loom-documentation

loom-documentation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cosmix/loom. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,995 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical documentation guide covers the structure of README files, API references, architecture documents, decision records, changelogs, and code comments. It helps match each document to its intended audience and purpose.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing project guides, setup instructions, API documentation, architecture decisions, release notes, or explanatory comments.
Why use it?
It reduces incomplete, confusing, or misplaced documentation by defining what each type of document should contain.

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

loom-documentation 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 today.

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

Overview

Create and maintain documentation artifacts and their required structure: docstrings, inline comments, API references, READMEs, ADRs, changelogs, and architecture docs. This skill owns WHAT each artifact must contain. For prose mechanics (voice, clarity, sentence craft) and the Diátaxis mode framework, see loom-technical-writing. For visuals, see loom-diagramming; for API-spec files (OpenAPI), see loom-api-documentation.

Artifact → structure map

Pick the artifact by audience and Diátaxis mode, then fill its required structure. Never mix modes in one document (a reference is not a tutorial).

Artifact Diátaxis mode Must contain
README how-to + reference one-line pitch, install, quick-start, links out
Tutorial / getting-started tutorial ordered steps, a path guaranteed to work, expected output
How-to guide how-to goal-titled, prerequisites, numbered steps, verification
API reference reference every public symbol: params, returns, errors, ≥1 example
ADR explanation context, decision, consequences, alternatives, status
Changelog reference changes grouped per version, dates, breaking changes flagged
Docstring reference purpose, params, returns, raises/panics, example
Inline comment explanation WHY only — never restate the code

First step on any task: identify the audience (developer / end-user / operator / contributor), then read the code so docs match real behavior — never document from assumption.

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.
