Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Code Documentation Assistant Build structured understanding of code entry points with an analysis-first workflow. ## Hard Rule - Do not create documentation until the entry point is validated and analysis is complete. ## Workflow 1. Gather & Validate - Confirm entry point (file, folder, function, API), purpose, and desired depth. - Verify it exists; resolve ambiguity or suggest alternatives if not found. - Search for existing knowledge before analyzing: `npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query "<entry point name or purpose>"` 2. Collect Source Context - Summarize purpose, exports, key patterns. - Folders: list structure, highlight key modules. - Functions/APIs: capture signature, parameters, return values, error handling. 3. Analyze Dependencies - Build dependency view up to depth 3, track visited nodes to avoid loops. - Categorize: imports, function calls, services, external packages. - Exclude external systems or generated code. 4. Synthesize - Overview (purpose, language, high-level behavior). - Core logic, execution flow, patterns. - Error handling, performance, security considerations. - Improvements or risks discovered during analysis. 5. Create Documentation - Normalize

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill document-code --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From codeaholicguy/ai-devkit, a repository with 1,572 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
