doc-scanner
Scans for project documentation files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CURSOR.md, WARP.md, and 15+ other formats) and synthesizes guidance. Auto-activates when user asks to review, understand, or explore a codebase, when starting work in a new project, when asking about conventions or agents, or when documentation context would help. Can consolidate multiple platform docs into unified AGENTS.md.
Best use case
doc-scanner is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Can consolidate multiple platform docs into unified AGENTS.md.
Teams using doc-scanner 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.

# Documentation Scanner Scan for and synthesize project documentation. ## When to Activate - User asks to review, understand, or explore a codebase - Starting work in a new/unfamiliar project - User asks about project conventions or workflows - Before making significant architectural decisions ## Instructions ### Step 1: Scan for Documentation Use Glob to search project root: ``` AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AI.md, ASSISTANT.md, GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CHATGPT.md, CODEIUM.md, CURSOR.md, WINDSURF.md, VSCODE.md, JETBRAINS.md, WARP.md, FIG.md, DEVCONTAINER.md, GITPOD.md ``` ### Step 2: Read All Found Files Read complete contents of every documentation file found. ### Step 3: Synthesize Combine information into unified summary: ``` PROJECT DOCUMENTATION Sources: [list files found] RECOMMENDED AGENTS Primary: [agents for core work] Secondary: [agents for specific tasks] KEY WORKFLOWS [consolidated workflows] CONVENTIONS [code style, patterns] QUICK COMMANDS [common commands] ``` ### Step 4: Offer Consolidation If 2+ documentation files exist, offer to consolidate: 1. Create `.doc-archive/` directory 2. Archive originals with date suffix 3. Generate unified AGENTS.md 4. Report what was consolidated ### Step 5: No Documentation Found If none found, offer to generate AGENTS.md based on: - Project structure and tech stack - Patterns observed in codebase ## Priority Order 1. AGENTS.md (platform-agnostic) 2. CLAUDE.md (Claude-specific) 3. Other AI docs 4. IDE docs 5. Terminal docs ## Additional Resources For detailed patterns, load: - `./references/file-patterns.md` - Complete list of files to scan - `./references/templates.md` - AGENTS.md generation templates
