What it does

Developer Docs Planning is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Plan developer documentation by choosing content types, defining scope, making documentation decisions, researching features, planning scenarios, and turning user needs into a practical documentation plan. Use when planning READMEs, getting-started guides, concepts, tutorials, how-to guides, API references, troubleshooting docs, changelogs, release notes, Agile docs work, or multi-doc launch plans.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `guidelines.md`, `references/core/knowledge.md` and `workflows/create-doc-plan.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Technical writing and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning READMEs
  • Getting-started guides
  • Troubleshooting docs
  • Agile docs work

Example prompts

  • “/developer-docs-planning”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load guidelines.md to choose the smallest useful reference set.
  2. Confirm user goal, audience, product surface, and release context.
  3. Choose content types by user task, not by internal org structure.
  4. Use workflows/create-doc-plan.md for a full plan.
  5. Use the specialized workflows when the task is a decision, research pass, scenario plan, or Agile integration.
  6. Output an outline with doc type, purpose, owner, source of truth, dependencies, and validation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • link.springer.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Developer Docs Planning loads about 913 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 364 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~913
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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.

Developer Docs Planning

Use this skill to decide what developer documentation to create before drafting. It maps user needs to content types, scope, outline, ownership, release context, research work, and decision records.

This skill is derived from Docs for Developers: An Engineer's Field Guide to Technical Writing, especially Chapter 2, "Planning your documentation." It is expanded with paraphrased guidance from Christopher Gales and the Splunk Documentation Team's The Product Is Docs: Writing Technical Documentation in a Product Development Group, especially Chapter 2, "Agile," Chapter 6, "Documentation Decisions," Chapter 13, "Research for Technical Writers," Chapter 14, "Scenario-driven Information Development," and Chapter 22, "Working with Product Management." Do not copy book prose into user outputs. Source: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-7217-6

Quick Start

  1. Load guidelines.md to choose the smallest useful reference set.
  2. Confirm user goal, audience, product surface, and release context.
  3. Choose content types by user task, not by internal org structure.
  4. Use workflows/create-doc-plan.md for a full plan.
  5. Use the specialized workflows when the task is a decision, research pass, scenario plan, or Agile integration.
  6. Output an outline with doc type, purpose, owner, source of truth, dependencies, and validation.

Default Output

When planning documentation, return:

  1. Audience and goal - who the docs serve and what they must accomplish.
  2. Content type decisions - recommended docs and why each belongs.
  3. Documentation outline - pages or sections with purpose and ordering.
  4. Decision or research basis - known evidence, assumptions, and unresolved questions.
  5. Source-of-truth map - code, API schema, product owner, support data, or design source.
  6. Release and review plan - owners, approvals, and timing.
  7. Open questions - decisions blocking accurate docs.

Route by taskguidelines.md

Core Posture

  • Let user tasks choose the content type.
  • Keep each doc anchored to one primary goal.
  • Treat plans as lightweight engineering artifacts, not ceremony.
  • Expose decisions, assumptions, and source gaps early.
  • If the documentation plan feels like a maze, consider whether the product or information architecture is too complex.
