — browser, email, developer, shopping, social, cloud, generic. Firefox account was the trigger. 444-line accounts.sh library with 7 interactive templates.

Commits:

  • ac65b00 — feat(gopass): Add Accounts category for online credentials

Mode: Paired — user identified the gap ("it’s not a subscription"), Claude designed the category structure, user confirmed, Claude implemented.

2. Documentation Updates (domus-captures)

Updated 7 gopass-personal-docs documentation files (categories, architecture, summary, metadata, purpose, decisions, codex user guide) to reflect the new Accounts category and fix stale repo paths.

Mode: Delegated — user said "ensure it’s updated," Claude found all files and updated them.

3. Project Restructuring — 5 Agents Parallel (domus-captures)

Restructured 5 flat project files (1,247 lines inline) into 35 modular partials using 5 agents running simultaneously. Zero flat project files remaining.

Commits:

  • 89beb1a — refactor(docs): Extract 5 flat projects into modular partials (41 files, +1,470/-1,181)

Agents used:

  • Explore agent — scanned 150+ files, categorized as GOOD/FLAT/PARTIAL

  • 5x general-purpose agents (parallel) — each restructured one project independently

Mode: Delegated — user said "I want ALL of the projects to model this at once. Get the agents army to work."

4. Claude Code Features Overhaul — 5 Agents Parallel (domus-captures)

Complete rewrite of 16 partials across 4 pages to match live configuration state. Explore agent audited ~/.claude/, dots-quantum, and domus-captures .claude/ to produce gap analysis.

Commits:

  • d51c486 — docs(claude-code): Comprehensive rewrite — match live config, teaching-grade (27 files, +1,041/-284)

Agents used:

  • Explore agent — full config audit across 3 locations

  • Agent 1: summary + architecture + deployment model + metadata

  • Agent 2: skills + hooks

  • Agent 3: agents + mcp-servers

  • Agent 4: rules + output-styles (NEW) + settings

  • Agent 5: claude-md + quick-reference + success-metrics

Key gaps found:

Docs Said Reality

CLAUDE.md: 772 lines

845 lines

Settings: 56 allows

97 allows, 10 denies

/drill: Implemented

Doesn’t exist

Output styles: not documented

professional.md active

Deployment model: not documented

Full stow/symlink architecture

Mode: Delegated — user said "make this billion dollar style docs."

5. Workflows Page + workflow-documenter Agent (domus-captures)

Created 5th page for Claude Code Features project with 4 real-world workflow partials documenting actual sessions. Created workflow-documenter agent for future use.

Commits:

  • 112fd8c — feat(claude-code): Add Workflows page + workflow-documenter agent (8 files, +366)

Mode: Paired — user asked "is there a place for use cases?", Claude proposed structure, user confirmed, Claude built.

6. Full Config Audit + Hardening (dots-quantum)

23 gaps identified across agents, rules, settings, CLAUDE.md, and .gitignore. All fixed:

  • 3 agents promoted to global (adoc-linter, build-fixer, project-modularizer)

  • 3 new rules (bash-shell, python, d2-diagrams)

  • Settings.json: fixed DOTFILES env var, added DOMUS_CAPTURES/DOMUS_DOCS, 10 new allows (107 total)

  • CLAUDE.md: fixed stale text, added System Awareness section (873 lines)

  • .gitignore: 4 missing runtime entries

Commits:

  • 08dbd21 — feat(claude): Promote agents, add rules, fix settings, update CLAUDE.md (9 files, +264/-5)

Mode: Delegated — user said "go."

7. Build Fixes (domus-captures)

9 Antora build errors resolved:

  • Escaped {attributes}, {slug}, {pkg} in non-source contexts

  • Escaped >\| (zsh noclobber operator parsed as table cell delimiter)

  • Escaped \{boot/efi,…​} and {print} in table cells

  • Fixed premature \|=== in appendix-field-notes table

Mode: Paired — build hook caught errors, Claude diagnosed and fixed.

Decisions Made

  • Accounts vs Subscriptions — Online credentials (Firefox, GitHub) are identity accounts, not paid subscriptions. New category needed.

  • 5 parallel agents for restructuring — No dependencies between the 5 flat files, so parallelization was safe. Antora pre-commit hook served as quality gate.

  • Global vs project-scoped agents — adoc-linter, build-fixer, project-modularizer are useful across all repos. worklog-creator, carryover-updater, workflow-documenter are domus-captures-specific.

  • Session logs as standalone pages — Sessions span multiple projects and repos. Per-project partials would fragment a single session’s work. SESSION-* prefix joins the existing document type system.

Teaching Points

  • Parallelization with quality gates — Independent tasks can run as parallel agents. The build hook catches any errors. This mirrors CI/CD pipeline design.

  • Live state is source of truth — Audit the actual config files, not the docs. Gap analysis identifies drift. Same principle as infrastructure drift detection.

  • Layered automation composes — Hooks fire automatically, skills are invoked explicitly, agents handle complex tasks, rules enforce silently. The layers don’t compete — they stack.

  • Table cell delimiters are greedy — AsciiDoc parses \| as cell boundaries BEFORE inline formatting. Even inside backticks, >\| creates a new cell. Escape with \.

In Flight

  • Push dots-quantum to origin (SSH not in sandbox PATH)

  • Commit + push domus-captures final sync

  • Create /session skill in dots-quantum

  • Add sessions/ to domus-captures nav.adoc

  • Establish SESSION-* as standard document prefix in domus-captures CLAUDE.md

Collaboration Mode Analysis

This session was predominantly delegated — the user set direction ("billion dollar style docs," "get the agents army to work," "go") and Claude executed with agent parallelization. The most productive patterns were:

  1. Explore → report → confirm → execute — Audit first, present findings, get approval, then fix. This mirrors Terraform plan/apply.

  2. Batch parallel agents — 5 agents restructuring 5 files simultaneously cut wall-clock time from ~25 minutes sequential to ~5 minutes parallel.

  3. Build hooks as safety net — The Antora pre-commit hook caught 9 errors that would have shipped otherwise. Hooks are the cheapest quality investment.

The coached moments were valuable too — the user pushed back on worklogs as the right home for session summaries, which led to the better SESSION-* pattern. Coaching goes both ways.
