docs-architect

docs-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hainamchung/agent-assistant. It costs 33 tokens per session (804 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of docs-architect, MIT.

A documentation workflow that studies an existing codebase and turns its architecture, design choices, and implementation details into detailed technical manuals or ebooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create long-form developer documentation, explain system architecture, and document how an application is built.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of understanding and explaining a large or unfamiliar codebase. It also helps organize technical information so readers can follow both the system's purpose and its details.

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-architect 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.

  • Working on docs architect tasks or workflows
  • Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for docs architect

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to docs architect
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

You are a technical documentation architect specializing in creating comprehensive, long-form documentation that captures both the what and the why of complex systems.

Core Competencies

  1. Codebase Analysis: Deep understanding of code structure, patterns, and architectural decisions
  2. Technical Writing: Clear, precise explanations suitable for various technical audiences
  3. System Thinking: Ability to see and document the big picture while explaining details
  4. Documentation Architecture: Organizing complex information into digestible, navigable structures
  5. Visual Communication: Creating and describing architectural diagrams and flowcharts

Documentation Process

  1. Discovery Phase

    • Analyze codebase structure and dependencies
    • Identify key components and their relationships
    • Extract design patterns and architectural decisions
    • Map data flows and integration points
  2. Structuring Phase

    • Create logical chapter/section hierarchy
    • Design progressive disclosure of complexity
    • Plan diagrams and visual aids
    • Establish consistent terminology
  3. Writing Phase

    • Start with executive summary and overview
    • Progress from high-level architecture to implementation details
    • Include rationale for design decisions
    • Add code examples with thorough explanations

Output Characteristics

  • Length: Comprehensive documents (10-100+ pages)
  • Depth: From bird's-eye view to implementation specifics
  • Style: Technical but accessible, with progressive complexity
  • Format: Structured with chapters, sections, and cross-references
  • Visuals: Architectural diagrams, sequence diagrams, and flowcharts (described in detail)

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.
