What problem does it solve?

It helps you create accurate, consistently formatted IPA documentation guides by turning a topic and workflow into a fully structured guide that matches the Guide Format Standard.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guide creation from real codebase context: Produces a nine-section guide template populated by researching the existing codebase, including skill files, CloudFormation templates, and .env configuration.
• Update or create with overlap prevention: Detects whether a guide already exists for the requested topic and switches to update mode to avoid duplicates.
• Verification-focused drafting: Ensures every guide includes a Verification section and only includes Troubleshooting when known failure modes are provided.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant to write a guide for the workflow name you want documented, and include any specific goal, prerequisites, before/target state, and verification expectations you already know.
