+
+You are a Source Code Documentation Generator, an expert technical writer specializing in creating clear, comprehensive documentation for source code files. Your primary responsibility is to analyze source files and generate corresponding documentation files that explain the code's purpose, structure, and key components.
+
+Your process for each task:
+
+1. **Scan Source Directory**: Examine all files under ./src recursively, identifying source code files (typically .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .py, etc.)
+
+2. **Check Existing Documentation**: For each source file, check if a corresponding .md file already exists in the docs/ directory with the pattern: `docs/[relative-path-from-src]/[filename].[extension].md`
+
+3. **Determine Update Necessity**: Compare the modification time of the source file with its documentation file. Skip files where documentation is newer than the source file, indicating it's already up-to-date.
+
+4. **Analyze Source Code**: For files requiring documentation, thoroughly analyze:
+   - Main purpose and functionality
+   - Key classes, functions, or components
+   - Important interfaces, types, or data structures
+   - Dependencies and relationships
+   - Notable patterns or architectural decisions
+   - Public APIs and exports
+
+5. **Generate Documentation**: Create well-structured markdown files with:
+   - Clear title indicating the source file path
+   - Brief summary of the file's main purpose
+   - Detailed breakdown of major components
+   - Code examples when helpful for understanding
+   - Notes about dependencies or relationships to other files
+   - Any important implementation details or patterns
+
+6. **Maintain Directory Structure**: Ensure the docs/ directory mirrors the src/ directory structure, creating subdirectories as needed.
+
+7. **Report Progress**: Provide clear feedback about which files were processed, skipped, or encountered issues.
+
+Documentation Style Guidelines:
+- Use clear, concise language accessible to developers
+- Structure content with appropriate headings (##, ###)
+- Include code snippets when they clarify functionality
+- Focus on 'what' and 'why' rather than just 'how'
+- Highlight key architectural decisions or patterns
+- Note any complex logic or algorithms
+- Document public interfaces and their usage
+
+Quality Standards:
+- Ensure accuracy by carefully reading and understanding the source code
+- Make documentation self-contained and understandable without reading the source
+- Keep explanations at an appropriate technical level for the intended audience
+- Use consistent formatting and structure across all documentation files
+
+Error Handling:
+- Skip binary files, generated files, or files that cannot be meaningfully documented
+- Handle permission errors gracefully
+- Report any files that couldn't be processed and why
+- Continue processing other files even if some fail
+
+You will work systematically through the entire src/ directory, ensuring comprehensive documentation coverage while respecting existing up-to-date documentation to avoid unnecessary work.

-# Migration Guide: v0.0.23 → v0.0.24
-
-## What's New
-
-Version 0.0.24 introduces **trigger builder helpers** that dramatically reduce boilerplate when creating custom triggers, plus fixes field name clashing between built-in and external trigger parameters.
-
-## Breaking Changes
-
-**None** - This is a fully backward-compatible release. All existing triggers continue to work exactly as before.
-
-## New Features
-
-### 1. Trigger Builder Helpers
-
-New helper functions eliminate 90% of boilerplate when creating custom triggers:
-
-```bash
-npm update @xtr-dev/payload-automation
-```
-
-```typescript
-// Import the new helpers
-import { 
-  createTrigger, 
-  webhookTrigger, 
-  cronTrigger 
-} from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-```
-
-### 2. Fixed Field Name Clashing
-
-Built-in trigger parameters now use a JSON backing store to prevent conflicts with custom trigger fields.
-
-## Migration Steps
-
-### Step 1: Update Package
-
-```bash
-npm install @xtr-dev/payload-automation@latest
-# or
-pnpm update @xtr-dev/payload-automation
-```
-
-### Step 2: (Optional) Modernize Custom Triggers
-
-**Your existing triggers will continue to work**, but you can optionally migrate to the cleaner syntax:
-
-#### Before (Still Works)
-```typescript
-const customTrigger = {
-  slug: 'order-webhook',
-  inputs: [
-    {
-      name: 'webhookSecret',
-      type: 'text',
-      required: true,
-      virtual: true,
-      admin: {
-        condition: (_, siblingData) => siblingData?.type === 'order-webhook',
-        description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-      },
-      hooks: {
-        afterRead: [({ siblingData }) => siblingData?.parameters?.webhookSecret],
-        beforeChange: [({ value, siblingData }) => {
-          if (!siblingData.parameters) siblingData.parameters = {}
-          siblingData.parameters.webhookSecret = value
-          return undefined
-        }]
-      }
-    }
-    // ... more boilerplate
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-#### After (Recommended)
-```typescript
-import { createTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const orderWebhook = createTrigger('order-webhook').parameters({
-  webhookSecret: {
-    type: 'text',
-    required: true,
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-    }
-  }
-  // Add more parameters easily
-})
-```
-
-### Step 3: (Optional) Use Preset Builders
-
-For common trigger patterns:
-
-```typescript
-import { webhookTrigger, cronTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-// Webhook trigger with built-in path, secret, headers parameters
-const paymentWebhook = webhookTrigger('payment-webhook')
-  .parameter('currency', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['USD', 'EUR', 'GBP']
-  })
-  .build()
-
-// Cron trigger with built-in expression, timezone parameters  
-const dailyReport = cronTrigger('daily-report')
-  .parameter('format', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['pdf', 'csv']
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-## Quick Migration Examples
-
-### Simple Trigger Migration
-
-```typescript
-// OLD WAY (still works)
-{
-  slug: 'user-signup',
-  inputs: [/* 20+ lines of boilerplate per field */]
-}
-
-// NEW WAY (recommended)
-import { createTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const userSignup = createTrigger('user-signup').parameters({
-  source: {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['web', 'mobile', 'api'],
-    required: true
-  },
-  userType: {
-    type: 'select', 
-    options: ['regular', 'premium'],
-    defaultValue: 'regular'
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Webhook Trigger Migration
-
-```typescript
-// OLD WAY
-{
-  slug: 'payment-webhook',
-  inputs: [/* Manual webhookPath field + lots of boilerplate */]
-}
-
-// NEW WAY  
-import { webhookTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const paymentWebhook = webhookTrigger('payment-webhook')
-  .parameter('minimumAmount', { 
-    type: 'number', 
-    min: 0 
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-## Benefits of Migration
-
-- **90% less code** - Eliminate virtual field boilerplate
-- **No field name conflicts** - Built-in parameters isolated
-- **Better TypeScript support** - Full type inference
-- **Preset patterns** - Common trigger types ready-to-use
-- **Composable API** - Easy to extend and customize
-
-## Compatibility
-
-- ✅ **Existing triggers** continue to work unchanged
-- ✅ **Mix old and new** trigger styles in same config
-- ✅ **No database changes** required
-- ✅ **PayloadCMS field compatibility** maintained
-
-## Need Help?
-
-- [View examples](./examples/trigger-builders.ts)
-- [Read documentation](./examples/README-trigger-builders.md)
-- [Report issues](https://github.com/xtr-dev/payload-automation/issues)
-
----
-
-**TL;DR**: Update the package, optionally migrate custom triggers to use the new helpers for cleaner code. All existing triggers continue to work without changes.

-# Steps and Triggers Not Implementing
-
-This document lists workflow steps and triggers that are intentionally **not** being implemented in the core plugin. These are either better suited as custom user implementations or fall outside the plugin's scope.
-
-## Steps Not Implementing
-
-### Workflow Orchestration
-- **Stop Workflow** - Can be achieved through conditional logic
-- **Run Workflow** - Adds complexity to execution tracking and circular dependency management
-- **Parallel Fork/Join** - Current dependency system already enables parallel execution
-
-### External Service Integrations
-- **GraphQL Query** - Better as custom HTTP request step
-- **S3/Cloud Storage** - Too provider-specific
-- **Message Queue** (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS) - Infrastructure-specific
-- **SMS** (Twilio, etc.) - Requires external accounts
-- **Push Notifications** - Platform-specific implementation
-- **Slack/Discord/Teams** - Better as custom HTTP webhooks
-- **Calendar Integration** - Too many providers to support
-
-### AI/ML Operations
-- **AI Prompt** (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) - Requires API keys, better as custom implementation
-- **Text Analysis** - Too many variations and providers
-- **Image Processing** - Better handled by dedicated services
-
-### Specialized Data Operations
-- **Database Query** (Direct SQL/NoSQL) - Security concerns, bypasses Payload
-- **File Operations** - Complex permission and security implications
-- **Hash/Encrypt** - Security-sensitive, needs careful implementation
-- **RSS/Feed Processing** - Too specific for core plugin
-
-## Triggers Not Implementing
-
-### Workflow Events
-- **Workflow Complete/Failed** - Adds circular dependency complexity
-- **Step Failed** - Complicates error handling flow
-
-### System Events
-- **File Upload** - Can use collection hooks on media collections
-- **User Authentication** (Login/Logout) - Security implications
-- **Server Start/Stop** - Lifecycle management complexity
-- **Cache Clear** - Too implementation-specific
-- **Migration/Backup Events** - Infrastructure-specific
-
-### External Monitoring
-- **Email Received** (IMAP/POP3) - Requires mail server setup
-- **Git Webhooks** - Better as standard webhook triggers
-- **Performance Alerts** - Requires monitoring infrastructure
-- **Error Events** - Better handled by dedicated error tracking
-
-### Advanced Time-Based
-- **Recurring Patterns** (e.g., "every 2nd Tuesday") - Complex parsing and timezone handling
-- **Date Range Triggers** - Can be achieved with conditional logic in workflows
-
-## Why These Aren't Core Features
-
-1. **Maintainability**: Each external integration requires ongoing maintenance as APIs change
-2. **Security**: Many features have security implications that are better handled by users who understand their specific requirements
-3. **Flexibility**: Users can implement these as custom steps/triggers tailored to their needs
-4. **Scope**: The plugin focuses on being a solid workflow engine, not an everything-integration platform
-5. **Dependencies**: Avoiding external service dependencies keeps the plugin lightweight
-
-## What Users Can Do Instead
-
-- Implement custom steps using the plugin's TaskConfig interface
-- Use HTTP Request step for most external integrations  
-- Create custom triggers through Payload hooks
-- Build specialized workflow packages on top of this plugin

-**Error Handling:**
-HTTP Request steps use a **response-based success model** rather than status-code-based failures:
-
-- ✅ **Successful completion**: All HTTP requests that receive a response (including 4xx/5xx status codes) are marked as "succeeded"
-- ❌ **Failed execution**: Only network errors, timeouts, DNS failures, and connection issues cause step failure
-- 📊 **Error information preserved**: HTTP error status codes (404, 500, etc.) are captured in the step output for workflow conditional logic
-
-**Example workflow logic:**
-```typescript
-// Step outputs for a 404 response:
-{
-  "status": 404,
-  "statusText": "Not Found", 
-  "body": "Resource not found",
-  "headers": {...},
-  "duration": 1200
-}
-
-// Use in workflow conditions:
-// "$.steps.apiRequest.output.status >= 400" to handle errors
-```
-
-This design allows workflows to handle HTTP errors gracefully rather than failing completely, enabling robust error handling and retry logic.
-
-**Enhanced Error Tracking:**
-For network failures (timeouts, DNS errors, connection failures), the plugin provides detailed error information through an independent storage system that bypasses PayloadCMS's output limitations:
-
-```typescript
-// Timeout error details preserved in workflow context:
-{
-  "steps": {
-    "httpStep": {
-      "state": "failed",
-      "error": "Task handler returned a failed state",
-      "errorDetails": {
-        "errorType": "timeout",
-        "duration": 2006,
-        "attempts": 1,
-        "finalError": "Request timeout after 2000ms",
-        "context": {
-          "url": "https://api.example.com/data",
-          "method": "GET",
-          "timeout": 2000
-        }
-      },
-      "executionInfo": {
-        "completed": true,
-        "success": false,
-        "executedAt": "2025-09-04T15:16:10.000Z",
-        "duration": 2006
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-
-// Access in workflow conditions:
-// "$.steps.httpStep.errorDetails.errorType == 'timeout'"
-// "$.steps.httpStep.errorDetails.duration > 5000"
-```
+HTTP steps succeed even with 4xx/5xx status codes. Only network errors (timeouts, DNS failures) cause step failure. Check `{{steps.stepName.output.status}}` for error handling.

-# Trigger Builder Examples
-
-The new trigger builder API dramatically reduces boilerplate when creating custom triggers.
-
-## Before vs After
-
-### Before (Manual Approach)
-```typescript
-const customTrigger = {
-  slug: 'order-webhook',
-  inputs: [
-    {
-      name: 'webhookSecret',
-      type: 'text',
-      required: true,
-      virtual: true,
-      admin: {
-        condition: (_, siblingData) => siblingData?.type === 'order-webhook',
-        description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-      },
-      hooks: {
-        afterRead: [({ siblingData }) => siblingData?.parameters?.webhookSecret],
-        beforeChange: [({ value, siblingData }) => {
-          if (!siblingData.parameters) siblingData.parameters = {}
-          siblingData.parameters.webhookSecret = value
-          return undefined
-        }]
-      }
-    },
-    {
-      name: 'orderStatuses',
-      type: 'select',
-      hasMany: true,
-      options: ['pending', 'processing', 'completed'],
-      defaultValue: ['completed'],
-      virtual: true,
-      admin: {
-        condition: (_, siblingData) => siblingData?.type === 'order-webhook',
-        description: 'Order statuses that trigger the workflow'
-      },
-      hooks: {
-        afterRead: [({ siblingData }) => siblingData?.parameters?.orderStatuses || ['completed']],
-        beforeChange: [({ value, siblingData }) => {
-          if (!siblingData.parameters) siblingData.parameters = {}
-          siblingData.parameters.orderStatuses = value
-          return undefined
-        }]
-      }
-    }
-    // ... imagine more fields with similar boilerplate
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### After (Builder Approach)
-```typescript
-import { createTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const orderWebhook = createTrigger('order-webhook').parameters({
-  webhookSecret: {
-    type: 'text',
-    required: true,
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-    }
-  },
-  orderStatuses: {
-    type: 'select',
-    hasMany: true,
-    options: ['pending', 'processing', 'completed'],
-    defaultValue: ['completed'],
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Order statuses that trigger the workflow'
-    }
-  }
-})
-```
-
-## Built-in Trigger Presets
-
-### Webhook Trigger
-```typescript
-import { webhookTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const paymentWebhook = webhookTrigger('payment-webhook')
-  .parameter('currency', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['USD', 'EUR', 'GBP'],
-    defaultValue: 'USD'
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-### Scheduled/Cron Trigger
-```typescript
-import { cronTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const dailyReport = cronTrigger('daily-report')
-  .parameter('reportFormat', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['pdf', 'csv', 'json'],
-    defaultValue: 'pdf'
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-### Manual Trigger (No Parameters)
-```typescript
-import { manualTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const backupTrigger = manualTrigger('manual-backup')
-```
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Extending Common Parameters
-```typescript
-import { createAdvancedTrigger, webhookParameters } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const advancedWebhook = createAdvancedTrigger('advanced-webhook')
-  .extend(webhookParameters) // Includes path, secret, headers
-  .parameter('retryAttempts', {
-    type: 'number',
-    min: 0,
-    max: 5,
-    defaultValue: 3
-  })
-  .parameter('timeout', {
-    type: 'number',
-    min: 1000,
-    max: 30000,
-    defaultValue: 5000,
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Timeout in milliseconds'
-    }
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-### Custom Validation
-```typescript
-const validatedTrigger = createTrigger('validated-trigger').parameters({
-  email: {
-    type: 'email',
-    required: true,
-    validate: (value) => {
-      if (value?.endsWith('@spam.com')) {
-        return 'Spam domains not allowed'
-      }
-      return true
-    }
-  },
-  webhookUrl: {
-    type: 'text',
-    required: true,
-    validate: (value) => {
-      try {
-        const url = new URL(value)
-        if (!['http:', 'https:'].includes(url.protocol)) {
-          return 'Only HTTP/HTTPS URLs allowed'
-        }
-      } catch {
-        return 'Please enter a valid URL'
-      }
-      return true
-    }
-  }
-})
-```
-
-## Usage in Plugin Configuration
-
-```typescript
-import { workflowsPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation'
-import { 
-  createTrigger, 
-  webhookTrigger, 
-  cronTrigger 
-} from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-export default buildConfig({
-  plugins: [
-    workflowsPlugin({
-      triggers: [
-        // Mix different trigger types
-        createTrigger('user-signup').parameters({
-          source: {
-            type: 'select',
-            options: ['web', 'mobile', 'api'],
-            required: true
-          }
-        }),
-        
-        webhookTrigger('payment-received')
-          .parameter('minimumAmount', { type: 'number', min: 0 })
-          .build(),
-          
-        cronTrigger('weekly-cleanup')
-          .parameter('deleteOlderThan', {
-            type: 'number',
-            defaultValue: 30,
-            admin: { description: 'Delete records older than N days' }
-          })
-          .build()

-# PayloadCMS Workflows Plugin Examples
-
-This directory contains example code demonstrating how to use the PayloadCMS Workflows plugin.
-
-## Manual Trigger Example
-
-The `manual-trigger-example.ts` file shows how to:
-- Create a workflow with a manual trigger button in the admin UI
-- Trigger workflows programmatically using custom triggers
-- Access trigger data in workflow steps using JSONPath
-
-### Setting up a Manual Trigger Workflow
-
-1. Configure the plugin with a custom trigger:
-```typescript
-workflowsPlugin({
-  triggers: [
-    {
-      slug: 'manual-trigger',
-      inputs: []  // No inputs needed for simple manual triggers
-    }
-  ],
-  // ... other config
-})
-```
-
-2. Create a workflow with the manual trigger:
-```typescript
-await payload.create({
-  collection: 'workflows',
-  data: {
-    name: 'My Manual Workflow',
-    triggers: [
-      {
-        type: 'manual-trigger'
-      }
-    ],
-    steps: [
-      // Your workflow steps here
-    ]
-  }
-})
-```
-
-3. The workflow will now have a "Trigger Workflow" button in the admin UI
-
-### Triggering Workflows Programmatically
-
-```typescript
-import { triggerCustomWorkflow } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation'
-
-// Trigger all workflows with 'manual-trigger'
-const results = await triggerCustomWorkflow(payload, {
-  slug: 'manual-trigger',
-  data: {
-    // Custom data to pass to the workflow
-    source: 'api',
-    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Accessing Trigger Data in Steps
-
-Use JSONPath expressions to access trigger data in your workflow steps:
-- `$.trigger.data.source` - Access custom data fields
-- `$.trigger.type` - The trigger type
-- `$.trigger.triggeredAt` - When the trigger was activated
