This Skill helps you turn unfamiliar or changing code into clear, accurate documentation so users and maintainers don’t have to guess how the project works.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documentation Generation: Create README files from codebase analysis, generate API documentation from source code, and write getting started and configuration reference sections with consistent structure.
  • Code Comments & API Descriptions: Add JSDoc/TypeDoc-style annotations, write inline comments for complex logic, and produce module-level documentation and type documentation.
  • Guides & Ongoing Maintenance: Draft setup, troubleshooting, and migration guides; identify outdated docs; and flag where examples need to be updated to match API changes.

Quick Start

Ask Docs Writer to generate a complete README and API reference for your project from its current source files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a README from source code?

To generate a README from source code, the tool analyzes repository files to extract signatures, parameters, and types. It then produces structured documentation artifacts including setup guides and configuration references for project onboarding.

How do I write API documentation from existing code?

Writing API documentation from existing code requires extracting function signatures, parameters, return values, and error cases. It generates clear endpoint or module-level references, adding JSDoc or TypeDoc-style annotations to describe the API behavior accurately.

Can I use this to generate JSDoc annotations automatically?

Yes, you can generate JSDoc-style annotations automatically. The tool adds inline comments for complex logic and produces module-level type documentation by analyzing the extracted code structure and types directly from your source files.

What is the best way to write migration guides for API changes?

The best way to write migration guides for API changes is to analyze the updated code to identify breaking changes and outdated documentation. It then drafts clear step-by-step instructions and flags where examples need updates to match the new API.

Does this tool work for updating outdated documentation?

Yes, this tool works for updating outdated documentation during maintenance. It identifies outdated docs, flags examples needing updates to match API changes, and rewrites configuration references to reflect current code logic accurately.
