Creates human-friendly documentation from AI context documentation.

  • Works in 3 steps: Parallel Structure Maintained → Three Human-Friendly Formats → Mermaid Diagram Guidelines
  • Users need to quickly understand complex systems
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When to Use This Skill, Core Principles and Workflows, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Human Docs is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Creates human-friendly documentation from AI context documentation. Transforms detailed AI documentation in ai/ folder into digestible summaries, quick starts, and visual diagrams in docs/ folder. Use when users need to quickly understand complex systems or when AI documentation is too detailed for human consumption. Specializes in Mermaid diagrams, executive summaries, and quick reference guides.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `README.md`, `assets/templates/diagrams_template.md` and `assets/templates/quickstart_template.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams and Summarization. It works with Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Users need to quickly understand complex systems
  • AI documentation is too detailed for human consumption

Example prompts

  • “Use the human-docs skill to create human-friendly documentation from AI context documentation”
  • “/human-docs”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parallel Structure Maintained
  2. Three Human-Friendly Formats
  3. Mermaid Diagram Guidelines

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and mermaid).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Human Docs loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 593 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 593 words (~2,583 tokens).

“This skill transforms detailed AI documentation stored in ai/ folder into human-friendly documentation in docs/ folder. It creates summaries, quick starts, and visual diagrams that enable humans to quickly understand and operate complex systems.”
