docs-manager

docs-manager is a skill for Claude Code from sequenzia/agent-alchemy. It costs 63 tokens per session (4,024 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating or updating software documentation, such as an MkDocs website or standalone Markdown files. It covers discovering the scope, examining the project, planning the content, writing it, and checking the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create or update READMEs, contribution guides, documentation sites, standalone Markdown files, and documentation change summaries.
Why use it?
Documentation work can miss the project context, required sections, or final validation. This process gives those tasks explicit stages.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

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-manager 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 7d 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.

Documentation Manager Workflow

Execute a structured 6-phase workflow for managing documentation. Supports two documentation formats (MkDocs sites and standalone markdown files) and three action types (generate, update, change summary).

CRITICAL: Complete ALL applicable phases. Some phases are conditional. After completing each phase, immediately proceed to the next phase without waiting for user prompts.

Phase Overview

Execute these phases in order, completing ALL of them:

  1. Interactive Discovery — Determine documentation type, format, and scope through user interaction
  2. Project Detection & Setup — Detect project context, conditionally scaffold MkDocs
  3. Codebase Analysis — Deep codebase exploration using the deep-analysis skill
  4. Documentation Planning — Translate analysis findings into a concrete plan for user approval
  5. Documentation Generation — Launch docs-writer agents to generate content
  6. Integration & Finalization — Write files, validate, present results

Phase 1: Interactive Discovery

Goal: Determine through user interaction what documentation to create and in what format.

Step 1 — Infer intent from $ARGUMENTS

Parse the user's input to pre-fill selections:

  • Keywords like "README", "CONTRIBUTING", "ARCHITECTURE" → infer basic-markdown
  • Keywords like "mkdocs", "docs site", "documentation site" → infer mkdocs
  • Keywords like "changelog", "release notes", "what changed" → infer change-summary

If the intent is clear, present a summary for quick confirmation before proceeding (skip to Step 4). If ambiguous, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2 — Q1: Documentation type

If the documentation type is ambiguous or needs confirmation, use AskUserQuestion:

What type of documentation would you like to create?
1. "MkDocs documentation site" — Full docs site with mkdocs.yml, Material theme
2. "Basic markdown files" — Standalone files like README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, ARCHITECTURE.md
3. "Change summary" — Changelog, release notes, commit message

What ships with it

3 files 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.
