codebase-documenter

To generate architecture documentation for an unfamiliar codebase, this Skill analyzes the project file tree, source files, and manifests to produce high-level architecture explanations, mermaid diagrams, and key component overviews automatically.

Creating developer onboarding guides for an existing repository involves synthesizing setup, testing, and deployment instructions into structured documents like DEVELOPMENT.md, which this Skill generates by extracting code examples and metadata from your source files.

Yes, you can automatically generate mermaid diagrams for data flow and codebase architecture by having the Skill analyze your repository's execution paths and module structures to synthesize visual flow descriptions.

Yes, you need access to the project file tree, including README files, manifests, and source files, because the Skill requires this access to extract metadata and synthesize accurate architecture and developer guidelines.

Creating API and deployment docs for services and libraries requires access to project manifests, source files, and existing README files, which the Skill uses to extract code examples and synthesize step-by-step developer instructions.
