SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Documentation tends to drift from code, making it hard for new contributors to understand APIs, behavior, and design decisions. This skill automates the creation, formatting, and validation of docstrings, API specs, JSDoc, and developer guides to keep docs aligned with code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate docstrings for functions/classes across languages (Python, TypeScript) and maintain OpenAPI/Swagger specs.
  • Validate documentation against code examples and tests, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
  • Produce ready-to-publish documentation sites and tutorials from existing codebases.

Quick Start

Run the skill against a codebase to generate and validate documentation artifacts for all public interfaces.
