documentation-templates

documentation-templates is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from phuonghx/aim-cli. It costs 82 tokens per session (972 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of starting templates and writing guidelines for common project documents. It covers files such as READMEs, API references, code comments, changelogs, decision records, and agent-readable configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when documenting a new project, describing API endpoints, recording technical decisions, updating a changelog, or preparing files for both developers and coding agents.
Why use it?
It removes the uncertainty of what information belongs in each document and gives developers a consistent structure to adapt.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is - [API reference](./docs/api.md).

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

documentation-templates 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.

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.

The layouts below are scaffolds. Drop in your project's specifics and prune whatever doesn't apply — a template that survives untouched usually means it wasn't read.

The README

Sections, in the order readers want them

A reader scanning a new repo asks a predictable sequence of questions. Order the sections to answer them in that order:

Section The question it answers
Name + tagline What even is this?
Quick start How do I run it in five minutes?
Features What can it actually do?
Configuration How do I tune it?
API reference Where are the details?
Contributing How do I pitch in?
License What am I allowed to do?
