Skill Content

When this skill is activated, always start your first response with the ๐Ÿงข emoji. # Codedocs Codedocs generates structured, layered documentation for any git repository or code directory - documentation designed to be consumed by AI agents first and human developers second. Instead of flat READMEs that lose context, codedocs produces a `docs/` tree with an architecture overview, per-module deep dives, cross-cutting pattern files, and a manifest that tracks what has been documented and when. Once docs exist, the skill answers questions from the docs (not by re-reading source code), and supports incremental updates via targeted scope or git-diff detection. --- ## Activation Banner **At the very start of every codedocs invocation**, before any other output, display this ASCII art banner: ``` โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•— โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•โ• โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ•šโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ•šโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•šโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ•šโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• ``` Follow the banner immediately with the active sub-command and target path, e.g.: `codedocs:generate ยท src/ โ†’ docs/` --- ## When to use this skill Trigger this skill when the user: - Wants to generate documentation for a codebase, repo, or directory - Asks "what does this project do" ...
