## 🔧 For AI Agents: Creating Feature Documentation

When implementing a new feature, follow these steps:

### 1. Create Feature Directory

```bash
mkdir -p docs/features/{feature-name}
```

### 2. Copy Templates

```bash
cp docs/templates/feature-readme-template.md docs/features/{feature-name}/README.md
cp docs/templates/feature-setup-template.md docs/features/{feature-name}/setup.md
```

### 3. Customize Documentation

- Replace `{Feature Name}` and `{feature-name}` placeholders
- Add actual code examples from the implementation
- Include real environment variables and configuration
- Update the feature table in this file

### 4. Update Central Documentation

- Add feature to [../FEATURES.md](../FEATURES.md)
- Update [../SETUP.md](../SETUP.md) if needed
- Reference the new documentation in related guides

## 📚 Documentation Standards
