make-examples

A command that adds or improves code examples in a documentation file while following the project's existing conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for procedures, configuration settings, APIs, commands, and troubleshooting sections that lack useful examples.
Why use it?
It makes instructions and technical ideas easier to understand and gives readers examples they can safely adapt.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

make-examples 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add Code Examples

Review the documentation file at $ARGUMENTS and add or improve code examples.

Follow ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/docs-assist/reference/code-examples.md for the method: examples that are safe and consistent with the rest of the docs, anchored to the .docs-assist/reference.yml registry.

Process

1. Analyze the Document

  • Read the document and identify its content type (concept, doc, guide, reference, etc.)
  • Find sections that would benefit from code examples
  • Identify existing examples that could be improved

2. Determine What Examples to Add

Look for:

  • Procedures without corresponding code
  • Concepts that would be clearer with examples
  • Configuration options without sample values
  • API/CLI references without usage examples
  • Troubleshooting steps without commands

3. Create Examples

Follow these rules:

Safety
  • All examples must be copy-paste ready
  • Never use dangerous commands without safeguards
  • Use documentation IP ranges (192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24)
  • Use clearly fake values that won't accidentally work (example.com, your-api-key, etc.)
Consistency
  • Match the style of existing examples in the codebase
  • Use the same variable names, paths, and patterns as other docs
  • Read .docs-assist/reference.yml and use its example-variable values, or follow a pointer entry if one fits. If the registry is absent, offer to create it seeded from values already used across the docs, and add any new placeholder you introduce. The plugin maintains this file. See code-examples.md.
  • If the repo has example conventions, follow them
Formatting
  • Always include language tags on code blocks
  • Combine related commands with &&
  • Don't put multiple separate commands in one fenced block
  • Add brief annotations above or below complex examples
Completeness
  • Show the expected output where helpful
  • Include error cases for troubleshooting docs
  • Provide both minimal and complete examples when appropriate

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.

make-examples is a command published in the GitHub repository EdwardAngert/docs-agent-plugin (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 570 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
