generating-database-documentation

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: business-ops  ·  Last updated:
This skill enables Claude to automatically generate comprehensive documentation for existing database schemas using the database-documentation-gen plugin. It is triggered when the user requests database documentation, ERD diagrams, or a data dictionary. The plugin supports multiple database engines and generates documentation that includes ERD diagrams, table relationships, column descriptions, indexes, triggers, stored procedures, and interactive HTML documentation. Use this skill when you need to document existing database schemas for team onboarding, architectural reviews, or data governance purposes. The trigger terms include "database documentation", "ERD diagram", "data dictionary", and `/db-docs`.

What this skill does

generating-database-documentation is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the business-ops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/database-documentation-gen/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
