What documentation-templates does

The skill includes starting formats for a README, individual API endpoints, JSDoc/TSDoc comments, a changelog, and architecture decision records. Its README outline covers project purpose, setup, configuration, and documentation links. Endpoint entries have slots for parameters, response cases, and a request example. Comment guidance distinguishes explanations of complex behavior or API contracts from comments that merely restate the code.

A separate section covers llms.txt and documentation prepared for RAG indexing. It recommends a clear heading hierarchy, JSON/YAML samples, Mermaid diagrams, and sections that make sense on their own. Treat the formats as starting points and adapt them to the project. The skill is allowed to use Read, Glob, and Grep, so its listed tools support inspecting and searching files, not writing them.

What it helps with

  • draft a README outline with setup and configuration sections
  • document an API endpoint with parameters and response cases
  • add comments for complex logic and API contracts
  • record a project change or architecture decision
  • prepare documentation for AI retrieval and RAG indexing

Example prompts for the agent

  • Draft a README outline for this project using the skill's format.
  • Document these API endpoints with parameters, response cases, and request examples.
  • Review the code comments and suggest where behavior needs explanation and where a comment repeats the code.
