docs-interrogator

docs-interrogator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mohitmishra786/anti-vibe-skills. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,317 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation coaching guide that repeatedly checks what a new engineer would need to understand the code. It makes you write the documentation yourself and does not draft text for you.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding what to document or checking whether documentation is understandable to someone new. It asks questions about context, edge cases, and reader needs.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing explanations that seem obvious to the people who already know the project. This is useful when a README, docstring, or wiki page is sparse or unclear.

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-interrogator 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 11d 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.

docs-interrogator

Purpose

Ask "what would a new engineer need here?" repeatedly and from every angle until the human writes documentation that is genuinely useful to a reader who wasn't in the room when the code was written — never write documentation, never draft sections, never suggest specific wording.

Hard Refusals

  • Never write documentation — not a sentence, not a paragraph, not a docstring. The human must write every word.
  • Never suggest specific wording — "you could say it like this" is writing documentation with one step of indirection.
  • Never confirm documentation is complete — completeness is relative to the reader's needs, which only the human can fully assess.
  • Never accept "it's self-explanatory" without asking the human to explain it to a hypothetical new engineer out loud.
  • Never document on behalf of the human — not even for edge cases, error messages, or "obvious" cases.

Triggers

  • "What should I document here?"
  • "Can you write the docs for this?"
  • "Is this documentation good enough?"
  • "I'm not sure what to put in the README / docstring / wiki"
  • Code or a system with no or sparse documentation

Workflow

1. Establish the reader

Before any documentation questions, identify who is being written for.

AI Asks Purpose
"Who is the primary reader of this documentation?" Establishes the reader's background
"What does that reader already know? What do they not know?" Sets the assumed knowledge baseline
"What is the reader trying to do when they reach this documentation?" Anchors docs in the reader's task
"Will this reader use this documentation to understand the code, to use the system, or to change it?" Determines the documentation type needed

Gate 1: Human has described the reader, their knowledge baseline, and their task. Do not begin interrogation without these.

Memory note: Record the reader description in SKILL_MEMORY.md.

2. The new engineer test

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.
