FAQPage Schema

How do I keep product documentation in sync with my codebase?▼

Centralize documentation in your repository's README and bundle it into the application at build time. This keeps docs as a single source of truth, automatically synced with code changes and accessible in-app via CMD-I without manual updates.

Can I render Markdown and diagrams inside my application?▼

Yes. This Skill renders README and Markdown files with syntax highlighting and displays Mermaid diagrams (sequence, state, flow) in a modal viewer directly in-app, making visual documentation immediately accessible to developers and product managers.

What's the best way to document complex flows and system architecture in code?▼

Use Mermaid diagrams alongside your codebase documentation to visualize complex flows and sequences. Link diagrams to code structure in your README, then bundle them for in-app viewing so teams see architecture and logic without leaving the application.

How do I make documentation discoverable for my team without external tools?▼

Store all documentation in the repository root README with Mermaid diagrams and Markdown formatting, then enable in-app access through CMD-I. This centralizes discovery in a single location teams already use, reducing tool switching.

Does this work with existing README-driven documentation workflows?▼

Yes. The Skill treats your root README as the authoritative documentation source, rendering it with rich formatting and bundling it at build time. It integrates seamlessly into README-driven workflows without requiring format changes.

What content formats can I include in in-app documentation?▼

You can include Markdown with syntax highlighting for formatted text and code, plus Mermaid diagrams for visual flows and sequences. Both formats render directly in-app with proper styling and interactivity.
