What problem does it solve?
codedocs turns an existing codebase into structured, AI-agent-friendly documentation so developers and agents can quickly understand architecture, modules, and how to work with the repo—without repeatedly reading source code.
Core Features & Use Cases
- AI-agent-ready docs output: Produces a consistent
docs/ tree (OVERVIEW.md, INDEX.md, modules/, patterns/, and a .codedocs.json manifest).
- Docs-first Q&A: Answers questions by routing to the most relevant documentation files first, then falling back to source only when necessary.
- Incremental updates: Refreshes only the changed parts using
codedocs:update, including targeted scope updates and git-diff-driven updates.
- Coverage + staleness awareness: Verifies documentation coverage before planning and tracks when modules became stale.
Quick Start
Use the codedocs skill to generate structured documentation for AbsolutelySkilled by telling your AI coding agent: “Run codedocs:generate for this repository and write the output to docs/.”
