I18n React Generate and maintain professional i18n documentation that stays in sync with your code. Overview This skill automates i18n react to keep documentation accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date. It understands i18n conventions and produces documentation that follows industry best practices. Documentation debt is one of the biggest productivity killers in software teams. This skill tackles it by generating initial documentation from code, maintaining it through automated updates, and ensuring consistency across the entire project. The output follows i18n best practices and is optimized for both human readability and search engine discoverability. It handles edge cases like deprecated APIs, multi-version documentation, and cross-referenced content. When to Use Activate this skill when the user needs to: Generate initial documentation for an undocumented codebase Update existing docs after code changes Set up a documentation site or system from scratch Convert documentation between formats Create API reference documentation from source code Build onboarding guides for new team members Core Capabilities Auto-Generation Scans source code to extract types, functions, classes, and their relationships. Generates structured documentation with descriptions, parameter tables, return types, and usage examples. Template System Provides customizable templates for different documentation types — API references, tutorials, how-to guides, and conceptual overviews. Templates follow the Diátaxis documentation framework. Cross-Referencing Automatically links related documentation pages, creates navigation structures, and maintains a consistent information architecture across the documentation site. Version Management Supports multi-version documentation, changelogs, and migration guides. Clearly marks deprecated features and provides upgrade paths. Example Prompts Users might ask: "Generate API documentation for the src/api directory" "Set up i18n for our project with a getting-started guide" "Create a migration guide from v2 to v3" "Add JSDoc comments to all exported functions in the utils module" "Build a searchable documentation site with i18n" Configuration ParameterDefaultDescription outputDir./docsDocumentation output directory formatJavaScriptOutput format (markdown, html, pdf) includePrivatefalseInclude private/internal APIs in docs themedefaultDocumentation theme Best Practices Document the why, not just the what — Code shows what it does; documentation should explain why it exists and when to use it Keep examples runnable — Every code example should be copy-pasteable and produce the expected output Use consistent terminology — Create a glossary and stick to it — inconsistent naming confuses readers Write for your audience — API references for developers, tutorials for beginners, architecture docs for architects Automate freshness checks — Run CI checks that flag documentation out of sync with code changes Common Pitfalls ⚠️ Generating docs once and never updating them — stale docs are worse than no docs ⚠️ Over-documenting obvious code — focus documentation effort on complex or surprising behavior ⚠️ Not including examples — abstract descriptions without concrete examples are rarely useful Output Format Generates complete documentation files in JavaScript format, with navigation, cross-references, and search indexes.
