## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install code-documentation@claude-code-workflows

## When to use it
- 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
- generate documentation for the `auth` module
- explain what this file does and add comments
- build a tutorial for our API from `src/api`
