generate

generate is a command for Claude Code from hculap/better-code. It costs 7 tokens per session (1,779 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates documentation for a feature, component, or module by examining its code and project documentation settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate tutorials, task guides, technical references, or explanations for named features, component paths, or modules.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide manually what files to read, what documentation format to use, and where the finished document should go.

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

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.

Documentation Generator

Generate documentation for a specific feature, component, or module using the appropriate specialized agent.

Arguments

  • feature (required): What to document

    • Feature name: "user authentication", "payment processing"
    • Component path: "./src/components/Button"
    • Module: "api/users"
  • --type (optional): Document type to generate

    • tutorial: Learning-oriented walkthrough
    • howto: Task-oriented guide
    • reference: Technical reference documentation
    • explanation: Conceptual explanation
    • If omitted: Generate appropriate type based on context
  • --output (optional): Output path for generated documentation

    • Default: Suggests appropriate location based on project structure

Process

Step 1: Load Configuration

Read .claude/doc-master.local.md for:

  • Documentation standard (Diátaxis/Traditional/Custom)
  • Custom rules (if applicable)
  • Project-specific notes

Step 2: Analyze Feature

  1. Locate feature code:

    • Search for related files
    • Read main implementation
    • Identify dependencies
  2. Understand feature:

    • What does it do?
    • How is it used?
    • What are the public interfaces?
    • What are common use cases?
  3. Identify domain:

    • Backend → Use backend-docs agent
    • Frontend → Use frontend-docs agent
    • API → Use api-docs agent
    • Database → Use database-docs agent
    • Architecture → Use architecture-docs agent
    • Tests → Use test-docs agent
    • User-facing → Use user-guide-docs agent
    • Compliance → Use compliance-docs agent
    • Mobile → Use mobile-docs agent

Step 3: Determine Document Type

If --type not specified, determine based on:

  • Feature nature (new feature → tutorial, existing API → reference)
  • User needs (ask if unclear)
  • Existing documentation gaps

Step 4: Gather Information

Collect all information needed for documentation:

  • Code signatures, parameters, return types
  • Usage examples from tests or existing code
  • Related documentation
  • Error cases and edge cases

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.
