Summary

This PR adds comprehensive documentation headers to all bash and PowerShell scripts in the scripts/ folder to
improve contributor onboarding and project maintainability.

What was changed

Added detailed documentation headers to 12 scripts total:

Bash Scripts (scripts/bash/):

  • check-task-prerequisites.sh - Validates prerequisites before implementation tasks
  • common.sh - Shared utility functions and path resolution logic
  • create-new-feature.sh - Initializes new features with branch and directory structure
  • get-feature-paths.sh - Displays current feature file and directory paths
  • setup-plan.sh - Creates implementation plan from template
  • update-agent-context.sh - Updates AI agent context files with project information

PowerShell Scripts (scripts/powershell/):

  • check-task-prerequisites.ps1 - PowerShell equivalent of bash prerequisites checker
  • common.ps1 - PowerShell shared functions library
  • create-new-feature.ps1 - PowerShell feature initialization script
  • get-feature-paths.ps1 - PowerShell path display utility
  • setup-plan.ps1 - PowerShell plan setup script
  • update-agent-context.ps1 - PowerShell agent context updater

Documentation includes

Each script now contains:

  • Comprehensive description of purpose and functionality
  • Usage instructions with syntax and examples
  • Parameter/option documentation with detailed explanations
  • Prerequisites for running the script
  • Exit codes and error handling information
  • Workflow integration context within Spec-Driven Development
  • Related scripts references for better navigation
  • Cross-platform notes (for PowerShell scripts)

Why this helps contributors

  1. Faster onboarding - New contributors can understand script purposes immediately
  2. Better debugging - Clear parameter documentation and error codes
  3. Workflow understanding - Each script's role in the SDD process is explained
  4. Platform flexibility - PowerShell scripts document cross-platform considerations
  5. Reduced maintenance burden - Self-documenting code reduces support questions

Testing

  • All scripts retain their original functionality
  • Documentation follows consistent formatting standards
  • Cross-references between related scripts are accurate
  • Examples provided are realistic and helpful

Breaking changes

None - this is purely additive documentation with no functional changes.

Why This Contribution Matters

  1. Improved Developer Experience: Contributors can now quickly understand what each script does without reading
    through the implementation
  2. Better Maintainability: Future updates to scripts will be easier with clear documentation of current
    functionality
  3. Onboarding Acceleration: New team members can get up to speed faster with comprehensive usage examples
  4. Workflow Clarity: The documentation clearly explains how each script fits into the Spec-Driven Development
    process
  5. Cross-Platform Support: PowerShell documentation specifically addresses Windows/Linux/macOS considerations

Files Modified

  • scripts/bash/check-task-prerequisites.sh
  • scripts/bash/common.sh
  • scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh
  • scripts/bash/get-feature-paths.sh
  • scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh
  • scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh
  • scripts/powershell/check-task-prerequisites.ps1
  • scripts/powershell/common.ps1
  • scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1
  • scripts/powershell/get-feature-paths.ps1
  • scripts/powershell/setup-plan.ps1
  • scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1

The documentation follows a consistent format across all scripts and provides both technical details and practical
examples to help contributors understand and effectively use the Spec-Driven Development workflow automation
tools.
