Does it automatically save changes to my codebase?

No. Docgen follows a 'conversation-first' principle. It will always present the generated documentation in the chat and ask for your explicit permission before writing or editing any files.

Will docgen overwrite my manual edits in existing files?

No. The skill is programmed to identify sections that look manually written and preserve them, only updating stale or mechanical sections like dependency lists or API tables.

How does it handle changelog generation?

It analyzes your git commit history, filters out noise like 'fixup' or 'WIP' commits, and groups changes by conventional commit types (feat, fix, refactor) to create a readable summary.

Can I generate documentation for a specific module instead of the whole project?

Yes, you can provide an optional scope path (e.g., /docgen api src/routes/) to focus the documentation generation on a specific subdirectory or package.

Gestión de Contenido

Generates and updates project READMEs, API references, architecture overviews, and changelogs by analyzing codebase structure and git history.

The docgen skill automates the tedious task of maintaining project documentation by intelligently extracting context from your source code, configuration files, and commit history. It supports multiple documentation types—from high-level architecture overviews to granular API endpoint tables—while ensuring that manually written prose is preserved and existing project styles are matched. Designed for safety and accuracy, it presents all updates in the conversation for review before making any changes to your local files.
