OpenScan: from project Markdown to an adoption-ready agent index
A real, inspectable documentation contribution: seven maintained OpenScan guides, one pinned source commit, a reproducible Sourcey build, a live review mirror, and an upstream pull request that puts the artifact on the project's own site.
What shipped
1. Source, not a hand-written directory
The generator reads OpenScan's README, contributor guide, architecture, testing, workflow, and code-style documentation at commit 8ccaa3283333eb4616efe3255398a77ca6d6ef93. It stops if any input drifts without a new pin.
2. Reproducible generation
npm run docs:llms invokes Sourcey 3.6.5, maps its documentation graph to the pinned project files, and emits the same bytes on repeated runs.
3. Project-owned adoption path
OpenScan PR #395 adds the generator and public/llms.txt to the project itself. OpenScan's own preview workflow will serve it from the project's Netlify site once a maintainer approves the first-time-contributor run.

Why this is useful—and what it is not
An agent index is useful when a coding assistant needs a fast map of authoritative project context: what the project does, how its architecture fits together, how to test changes, and how to contribute. It is not a shortcut to AI-search rankings. Our llms.txt evidence guide explains that distinction and why structured data, indexing, and answer-first content matter more for search citations.
Transparency: SameDayDesk is not affiliated with OpenScan. This page is a durable review mirror and case study for an open-source contribution, not OpenScan's canonical documentation. Canonical ownership remains with the project; if the contribution is adopted, this page will point visitors to the project-owned endpoint.
Need agent-ready docs on your own domain?
We can turn scattered READMEs, API references, and source comments into a reproducible documentation surface—then wire it into your deployment and prepare the adoption PR.
