mk-docs
Kit skill docs (full text inlined from .claude/skills/docs/SKILL.md). Relative paths it mentions (references/, scripts/, bin/, assets/) resolve from .claude/skills/docs/. Where it says to invoke another /mk-* skill, read .kiro/skills/<that-skill>/SKILL.md.
Argument hint: init|update|summarize
Request / arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Documentation Management
Analyze codebase and manage project documentation through scouting, analysis, and structured doc generation.
IMPORTANT: Invoke "/mk-project-organization" skill to organize the outputs.
Default (No Arguments)
If invoked without arguments, use AskUserQuestion to present available documentation operations:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
init |
Analyze codebase & create initial docs |
update |
Analyze changes & update docs |
summarize |
Quick codebase summary |
Present as options via AskUserQuestion with header "Documentation Operation", question "What would you like to do?".
Subcommands
| Subcommand | Reference | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
/mk-docs init |
references/init-workflow.md |
Analyze codebase and create initial documentation |
/mk-docs update |
references/update-workflow.md |
Analyze codebase and update existing documentation |
/mk-docs summarize |
references/summarize-workflow.md |
Quick analysis and update of codebase summary |
When another workflow needs to decide whether docs should change, load
references/documentation-management.md before invoking a docs update.
Routing
Parse $ARGUMENTS first word:

Shared Context
Documentation lives in ./docs directory:
./docs
├── project-overview-pdr.md
├── code-standards.md
├── codebase-summary.md
├── design-guidelines.md
├── deployment-guide.md
├── system-architecture.md
└── project-roadmap.md
Use docs/ directory as the source of truth for documentation.
When authoring or refreshing diagrams in system-architecture.md, use the archify skill for publish-grade output: validated architecture / workflow / sequence / dataflow / lifecycle diagrams delivered as self-contained interactive HTML (dark/light themes, PNG/SVG export). Author a small typed JSON spec, then node .claude/skills/archify/bin/archify.mjs deliver <type> <spec.json> <output.html>. For quick inline sketches, plain mermaid code fences in markdown are fine.
Embedding a diagram inside the Markdown doc. The delivered HTML does not render inside a .md file — GitHub, VS Code preview, MkDocs and Obsidian all strip <script>/<style>, so an iframe or raw HTML embed shows nothing and the reader has to open a separate file. Export a standalone SVG instead and reference it as a normal image:
node .claude/skills/archify/bin/archify.mjs deliver architecture spec.json docs/diagrams/x.html
node .claude/skills/archify/bin/to-svg.mjs docs/diagrams/x.html docs/diagrams/x.svg

The SVG keeps the theme the HTML was delivered in, renders inline everywhere, and stays diffable in git. Ship both when the diagram benefits from the viewer: the SVG inline for reading, plus a line linking the HTML for the interactive version (guided views, present mode, export). The SVG drops that interactive chrome by design — it is the diagram only.
IMPORTANT: Do not start implementing code.
