FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a README and docs folder by analyzing my source code?▼

To generate a README and docs folder, this Skill analyzes your source code to bootstrap a centralized documentation hub and topic files. It automatically structures domain-specific guides and a gotchas directory to facilitate project onboarding.

Can I auto-generate project documentation for any programming language or framework?▼

Yes, you can auto-generate project documentation across any language or framework. The bootstrap workflow relies on SKILL.md metadata to analyze the codebase and produce navigable documentation hubs regardless of the underlying technology stack.

What is the best way to bootstrap documentation for a project with outdated docs?▼

The best way to bootstrap outdated documentation is using an automated code-analysis workflow. It scans your existing source code to rebuild the README hub and update domain-specific docs, ensuring your documentation aligns with the current codebase state.

How do I align auto-generated project documentation with specific business goals?▼

You align project documentation with business goals by integrating the bootstrap workflow with init-mission. This optional mission-context integration tailors the generated README hub and domain-specific docs to match your strategic objectives.

Does the generated documentation hub include a section for project gotchas?▼

Yes, the generated documentation hub includes a dedicated gotchas structure. By analyzing source code, it automatically populates this section to guide development and onboarding by highlighting subsystem-specific pitfalls and edge cases.
