Generate comprehensive handover documentation for Edge Delivery Services projects. Orchestrates the creation of guides for different audiences.
Available Documentation Types
| Guide | Audience | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Authoring Guide | Content authors and content managers | handover-author |
| Developer Guide | Developers and technical team | handover-developer |
| Admin Guide | Site administrators and operations | handover-admin |
Execution Flow
Step 0: Navigate to Project Root (MANDATORY)
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
ls scripts/aem.js
If scripts/aem.js does not exist, tell the user this skill requires an AEM Edge Delivery Services project and stop.
All subsequent steps operate from project root. Guides are created at project-guides/.
Step 0.5: Clean Up Stale Config
rm -f .claude-plugin/project-config.json
Step 1: Ask User for Documentation Type
Use AskUserQuestion with exactly these 4 options:
AskUserQuestion({
"questions": [{
"question": "Which type of handover documentation would you like me to generate?",
"header": "Guide Type",
"options": [
{"label": "All (Recommended)", "description": "Generate all three guides: Authoring, Developer, and Admin"},
{"label": "Authoring Guide", "description": "For content authors and managers - blocks, templates, publishing"},
{"label": "Developer Guide", "description": "For developers - codebase, implementations, design tokens"},
{"label": "Admin Guide", "description": "For site administrators - permissions, API operations, cache"}
],
"multiSelect": false
}]
})
Step 1.5: Get Organization Name
After the user selects guide type(s), ensure the organization name is available before invoking any sub-skills.
1.5.1 Check for Saved Organization
cat .claude-plugin/project-config.json 2>/dev/null | node -e "
const d = require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8');
try { const o = JSON.parse(d).org; if(o) console.log('org: ' + o); } catch(e) {}
"
1.5.2 Resolve Site Name from Git
SITE=$(basename -s .git $(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null)
echo "site=${SITE:-NOT SET}"
1.5.3 Prompt for Organization Name (If Not Saved)
If no org name is saved, ask the user:
"What is your Config Service organization name? This is the
{org}part of your Edge Delivery Services URLs (e.g.,https://main--site--{org}.aem.page). The org name may differ from your GitHub organization.You can provide either the org name or a preview/live URL."
Ask as a plain text question — not AskUserQuestion with options. Organization name is mandatory.
If the user provides a URL, parse org from it:
URL="$USER_INPUT"
if echo "$URL" | grep -q '\.aem\.page\|\.aem\.live'; then
HOST_PART=$(echo "$URL" | cut -d'/' -f3 | cut -d'.' -f1)
ORG=$(echo "$HOST_PART" | awk -F'--' '{print $NF}')
echo "Parsed from URL: org=$ORG"
fi
1.5.4 Save Organization Name
mkdir -p .claude-plugin
grep -qxF '.claude-plugin/' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.claude-plugin/' >> .gitignore
# Include allGuides flag only when "All (Recommended)" was selected
echo '{"org": "{ORG_NAME}"}' > .claude-plugin/project-config.json
# OR for "All (Recommended)":
echo '{"org": "{ORG_NAME}", "allGuides": true}' > .claude-plugin/project-config.json
Replace {ORG_NAME} with the actual organization name. Include "allGuides": true only when user selected "All (Recommended)" — this signals sub-skills to skip step 0 validation.
Step 1.6: Authenticate
Check for a valid auth token:
AUTH_TOKEN=$(node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
try {
const t = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ims-token.json', 'utf8'));
if (t.authToken && t.authTokenExpiry > Math.floor(Date.now()/1000) + 60) {
process.stdout.write(t.authToken);
}
} catch (e) {}
")
if [ -n "$AUTH_TOKEN" ]; then
echo "Token valid"
else
echo "Token missing or expired."
fi
If no valid token, invoke the auth skill:
Skill({ skill: "aem-project-management:auth" })
Authenticating here means all sub-skills running in parallel can use the saved token without each prompting for login separately.
Step 1.7: Validate Organization Name
After authentication, verify the org name:
AUTH_TOKEN=$(node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
try {
const t = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ims-token.json', 'utf8'));
process.stdout.write(t.authToken || '');
} catch (e) {}
")
ORG=$(cat .claude-plugin/project-config.json | node -e "
const d = require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8');
process.stdout.write(JSON.parse(d).org || '');
")
curl -s -w "\nHTTP: %{http_code}" -H "x-auth-token: ${AUTH_TOKEN}" \
"https://admin.hlx.page/config/${ORG}/sites.json"
If HTTP 200: org is valid, proceed to Step 2.
If non-200: tell the user the org name appears incorrect and ask for the correct one. Update .claude-plugin/project-config.json and retry until HTTP 200.
Step 2: Invoke Appropriate Skill(s)
| Selection | Action |
|---|---|
| All | Invoke all three skills in parallel (see Step 3) |
| Authoring Guide | Skill({ skill: "aem-project-management:handover-author" }) |
| Developer Guide | Skill({ skill: "aem-project-management:handover-developer" }) |
| Admin Guide | Skill({ skill: "aem-project-management:handover-admin" }) |
For single-guide selections, invoke the skill directly from the main conversation (not via Agent) so permission prompts reach the user.
Step 3: For "All" Selection — Parallel Execution
Provide immediate feedback before starting:
"Starting parallel generation of all 3 handover guides:
Authoring Guide - analyzing blocks, templates, configurations...
Developer Guide - analyzing code, patterns, architecture...
Admin Guide - analyzing deployment, security, operations..."
Launch all three agents simultaneously in a single message (foreground mode). Do NOT use run_in_background: true. Tell each agent to read the sub-skill SKILL.md and follow its instructions directly — do NOT tell agents to invoke the Skill tool.
Agent({
description: "Generate authoring guide",
prompt: "You are generating an authoring guide for an AEM Edge Delivery Services project at {PROJECT_ROOT}. Read the skill instructions at {PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/handover-author/SKILL.md and follow them to generate the guide. The project config is at .claude-plugin/project-config.json (org, allGuides are already set — skip Phase 0 and authentication). Auth token is at ~/.aem/ims-token.json. Start from Phase 1. For PDF conversion, read {PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/whitepaper/SKILL.md and follow its instructions. Do NOT use the Skill tool — execute all steps directly with Bash, Read, and Write tools."
})
Agent({
description: "Generate developer guide",
prompt: "You are generating a developer guide for an AEM Edge Delivery Services project at {PROJECT_ROOT}. Read the skill instructions at {PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/handover-developer/SKILL.md and follow them to generate the guide. The project config is at .claude-plugin/project-config.json (org, allGuides are already set — skip Phase 0 and authentication). Auth token is at ~/.aem/ims-token.json. Start from Phase 1. For PDF conversion, read {PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/whitepaper/SKILL.md and follow its instructions. Do NOT use the Skill tool — execute all steps directly with Bash, Read, and Write tools."
})
Agent({
description: "Generate admin guide",
prompt: "You are generating an admin guide for an AEM Edge Delivery Services project at {PROJECT_ROOT}. Read the skill instructions at {PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/handover-admin/SKILL.md and follow them to generate the guide. The project config is at .claude-plugin/project-config.json (org, allGuides are already set — skip Phase 0 and authentication). Auth token is at ~/.aem/ims-token.json. Start from Phase 1. For PDF conversion, read {PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/whitepaper/SKILL.md and follow its instructions. Do NOT use the Skill tool — execute all steps directly with Bash, Read, and Write tools."
})
Replace {PROJECT_ROOT} with the actual project root path (output of git rev-parse --show-toplevel).
Determine {PLUGIN_ROOT} with:
PLUGIN_ROOT=$([ -d ".claude/plugins/aem-project-management" ] && echo ".claude/plugins/aem-project-management" || echo "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT")
When all three complete, report the final summary:
"Handover documentation complete:
project-guides/
├── AUTHOR-GUIDE.pdf
├── DEVELOPER-GUIDE.pdf
└── ADMIN-GUIDE.pdf
All PDFs generated. Source files cleaned up."
Output Files
| Selection | Output Files |
|---|---|
| All | project-guides/AUTHOR-GUIDE.pdf, project-guides/DEVELOPER-GUIDE.pdf, project-guides/ADMIN-GUIDE.pdf |
| Authoring Guide | project-guides/AUTHOR-GUIDE.pdf |
| Developer Guide | project-guides/DEVELOPER-GUIDE.pdf |
| Admin Guide | project-guides/ADMIN-GUIDE.pdf |
Each sub-skill generates a PDF immediately after completing the guide. All source files (.md, .html, .plain.html) are cleaned up after PDF generation.
