Generation Process

Step 1: Read Source File

Load the agent/skill/prompt/instruction file.

Step 2: Extract Key Information

• Name and description from frontmatter
• Behaviors and rules from body
• Examples if present
• Related items (skills, handoffs)

Step 3: Enhance with Context

• Generate additional examples based on purpose
• Identify related items from the ecosystem
• Add tips based on common patterns

Step 4: Format Output

Apply appropriate template based on item type.

Quality Guidelines

Generated documentation should be:

1. Clear - No jargon without explanation
2. Practical - Real, actionable examples
3. Complete - Covers all key aspects
4. Concise - No unnecessary padding
5. Current - Reflects actual file contents

Additional Examples

When generating examples beyond those in the source:

• Cover different use case variations
• Show edge cases and how they're handled
• Demonstrate integration with other items
• Illustrate common mistakes to avoid
