Focus on relationships, intent, design decisions, and non-obvious behavior. + +### Agent 4: Microsoft Learn documentation research + +Use the Microsoft Learn MCP tools to research the feature area being documented. This agent provides external context that enriches the generated documentation. + +Prompt the agent to: + +1. **Search Microsoft Learn** using `microsoft_docs_search` for the app's feature area (e.g., "Business Central Shopify connector", "Business Central bank reconciliation"). Look for: + - Official feature overviews and how-to guides + - Intended behavior and supported scenarios + - Known limitations and prerequisites + - Official terminology and naming conventions +2. **Fetch key pages** using `microsoft_docs_fetch` for the most relevant results -- typically the feature overview page and any setup/configuration guide +3. **Search for code samples** using `microsoft_code_sample_search` if the feature involves APIs, integrations, or extension patterns that Microsoft documents with examples +4. **Summarize findings** relevant to documentation: + - What is the official description of this feature? + - What scenarios does Microsoft say it supports? + - What terminology does the official documentation use? + - Any documented limitations, prerequisites, or known issues? +5. **Flag potential discrepancies** -- note anything the docs describe that might differ from the code (these will be verified against source code later) + +**Important**: Microsoft docs may be outdated or describe planned behavior that differs from the actual implementation. **Source code is always the source of truth.** This agent provides context and intent -- the other agents provide the ground truth from code. When conflicts arise during generation, document what the code does, not what the docs say. + +### Agent 3: Business logic, extensibility, patterns, and module scoring + +Prompt the agent to: + +1. **Understand the key business processes** by reading codeunit objects. Focus on: + - What are the main operations this app performs? (e.g., sync, import, export, post) + - What triggers each operation? (user action, schedule, event) + - What are the key decision points? (when does it create vs update vs skip?) + - What can go wrong and how are errors handled? +2. **Map processing flows** -- follow the call chain for key operations. Focus on the narrative: what happens, why, and what's non-obvious. Don't just list procedure names. +3. **Catalog extension points** -- find all `[IntegrationEvent]`, `[BusinessEvent]`, `[EventSubscriber]` attributes and interface implementations. Group them by what a developer would want to customize, not by codeunit. Identify which events are genuinely useful vs. which are just plumbing. +4. **Identify patterns worth documenting** -- only patterns that are non-obvious or used in interesting ways in this specific codebase. Skip standard AL patterns that any developer already knows. +5. **Flag legacy patterns** -- identify patterns that exist in the codebase (often for historical reasons) but should NOT be followed in new code. Examples: direct SQL access, hardcoded IDs, global variables where a parameter would suffice, overly large codeunits that should be refactored, deprecated APIs still in use. These will be documented in the "Legacy patterns" section of patterns.md as guidance for future developers. +6. **Score all subfolders recursively at any depth** for documentation need using the scoring criteria in `skills/al-docs/references/al-scoring.md`. Read that file for the full scoring table. A subfolder can have subfolders that are big enough to need their own documentation. Classify each subfolder as MUST_DOCUMENT (7+), SHOULD_DOCUMENT (4-6), or OPTIONAL (1-3) + +**Important**: Do NOT create inventories of every codeunit with its procedures. Focus on understanding the flows, decision points, and gotchas. The docs should capture knowledge a developer would only learn after spending time in the code. + +--- + +## Phase 2: Documentation map + +After all discovery agents complete, synthesize findings into a **documentation map**. + +**IMPORTANT**: Include ALL subfolders at any depth scored MUST_DOCUMENT or SHOULD_DOCUMENT. A subfolder can contain nested subfolders that each need their own documentation.

The +`Shpfy Product` table stores the Shopify-side data and links to BC via +`Item SystemId` (a Guid, not the Item No.). This means renumbering items +doesn't break the link. + +Each product has one or more **variants** (`Shpfy Variant`). A variant +is the actual sellable unit -- it carries the price, SKU, and inventory. +The tricky part: a single-variant product still has one variant record, +but `Has Variants` is false on the product. This flag controls whether +the connector creates BC Item Variants or maps the variant directly to +the Item. + +When `UoM as Variant` is enabled on the shop, one of the variant option +slots (Option 1/2/3) represents a unit of measure instead of a product +attribute. The `UoM Option Id` field on the variant indicates which slot. +This means stock calculations must convert between the variant's UoM and +the item's base UoM. + +**Change detection**: The connector avoids unnecessary API calls by +hashing product descriptions, tags, and images. Only when a hash changes +does it push an update to Shopify. The `Last Updated by BC` timestamp +prevents circular updates -- if BC just updated the product, an incoming +Shopify webhook for that same product is ignored. +``` + +### Templates + +#### CLAUDE.md (app level) + +```markdown +# [App Name] + +[2-3 sentences: what this app does, what problem it solves, and how it +integrates with BC.
