What it does

Docs is an agent skill from guardana/guardana. Documentation work in this repo — the five places a user-visible change must answer, the page conventions the site build enforces, the tests that pin prose to the registry, and a simplification pass that makes a page shorter and truer without inventing a claim. Use for "update the docs", "the README is stale", "simplify this page", "add a usage page", or when /ship needs the five places answered.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Technical documentation and Prompt injection and agent security. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI security verification for model artifacts, live endpoints, MCP servers, and recorded agent traces. Reproducible evidence for release decisions. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Update the docs
  • The README is stale
  • Simplify this page
  • Add a usage page

Example prompts

  • “update the docs”
  • “the README is stale”
  • “simplify this page”
  • “/docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory with scout: size, last commit, which tests pin the page, which pages link to it.
  2. Mark, sentence by sentence: true and needed · true, belongs elsewhere (move it) ·
  3. Readability and wording are text-broker work (content-model): a rewrite comes back with
  4. Run the gates that will notice: uv run pytest packages/guardana-core/tests/test_docs_consistency.py…
  5. Report what got shorter (lines before / after), what was cut and why, what moved where.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae7ee8b. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Docs loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Documentation — shorter, truer, generated where it can be

Target: $ARGUMENTS

The five places, every user-visible change

wherewhen it needs an edit
CHANGELOG.md under [Unreleased]any user-visible change — say why, not only what
FEATURES.mda new capability, or one whose shape changed (a registry test refuses a built-in rule or evaluator missing from it)
docs/a new command gets usage-<command>.md; a changed one gets its page reconciled; docs/index.md lists it under the right heading
site/index.htmla headline claim moved: a count, a run mode, what the terminal demo prints
ROADMAP.mdthe direction moved — delete what shipped, add what was deferred with the reason

Then uv run python scripts/generate_docs.py for a rule, evaluator or taxonomy change — never edit docs/generated/ by hand — and the four --check scripts prove the site agrees.

What the build enforces

  • Every docs/**/*.md starts with front matter: title, nav_order (unique), summary, status (stable / beta / draft; design documents take the first word of their **Status:** line). A page missing any of them fails build_site.py.
  • Every page is listed in docs/index.md; the nav is built from that map and refuses a page it cannot reach. Only docs/work/ is left out — it is work in flight, not documentation.
  • Every local link points at a file that exists (test_docs_consistency.py); no page promises a version that already shipped (**v0.x, "coming in 0.x"); every count in prose equals the registry (test_docs_pages_state_the_real_counts.py, test_landing_page.py, test_readme_rule_table.py); the built site equals its sources (test_documentation_site.py).
  • A design document is named for its topic, never a date, carries a status line and is superseded rather than rewritten (docs/design/README.md).

A page that is easy to read

One page, one job, the answer first. A usage-*.md page says what the command does, the command to type, what it writes, its exit codes, then the options — in fenced blocks, never in prose. History, incidents and measurements belong in CHANGELOG.md or docs/maintainers/lessons.md, not on a user page: a user page that explains why a rule exists three times is a page nobody finishes. A sentence that a test could pin (a count, a flag, a path) is written so the test can find it; a sentence nothing can check is a claim to cut.

A simplification pass

  1. Inventory with scout: size, last commit, which tests pin the page, which pages link to it.
  2. Mark, sentence by sentence: true and needed · true, belongs elsewhere (move it) · untrue or unverifiable (fix or cut, with the evidence) · repeated (keep one copy).
  3. Readability and wording are text-broker work (content-model): a rewrite comes back with every path, flag, count, rule id and link byte-identical, and a verdict that CUTS a sentence needs both engines to agree. The facts stay yours: a model never changes a number.
  4. Run the gates that will notice: uv run pytest packages/guardana-core/tests/test_docs_consistency.py packages/guardana-core/tests/test_documentation_site.py -q and scripts/ci_local.sh --quiet before the commit.
  5. Report what got shorter (lines before / after), what was cut and why, what moved where.

The maintainer-facing pages (docs/maintainers/), CONTRIBUTING.md and CLAUDE.md follow the same rules; CLAUDE.md additionally has a line budget the setup gate enforces, and the story behind a rule goes to docs/maintainers/lessons.md.

Questions about Docs

What does Docs do?

Documentation work in this repo — the five places a user-visible change must answer, the page conventions the site build enforces, the tests that pin prose to the registry, and a simplification pass…. Docs is an agent skill from guardana/guardana. Documentation work in this repo — the five places a user-visible change must answer, the page conventions the site build enforces, the tests that pin prose to the registry, and a simplification pass that makes a page shorter and truer without inventing a claim.

When should I use Docs?

Docs fits situations like: update the docs; the README is stale; simplify this page; add a usage page.

How do I install Docs in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add guardana/guardana --skill docs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/docs in guardana/guardana) into .claude/skills/docs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Docs in Codex?

Run `npx skills add guardana/guardana --skill docs -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/docs in guardana/guardana) into .agents/skills/docs in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Docs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add guardana/guardana --skill docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/docs, .gemini/skills/docs, .github/skills/docs and .opencode/skills/docs in your project.

What does Docs need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Docs needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Docs access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Docs safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Docs use?

Docs is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Docs use?

About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Docs?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Docs: Forensify (alexgreensh/repo-forensics, 188 stars), Skylos Security (duriantaco/skylos, 843 stars), Agentic GitHub Actions Auditor (trailofbits/skills, 7.4k stars) and Plugin Scanner (iflytek/skillhub, 5.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Docs?

guardana (a GitHub organization) maintains it in guardana/guardana, which has 129 GitHub stars. The repository holds 16 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
