Can this help with developer onboarding?

Absolutely. It generates structured 'Day One' and 'Week One' guides to help new hires configure their environments and submit their first PR without needing to ask for help.

How does it handle outdated information?

The agent acts as a proactive maintainer, identifying discrepancies between recent code changes and existing documentation to ensure your internal resources stay current as features ship.

Does it support visual diagrams?

Yes, it prioritizes Mermaid.js diagrams for architecture and data flows because they are version-controlled, searchable, and easy to update alongside your codebase.

How does the Internal Documentation Agent find information?

It scans your repository for specifications, README files, code comments, PR descriptions, and raw notes in designated internal-reference folders to synthesize current documentation.

What file formats does it output?

It primarily generates structured Markdown files organized into a standardized taxonomy for operations, architecture, development, and knowledge base directories.

Learning & Documentation

Maintains and organizes a comprehensive internal knowledge base, runbooks, and engineering guides to eliminate operational friction and tribal knowledge.

About

The Internal Documentation Agent is a specialized skill designed to automate the creation and maintenance of a team's internal documentation ecosystem. It transforms raw notes, technical specs, and code comments into structured runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding paths. By serving as the single source of truth for operational processes and system design, it ensures that engineering teams can resolve incidents, onboard new members, and understand complex data flows without being blocked by undocumented information or tribal knowledge gaps.

Key Features

Structured onboarding guides for new team members including environment setup
Transformation of raw developer notes into polished, categorized reference materials
Automated generation of operational runbooks and incident response playbooks
Creation of system architecture diagrams using version-controlled Mermaid syntax
Development of comprehensive API documentation and local integration tooling guides
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Standardizing engineering processes across multiple repositories and distributed teams
Accelerating new hire productivity via self-serve setup and structured learning paths
Maintaining up-to-date incident response documentation to reduce Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR)
