Documentation is Executable Infrastructure

Why I spent 4 hours building a 5,000-line guide that only an AI will ever read.

Most people write documentation as a “Safety Net.” They write it so that if a human forgets how to do something, they can look it up six months later. It is a passive archive of things we used to know.

But in the age of Agentic Workflows, documentation has a new job. Documentation is the Blueprint for the machine.

The Axiom

If your documentation is fuzzy, your agents will hallucinate. If your documentation is surgical, your agents will ship.

The Lab Result

I just finished a 5,000-line Master Guide for the Antigravity-Stitch Protocol. It covers everything from competitive research via Firecrawl to Apple-style scroll animations with Veo.

No human will ever read this entire document. Not even me.

Instead, my agents (Antigravity) use it as Executable Infrastructure. When I ask for a new landing page, the agent doesn’t “guess” how to structure the hero section. It reads the protocol, sees the specific frame-generation steps for Google Whisk, and executes.

The Shift

We are moving from a Knowledge Economy to an Execution Economy.

Then: Documentation was a “How-To” (Passive).
Now: Documentation is a “Prompt Engine” (Active).

When you build a knowledge base today, you aren’t writing for a trainee. You are writing for an intern with a photographic memory and 100x your speed, but zero intuition.

Stop writing manuals. Start building the plumbing.
