What it does

Doc Scanner is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Scans for project documentation files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CURSOR.md, WARP.md, and 15+ other formats) and synthesizes guidance. Auto-activates when user asks to review, understand, or explore a codebase, when starting work in a new project, when asking about conventions or agents, or when documentation context would help. Can consolidate multiple platform docs into unified AGENTS.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `references/file-patterns.md`, `references/templates.md` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“Use the doc-scanner skill to scan for project documentation files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CURSOR.md, WARP.md, and 15+ other…”
“/doc-scanner”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Glob, Read, Write, Bash

Workflow steps

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

Scan for Documentation
Read All Found Files
Synthesize
Offer Consolidation
No Documentation Found

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Glob
- Read
- Write
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
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

Doc Scanner loads about 644 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 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: ~644
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Glob, Read, Write, Bash
```

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.

SKILL.md

Documentation Scanner

Scan for and synthesize project documentation.

When to Activate

User asks to review, understand, or explore a codebase
Starting work in a new/unfamiliar project
User asks about project conventions or workflows
Before making significant architectural decisions

Instructions

Step 1: Scan for Documentation

Use Glob to search project root:

AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AI.md, ASSISTANT.md,
GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CHATGPT.md, CODEIUM.md,
CURSOR.md, WINDSURF.md, VSCODE.md, JETBRAINS.md,
WARP.md, FIG.md, DEVCONTAINER.md, GITPOD.md

Step 2: Read All Found Files

Read complete contents of every documentation file found.

Step 3: Synthesize

Combine information into unified summary:

PROJECT DOCUMENTATION

Sources: [list files found]

RECOMMENDED AGENTS
  Primary: [agents for core work]
  Secondary: [agents for specific tasks]

KEY WORKFLOWS
  [consolidated workflows]

CONVENTIONS
  [code style, patterns]

QUICK COMMANDS
  [common commands]

Step 4: Offer Consolidation

If 2+ documentation files exist, offer to consolidate:

Create .doc-archive/ directory
Archive originals with date suffix
Generate unified AGENTS.md
Report what was consolidated

Step 5: No Documentation Found

If none found, offer to generate AGENTS.md based on:

Project structure and tech stack
Patterns observed in codebase

Priority Order

AGENTS.md (platform-agnostic)
CLAUDE.md (Claude-specific)
Other AI docs
IDE docs
Terminal docs

Additional Resources

For detailed patterns, load:

./references/file-patterns.md - Complete list of files to scan
./references/templates.md - AGENTS.md generation templates

When generating a NEW AGENTS.md, follow the entry-doc standard in rules/agentic-quality.md (Landmines section mandatory, ~150-line budget) — skeleton at the repo-doctor skill's assets/AGENTS-template.md. To AUDIT an existing doc set rather than generate one, hand off to repo-doctor.

Questions about Doc Scanner

What does Doc Scanner do?

Scans for project documentation files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CURSOR.md, WARP.md, and 15+ other formats) and synthesizes guidance. Doc Scanner is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace.md, and 15+ other formats) and synthesizes guidance.

When should I use Doc Scanner?

Doc Scanner fits situations like: explore a codebase; starting work in a new project; asking about conventions; documentation context would help.

How do I install Doc Scanner in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill doc-scanner -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/0xdarkmatter/doc-scanner in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .claude/skills/doc-scanner in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Doc Scanner in Codex?

Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill doc-scanner -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/0xdarkmatter/doc-scanner in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .agents/skills/doc-scanner in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Doc Scanner 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 aiskillstore/marketplace --skill doc-scanner -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/doc-scanner, .gemini/skills/doc-scanner, .github/skills/doc-scanner and .opencode/skills/doc-scanner in your project.

What does Doc Scanner need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Doc Scanner is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Glob, Read, Write, Bash.

Does Doc Scanner access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Doc Scanner safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. 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.

What licence does Doc Scanner use?

Doc Scanner is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Doc Scanner use?

About 644 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Doc Scanner?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Doc Scanner: Using Agent Skills (addyosmani/agent-skills, 102k stars), Claude Reflect (BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect, 1.7k stars), Neat-Freak Knowledge Closeout (KKKKhazix/khazix-skills, 21k stars) and Task Observer (rebelytics/one-skill-to-rule-them-all, 3.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Doc Scanner?

aiskillstore (a GitHub organization) maintains it in aiskillstore/marketplace, which has 430 GitHub stars. The repository holds 1,085 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
