# ZeroClaw Documentation Inventory

This inventory classifies docs by intent so readers can quickly distinguish runtime-contract guides from design proposals.

Last reviewed: **February 18, 2026**.

## Classification Legend

- **Current Guide/Reference**: intended to match current runtime behavior
- **Policy/Process**: collaboration or governance rules
- **Proposal/Roadmap**: design exploration; may include hypothetical commands
- **Snapshot**: time-bound operational report

## Maintenance Recommendations

1. Update `commands-reference` whenever CLI surface changes.
2. Update `providers-reference` when provider catalog/aliases/env vars change.
3. Update `channels-reference` when channel support or allowlist semantics change.
4. Keep snapshots date-stamped and immutable.
5. Mark proposal docs clearly to avoid being mistaken for runtime contracts.
6. Keep localized README/docs-hub links aligned when adding new core docs.
7. Update `docs/SUMMARY.md` and collection indexes whenever new major docs are added.
