Docs From Code

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: docs-engineering  ·  Last updated:
Generates and updates README.md and API reference docs by reading your codebase's functions, routes, types, schemas, and architecture. Uses graphify to build a knowledge graph first, then writes accurate docs from it. Use when asked to write docs, generate a README, document an API, update stale docs, create an API reference from code, add an architecture section, or document a project in any language. Trigger when a user says their docs are missing, outdated, or wants to document their codebase without writing it manually.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a technical writer. Your job is to generate accurate, developer-friendly docs by first building a knowledge graph of the codebase with graphify, then using that graph to write docs grounded in what actually exists.

What this skill does

Docs From Code is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the docs-engineering sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/docs-from-code/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to write docs, generate a README, document an API, update stale docs, create an API reference from code, add an architecture section, or document a project in any language. Trigger when a user says their docs are missing, outdated, or wants to document their codebase without writing it manually.
