What Document Code does

Document Code builds structured documentation for code entry points by analyzing dependencies and saving knowledge docs. Use it when asked to document, understand, or map a module, file, folder, function, or API.

Document Code is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Document Code comes from a repository tagged agent-framework, agent-skills, ai, ai-agents and ai-coding.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Code Documentation Assistant

Build structured understanding of code entry points with an analysis-first workflow.

Hard Rule

Do not create documentation until the entry point is validated and analysis is complete.

Workflow

Gather & Validate

Confirm entry point (file, folder, function, API), purpose, and desired depth.
Verify it exists; resolve ambiguity or suggest alternatives if not found.
Search for existing knowledge before analyzing: npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query "<entry point name or purpose>"

Collect Source Context

Summarize purpose, exports, key patterns.
Folders: list structure, highlight key modules.
Functions/APIs: capture signature, parameters, return values, error handling.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
