docs

docs is a skill for Claude Code from ericfitz/skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,169 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for reading a project’s written records, such as requirements documents, specifications, design documents, and architecture decisions. It extracts what the system should do, how people use it, and which rules must remain true.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to profile a project, collect requirements, identify domain terms, and establish fixed system rules.
Why use it?
It helps an agent understand an unfamiliar project from its own documentation before making changes or gathering requirements.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

docs

Read what this project wrote down about itself, and extract what it says the system is supposed to do.

This is the second gate phase: journeys, topology, and other consumers all read from the record this phase produces, so they read it once and agree about it.

Reference: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/doc-sources.md Contract: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/contracts/docs.schema.json Example: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/contracts/examples/docs.example.json

Usage

/profile:docs [path]

Input

You are normally handed a profile:stack contract; use inventory.docs and inventory.docs_sites as your in-repo census. You may also be handed external document pointers — URLs, wiki locations, local paths.

Standalone invocation: if you were not handed a stack contract, invoke profile:stack first and use its output. If you were not given external pointers and you are running in a conversation with the user, ask once whether any requirements documents, PRDs, or specifications live outside the repository, and accept "none".

Output location

Emit the contract as your reply; never write it into the target repo.

Procedure

  1. Resolve sources. For each in-repo document, the capability is Read. For each external pointer, match it to a capability that is already available in this session per the source-tier table. Record every resolved source in sources_available[] with the capability you used.

  2. Record what you cannot reach. A pointer with no matching capability goes in unavailable_sources[] with a reason and a suggested_remedy drawn from the remedy table. Then continue — an unreachable source is a reported gap, never a stop.

  3. Census. For every candidate, record locator, title, headings, and last_modified. Correct the inventory's doc_type_guess, which is a path-based guess made without reading anything.

  4. Rank by the signals in the reference, in the order given.

  5. Deep-read down the ranking to the 25-document budget. Each document read becomes a corpus[] entry with read: full or read: skimmed and an authority value. Everything below the line becomes a deferred[] entry.

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.
