When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

• Generate a project README with installation, usage, and contributing sections
• Create API documentation from code or OpenAPI specs
• Write developer onboarding or setup guides
• Build user manuals or quick-start tutorials
• Structure documentation for a new or existing project
• Generate a CHANGELOG from commit history or release notes

How to use this skill

Workflow

1. Identify the doc type - README, API reference, user guide, developer guide, or changelog
2. Gather context - Read the codebase, existing docs, and project structure
3. Generate documentation - Use the templates and patterns below
4. Validate - Ensure all code examples run, links resolve, and sections are complete

README Template

const client = new MyClient({ apiKey: process.env.API_KEY });
const result = await client.query('hello');
\`\`\`

API Documentation Pattern (OpenAPI)

paths:
  /users/{id}:
    get:
      summary: Get user by ID
      parameters:
        - name: id
          in: path
          required: true
          schema:
            type: string
      responses:
        '200':
          description: User found
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/User'
        '404':
          description: User not found

Best Practices

1. Start with a quick-start - Let readers get running in under 2 minutes
2. Include runnable code examples - Every API endpoint or function should have a copy-paste example
3. Keep docs next to code - Co-locate documentation with the source it describes
4. Use consistent structure - Follow the same heading hierarchy across all doc pages
5. Version your docs - Tag documentation alongside code releases
