Can I customize the documentation for different team members?

Yes, the skill allows you to tailor the output depth based on the audience, such as focusing on setup guardrails for juniors or operational concerns for seniors.

How do I keep the generated documentation from becoming outdated?

The recommended workflow is to treat onboarding docs as living assets by running the analyzer and updating documentation within the same PR as any architectural or behavior changes.

Does this skill provide templates for the documentation?

Absolutely. It includes standardized onboarding and output format templates to ensure consistent documentation across all your repositories.

How does the Codebase Onboarding skill analyze my project?
