SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate clear, up-to-date documentation for a codebase by turning code into reference docs, feature guides, and full documentation sites.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework-aware: detects common docs frameworks (Fumadocs, Nextra, Docusaurus, etc.) and outputs in the correct format.
  • Flexible scope: generate docs for a specific file, a feature, or the entire project.
  • Parallel-site generation: for full-site docs, coordinates multiple agents to write sections in parallel.

Quick Start

Use the document skill to generate documentation for a given file or feature by providing a path or description.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate documentation for a specific codebase file or feature?

Generate documentation for a codebase by providing a file path or feature description, and the tool analyzes source files to produce tailored reference docs or feature guides. It adapts formatting to your detected documentation framework.

Can I use this to generate a full documentation site for my entire project?

Yes, you can generate a full documentation site for an entire project. The tool coordinates multiple agents to write different sections in parallel, producing framework-specific sidebars and a proper index for the complete site.

Does it support Docusaurus, Nextra, and Fumadocs for framework detection?

Yes, framework detection supports common documentation frameworks like Docusaurus, Nextra, and Fumadocs. It automatically identifies your framework and outputs documentation in the correct corresponding format.

What is the best way to turn code into reference docs and feature guides?

Turn code into reference docs by analyzing source files through automated generation, which outputs structured feature guides and reference materials. Audience tailoring ensures the generated content matches your target readers.

Can I tailor the generated documentation for different audiences?

Yes, documentation generation includes audience tailoring to match the technical level of your target readers. It adjusts the output reference docs and feature guides to suit the specific audience you need.

How does parallel-site generation work for full project documentation?

Parallel-site generation works by coordinating multiple agents to write separate documentation sections simultaneously. This accelerates full-site docs creation for a codebase while maintaining proper formatting and an integrated index.
