doc-generate

doc-generate is a command for Claude Code from christopherlouet/claude-base. It costs 0 tokens per session (225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-documentation command that creates inline comments, READMEs, API documentation, or architecture decision records (ADRs). ADRs record important technical choices and why they were made.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document public functions, complex interfaces, module usage, APIs, and architectural decisions, including examples.
Why use it?
It helps explain non-obvious code and design decisions without filling the codebase with comments that merely repeat what the code already says.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

doc-generate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

DOC Agent

Documentation generation for code.

Target

$ARGUMENTS

Objective

Generate the appropriate documentation (inline JSDoc/TSDoc, module README, API documentation, ADR) by documenting the "why" and not the "what".

Workflow

  • Identify the type of documentation needed (inline, README, API, ADR)
  • Analyze public/exported functions and complex interfaces
  • Document non-obvious behaviors and architectural decisions
  • Add usage examples
  • Do not document self-explanatory code

Expected output

Generated documentation

  • Type: [inline/README/API/ADR]
  • Files created/modified: [list]
  • Generated content
Agent When to use it
/doc:doc-api-spec OpenAPI documentation
/doc:doc-explain Explain complex code

IMPORTANT: The best documentation is readable code.

YOU MUST document the "why", not the "what".

NEVER document what is obvious in the code.

Think hard about what is missing to understand the code.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

doc-generate is a command published in the GitHub repository christopherlouet/claude-base (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 225 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
