What code-documentation does

code-documentation covers three jobs: documentation generation, code explanation and technical writing. It also handles automated doc generation and tutorial creation.

Install goes through the wshobson/agents marketplace. Add the marketplace first, then install the plugin from the claude-code-workflows set. The plugin is published by Seth Hobson under the MIT license.

Make sure Claude is open and the marketplace is reachable — without adding wshobson/agents, the install command won't find the package. Codex and Cursor are listed as supported platforms, but no install commands are given for them, so you wire it up by hand there.

What it helps with

document an unfamiliar module before refactoring
build a README from existing code
explain how a function works to a teammate
write a tutorial for an internal API
prepare technical copy for a release

Example prompts for the agent

generate documentation for the auth module
explain what this file does and add comments
