Parameters

Document Types

Languages

Core Principles

• Codebase-Driven: Analyze actual code to generate accurate documentation
• Multi-Language: Full support for multiple languages with proper terminology
• Structured Output: Follow professional document templates and standards
• Actionable Content: Include concrete recommendations and next steps
• Stakeholder-Ready: Produce documents ready for review and distribution

Phase 1: Discovery

Goal: Understand what document needs to be generated

Actions:

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract:
   • --lang parameter (default: en)
   • --type parameter (default: assessment)
   • --format parameter (default: markdown)
   • Remaining text as the document objective/description
2. Create todo list with all phases
3. If document objective is unclear, ask user for:
   • What is the purpose of this document?
   • Who is the target audience?
   • What specific areas should be covered?
   • Any constraints or requirements?
4. Summarize understanding and confirm with user

Phase 2: Codebase Analysis

Goal: Gather relevant information from the codebase

Actions:

1. Use the Task tool to launch an explorer agent to analyze the codebase

   Agent Selection by Project Type:

   • Java/Spring Boot: developer-kit:spring-boot-backend-development-expert
   • TypeScript/NestJS: developer-kit:nestjs-backend-development-expert
   • TypeScript/General: developer-kit:general-code-explorer
   • React: developer-kit:react-frontend-development-expert
   • General: developer-kit:general-code-explorer

   Example Task Tool Usage:

   Task(
     description: "Analyze codebase for document generation",
     prompt: "Analyze the codebase structure, architecture, patterns, and relevant details for generating a [document-type] document about [objective]. Return a comprehensive summary with file references.",
     subagent_type: "developer-kit:general-code-explorer"
   )
   

2. Based on document type, gather specific information:

   For Assessment Documents:

   • Code quality metrics
   • Architecture patterns
   • Security configurations
   • Performance characteristics
   • Test coverage
   • Dependencies and versions

   For Feature Documents:

   • Existing similar features
   • Technical constraints
   • Integration points
   • Current architecture

   For Analysis Documents:

   • Relevant code sections
   • Configuration files
   • Documentation gaps
   • Patterns and anti-patterns

   For Process Documents:

   • Existing workflows
   • Automation scripts
   • CI/CD configurations
   • Deployment procedures

3. Read all identified key files to build deep understanding

4. Document findings and patterns discovered

Phase 3: Content Planning

Goal: Define document structure and content outline

Actions:

1. Select appropriate template based on --type:

   • assessment: Assessment Document Template
   • feature: Feature Specification Template
   • analysis: Analysis Document Template
   • process: Process Document Template
   • custom: User-defined or hybrid template

2. Create detailed outline with:

   • Main sections and subsections
   • Key points for each section
   • Required diagrams and visuals
   • Code examples to include

3. Use AskUserQuestion tool to present outline and get approval:

   • Show proposed document structure
   • Highlight key sections
   • Ask if any sections should be added/removed
   • Confirm target audience and depth

Phase 4: Document Generation

Goal: Generate the complete document

Actions:

1. Use the Task tool to launch the document generator agent:

   Task(
     description: "Generate [document-type] document",
     prompt: "Generate a comprehensive [document-type] document in [language] about [objective]. 
     
     Context gathered:
     [Include codebase analysis findings]
     
     Document outline:
     [Include approved outline]
     
     Requirements:
     - Language: [--lang value]
     - Format: [--format value]
     - Audience: [identified audience]
     
     Generate the complete document following the template structure.",
     subagent_type: "developer-kit:document-generator-expert"
   )
   

2. For specialized document types, also invoke domain experts:

   Security Assessment:

   • Primary: developer-kit:document-generator-expert
   • Support: developer-kit:java-security-expert or developer-kit:typescript-security-expert

   Architecture Analysis:

   • Primary: developer-kit:document-generator-expert
   • Support: developer-kit:java-software-architect-review or developer-kit:typescript-software-architect-review

   Feature Specification:

   • Primary: developer-kit:document-generator-expert
   • Support: developer-kit:general-software-architect

3. Generate document content section by section

4. Include diagrams using Mermaid format

5. Add code examples with proper syntax highlighting

6. Apply language-specific terminology consistently

Phase 5: Review and Refinement

Goal: Ensure document quality and completeness

Actions:

1. Review generated document for:

   • Completeness of all required sections
   • Accuracy of technical content
   • Consistency in terminology and style
   • Appropriate depth for target audience
   • Language correctness

2. Use AskUserQuestion tool to present draft:

   • Show complete document
   • Ask for feedback on each major section
   • Confirm technical accuracy
   • Request any additions or modifications

3. Apply requested changes

4. Add cross-references and links

5. Generate table of contents if needed

Phase 6: Output and Summary

Goal: Deliver final document and summary

Actions:

1. Save document to appropriate location:

   • Default: docs/[document-type]-[timestamp].md
   • Or user-specified location

2. Generate summary:

   • Document type and purpose
   • Key findings/content highlights
   • Sections included
   • Next steps or recommendations

3. Mark all todos complete
