docs

docs is a skill for Claude Code from backchainai/backchain-plugins. It costs 173 tokens per session (3,914 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A documentation tool based on Diátaxis, a method that separates docs into tutorials, task guides, reference material, and explanations. It routes a document to the appropriate type, helps write or edit it, and checks its Markdown formatting.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create or reorganise individual user-documentation pages, decide where they belong, and validate their Markdown.
Why use it?
It helps keep documentation focused on one purpose and catches formatting problems before publication.

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

docs 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_markdown.py, scripts/test_check_markdown.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 253 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Docs

Route one document to the mode it belongs in, write it under that mode's constraints, then check its markdown form.

The unit of work is one document and one next action. This skill does not plan a documentation set top-down, does not audit a whole docs/ tree in one pass, and does not produce an outline for a future set of pages.

Two paths share the same routing step: writing a new document (the write path) and assessing one that already exists (the place path). Both start at the compass below, and both end at the same markdown-form check.

Where this does not apply

Diataxis governs product documentation written for a user. It does not govern everything that happens to be a markdown file in a repository.

Check the request against this table before routing anything:

Out of scope Why
ADRs and decision records A dated historical artifact, not one of the four modes
Commit messages, PR descriptions Not user documentation
Changelogs, release notes Chronological by nature; no mode applies
Code comments and docstrings Belong to the code, not the documentation set
CLAUDE.md, agent and tool config Instructions to a machine, not a user

When the request names one of these, say which row applies and stop before opening the compass.

None of the four modes fits an artifact that is fundamentally dated, historical, or machine-facing.

READMEs are in scope: advise on README structure when asked (trim it, reorder it, link out more aggressively), but never propose extracting its parts into separate mode documents the way this skill would for a contaminated tutorial or how-to guide. A README is a landing page and legitimately hybrid.

When scope is ambiguous

  • A design doc that reads like project history belongs with ADRs, even if nobody labeled it one.
  • A "docs" folder that turns out to hold internal runbooks for the team, not instructions for a product user, is out of scope until the request is reframed around an external reader.
  • A file named NOTES.md sitting next to code is closer to a code comment than to any of the four modes; ask what reader it serves before routing it.

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.
