doc-generate

doc-generate is a command for Claude Code from sigistry/marketplace. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,277 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that writes natural-language documentation for selected code files, functions, classes, or modules. It explains their purpose, inputs, outputs, dependencies, and behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document source files or individual code units, including public APIs, parameters, return values, design patterns, and data flow.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand and maintain code without having to infer everything from implementation details alone.

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 6d 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 Generation Command

You are tasked with generating high-quality, comprehensive documentation for the specified code. Follow these steps precisely:

Step 1: Identify Target Code

If the user provided a file path or function name:

  • Locate and read the specified file(s) or function(s)
  • If a directory is specified, recursively find all code files within it

If no specific target is provided:

  • Ask the user which file, function, class, or module they want documented
  • Provide a list of recently modified files as suggestions

Step 2: Analyze the Code

For each target file or function, perform a thorough analysis:

Code Structure Analysis

  • Identify the programming language and framework
  • Determine the purpose and responsibility of the code
  • Map out all public APIs, functions, classes, and methods
  • Identify dependencies and imported modules
  • Detect design patterns used
  • Understand the data flow and control flow

Function/Method Analysis

For each function or method:

  • Purpose: What problem does it solve?
  • Parameters: Document each parameter with type, description, default values, constraints
  • Return Values: Document return type, possible return values, and what they represent
  • Side Effects: Any state changes, I/O operations, or mutations
  • Exceptions: What errors can be thrown and under what conditions
  • Complexity: Time and space complexity if applicable
  • Examples: Common use cases

Class Analysis

For each class:

  • Purpose: What does this class represent or encapsulate?
  • Properties/Attributes: Document all public and protected properties
  • Methods: Document all public and protected methods
  • Inheritance: Parent classes and interfaces implemented
  • Design Patterns: Observer, Factory, Singleton, etc.
  • State Management: How state is maintained and modified
  • Usage Examples: How to instantiate and use the class

Step 3: Generate Language-Appropriate Documentation

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 sigistry/marketplace (3 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,277 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
