What is the primary purpose of the Docent skill?

Docent is designed to create a structured 'knowledge base' within your project that helps AI agents like Claude better understand your architecture, decisions, and progress.

Does Docent track my personal development logs?

While Docent provides a journals/ directory for work logs, the bootstrap process automatically configures a .gitignore to ensure personal or ephemeral data isn't committed to version control.

Can I customize the documentation templates?

Yes, Docent creates a templates/ directory where you can add or override default templates for ADRs, project updates, and other documentation types.

How do I initialize Docent in my project?

You can run the docent bootstrap command to automatically create the .docent/ directory, configuration files, and initial documentation scaffolding.

Why should I use Docent with Claude Code?

Claude Code performs better when it has access to structured context. Docent provides a standardized way to feed that context to Claude at the start of every session.

Initializes a structured documentation intelligence framework and knowledge base for AI-augmented development.

关于

Docent streamlines the way developers and AI agents interact with project knowledge by establishing a standardized .docent/ directory structure. It provides the necessary scaffolding for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), RFCs, work journals, and session logs, ensuring that Claude and other AI tools operate within a high-context environment. By automating the setup of search paths, templates, and agent initialization instructions, this skill helps maintain project continuity and technical documentation standards across the entire development lifecycle.
