I doubt if there's any documentation.
Your best bet is to look at xtrn/lord/barak/barak.js, and search through xtrn/lord/lord.js for 'handle_igm' and 'create_other_places', all of which should provide some hints.
Apparently your main script inherits the scope of lord.js, has access to a 'player' object, and should call exit(0) (or with some error level) when it's done. lord.js uses dorkit, so you may want to look at exec/load/dorkit.js, or just take cues from barak.js on console IO matters.
Beyond that, look for Deuce on irc.synchro.net; he's the one who ported LORD to JS. Or create issues on gitlab.synchro.net for any particular items, and he can pick them up there.
