Can I use this for existing projects?

Absolutely. It analyzes existing project structures (such as package.json, Cargo.toml, or requirements.txt) to gather context before writing.

Does it replace my current README?

The skill prefers updating and improving your existing README over creating new files, ensuring your project history and existing content are preserved.

How does it ensure the documentation is accurate?

The skill spawns a specialized @writer agent that reads your actual source code to verify that all commands and examples are copy-paste ready and correct.

Does it support visual diagrams?

Yes, it can create architecture diagrams in either ASCII for maximum portability or Mermaid format for visual rendering on platforms like GitHub.

What types of documentation can this skill create?

It can generate comprehensive README files, detailed API documentation, and system architecture diagrams based on your specific project needs.
