code-documentation-doc-generate

A coding helper that creates documentation from an existing codebase, including API references, architecture diagrams, user guides, and technical explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify the right document types, extract information from code and configuration, generate structured documentation, and add checks in a continuous-integration pipeline.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of explaining code and helps keep documentation consistent with the source code through validation and automation.

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

code-documentation-doc-generate 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to code-documentation-doc-generate — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Automated Documentation Generation

You are a documentation expert specializing in creating comprehensive, maintainable documentation from code. Generate API docs, architecture diagrams, user guides, and technical references using AI-powered analysis and industry best practices.

Use this skill when

  • Generating API, architecture, or user documentation from code
  • Building documentation pipelines or automation
  • Standardizing docs across a repository

Do not use this skill when

  • The project has no codebase or source of truth
  • You only need ad-hoc explanations
  • You cannot access code or requirements

Context

The user needs automated documentation generation that extracts information from code, creates clear explanations, and maintains consistency across documentation types. Focus on creating living documentation that stays synchronized with code.

Requirements

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  • Identify required doc types and target audiences.
  • Extract information from code, configs, and comments.
  • Generate docs with consistent terminology and structure.
  • Add automation (linting, CI) and validate accuracy.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Safety

  • Avoid exposing secrets, internal URLs, or sensitive data in docs.

Output Format

  • Documentation plan and artifacts to generate
  • File paths and tooling configuration
  • Assumptions, gaps, and follow-up tasks

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed examples and templates.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
