Standardize agent documentation structure and maintain with AI

[ETeissonniere]

Problem Statement

As we scale to multiple agents, our documentation needs a standardized structure where each agent has comprehensive documentation, and our master README serves as a navigation hub. We also need to ensure AI agents automatically maintain documentation consistency.

Proposed Solution

1. Standardized Agent README Structure

Each agent should have a comprehensive README following this template:

agents/[agent-name]/README.md
├── Overview & Purpose
├── Quick Start
├── Configuration Reference
├── API Setup Instructions
├── Development Guide
├── Monitoring & Health Checks
├── Troubleshooting
└── Examples

2. Master README as Navigation Hub

Refactor the root README to:

• Brief project overview
• Links to each agent's documentation
• General development setup
• Architecture overview link

3. AI Agent Documentation Maintenance

Add instructions to CLAUDE.md requiring AI agents to:

• Always update relevant agent README when making changes
• Maintain consistency across documentation
• Follow the standardized structure
• Update master README links when adding new agents

Implementation Tasks

• Create agent README template in .github/AGENT_README_TEMPLATE.md
• Refactor YouTube Curator README to follow standard structure
• Update master README to link-based navigation
• Add documentation maintenance requirements to CLAUDE.md
• Create documentation linting/validation guidelines
• Establish process for documentation reviews

Benefits

1. Self-contained agents: Each agent fully documented independently
2. Consistent experience: Standardized structure across all agents
3. Auto-maintenance: AI agents keep docs current automatically
4. Scalable navigation: Master README doesn't grow with new agents
5. Developer efficiency: Predictable documentation location and format

Acceptance Criteria

• Agent README template created and documented
• YouTube Curator README follows new structure
• Master README refactored to navigation hub
• CLAUDE.md updated with documentation maintenance requirements
• All internal links updated and validated

Priority: Medium - Foundation for scalable multi-agent architecture, but only makes sense once we do have more than one agent
