update-fb-docsRegenerate the machine-owned parts of the function block docs from the PLCopen export, scaffold a page for a new function block, and check whether the docs still match the code.
Update Fb Docs is an agent skill from MichielVanwelsenaere/HomeAutomation.CoDeSys3. Regenerate the machine-owned parts of the function block docs from the PLCopen export, scaffold a page for a new function block, and check whether the docs still match the code. Use when a function block's inputs, outputs or methods change, when src/Exports/PLCopen.xml is re-exported, when a new function block is added, when a doc page looks wrong or out of date, or when asked to verify that the docs agree with the CODESYS project.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/gen_fb_docs.py`).
It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Home Automation system build in CoDeSys 3 with MQTT communication to any third party Home Automation software. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 924c3da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3gitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Update Fb Docs loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 957 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/update-fb-docs/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.The mechanical parts of docs/FunctionBlocks/*.md are generated from
src/Exports/PLCopen.xml, so they cannot drift from the code they document.
Two regions per page are machine-owned — never hand-edit inside them:
<!-- fb-badge:start --> the MQTT Discovery badge, if the block has one
<!-- fb-badge:end -->
<!-- fb-interface:start --> block diagram, inputs, outputs, methods
<!-- fb-interface:end -->docs/AdditionalFunctionality/MQTT_General.md has a third, <!-- gvl:start -->,
holding the GVL_MQTT global variable list.
Everything else — General, callouts, MQTT behaviour tables, code examples, wiring — is hand-written and left alone.
Run from the repo root. On Windows use py rather than python3: the python.org
build that winget installs ships no python3.exe, and the bare name hits the
Microsoft Store alias instead. ./tools/ai/codesys.ps1 doctor reports whether a
usable interpreter is present, and the codesys-loop skill has the install
command.
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Regenerate everything | python3 .claude/skills/update-fb-docs/scripts/gen_fb_docs.py |
| Check without writing | python3 .claude/skills/update-fb-docs/scripts/gen_fb_docs.py --check |
| Scaffold a new page | python3 .claude/skills/update-fb-docs/scripts/gen_fb_docs.py --new FB_NAME |
| Preview one block | python3 .claude/skills/update-fb-docs/scripts/gen_fb_docs.py --print FB_NAME |
--check exits non-zero and names what is stale. Use it to answer "do the docs
still match the code?" without touching the working tree.
Only 2% of pins carry <documentation> in the export, so descriptions cannot be
generated. The generated region is their store. Each run rebuilds the
structure from the export and carries existing descriptions across by name:
_TODO: describe this._, so gaps are obviousTwo mechanisms cut the amount of hand-writing, both in the script:
GLOSSARY — descriptions for things that mean the same on every block
(pMqttPublishQueue, Device, Invert, DeviceClass…). A page-specific
description always wins. This is why a new function block is already
documented for all its standard MQTT plumbing the moment it is scaffolded.
Key an entry Method.param to scope it, or param to apply anywhere.*, so one VALVE_* entry
covers VALVE_1 … VALVE_8.Confirm the export is current. The script reads PLCopen.xml, not the
.project binary. If someone changed a block in CODESYS without re-exporting,
the output reflects the export:
git log -1 --format=%cd -- src/Exports/PLCopen.xml src/HomeAutomation.project
If the export is behind, say so and stop — regenerating would bake in stale
pins. Re-exporting is a manual CODESYS step (see docs/CONTRIBUTING.md).
Run the generator, or --check first if only a report is wanted.
Deal with what it reports.
MISSING DESCRIPTIONS — write them, or add the term to GLOSSARY if it
recurs across blocks.ORPHANED — a page has a generated region for a block no longer in the
export. Establish which happened before advising: a deliberate removal, or
an export taken without the block. Check whether the call sites still
reference it — a declared instance points at a bad export, commented-out
call sites point at a real removal. Nothing is deleted automatically.HA YAML on a discovery-capable block — blocks that publish discovery
configs do not need the hand-written YAML fallback; it is schema-volatile
and drifts. Remove the ### **Home Assistant YAML** section.SCAFFOLD DRIFT — see below. Not fixed automatically, and it fails
--check.Verify. Re-run with --check; it should pass. Confirm nothing outside
the markers moved: git diff -- docs/.
tools/ai/scaffold/*.json build applications inside the binary — the DALI
verification device is one program, one GVL and one task, none of which can be
read without opening CODESYS. Those specs are the only readable record of how
that was assembled, so this generator also checks that they still describe what
is there, and fails --check when they do not.
It is a subset test: every declaration and every statement in a fragment must still be present in the object it builds. That catches a rename — the failure mode — without failing on the GVL fragments, which are appends by design. Declarations are compared by name and type rather than as text, because the export carries no plaintext declaration for a program, only structured XML.
Two things follow from that:
Why it exists: a project-wide rename carried Dimmer into these fragments and
missed DaliMaster, so the committed recipe named an instance the project no
longer had. No build, no verify and no check noticed, because nothing compiles
or imports these files. It surfaced when somebody asked whether the folder was
meant to be checked in at all.
python3 .claude/skills/update-fb-docs/scripts/gen_fb_docs.py --new FB_NEW_THINGThis writes a complete page: badge, block diagram, interface tables and method
tables, with standard parameters already described from the glossary. Fill in
the General section, the code example, and any remaining _TODO_ rows.
The export carries no access specifier, so "public API" and "implementation
detail" cannot be told apart automatically. Internal helpers are listed in
HIDDEN_METHODS in the script. A new method is deliberately not hidden by
default — it appears with a TODO so the author has to decide: describe it, or
add it to HIDDEN_METHODS with a comment saying why.
ORPHANED and leaves
them alone. Nothing is in that state today; FB_OUTPUT_DIMMER_DALI_MQTT was,
until WagoAppDALI was installed and the block came back into the project.docs/_drawio/.© MichielVanwelsenaere, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Update Fb Docs needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3 and git). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Update Fb Docs is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
