docs
Dispatch docs subagent to audit, generate, and validate documentation against the codebase.
Best use case
docs is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Dispatch docs subagent to audit, generate, and validate documentation against the codebase.
Teams using docs should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# /docs — Documentation Generation Audit existing documentation, identify gaps, generate what's missing, and validate every claim against actual code. Can be invoked standalone or as part of `/work`. ## When to Use - Codebase has undocumented modules, APIs, or workflows - Existing documentation is stale or references removed features - A wish deliverable includes documentation - After significant code changes that invalidate existing docs - After `/work` completes — suggest `/docs` to document what changed ## Documentation Surfaces Audit and maintain these doc types: | Type | Location | Purpose | |------|----------|---------| | **README** | `README.md`, `*/README.md` | Project/module overview, setup, usage | | **CLAUDE.md** | `CLAUDE.md`, `*/CLAUDE.md` | Project conventions, commands, gotchas for AI agents | | **API docs** | `docs/api/`, inline JSDoc/TSDoc | Endpoint contracts, request/response schemas | | **Architecture** | `docs/architecture.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md` | System design, data flow, component relationships | | **Inline docs** | JSDoc, TSDoc, docstrings | Function/class/module-level documentation | **CLAUDE.md is a first-class documentation surface.** When the codebase changes significantly (new commands, changed conventions, removed features), flag CLAUDE.md for update. CLAUDE.md should always reflect the current state of the project. ## Flow 1. **Audit existing docs:** scan all documentation surfaces above — map what exists. 2. **Identify gaps:** compare documentation against actual code — find what's missing, outdated, or wrong. Pay special attention to CLAUDE.md accuracy. 3. **Generate:** write documentation to fill the gaps, matching project conventions. 4. **Validate against code:** verify every claim — file paths exist, APIs match, behaviors are accurate. 5. **Report:** return list of created/updated files with validation results. ## Dispatch ```bash # Spawn a docs subagent genie spawn docs ``` ## Rules - Validate every claim against actual code — no fiction. - No dead references — every path, function, and API mentioned must exist in the codebase. - Match existing project conventions for documentation style and structure. - Never document features that don't exist yet. - Include validation evidence in the report — not just "docs written" but "docs written and verified."
