What it does
Documentation is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive documentation specialist covering API documentation, technical writing, design documentation, migration guides, and changelog generation. Use when creating OpenAPI/Swagger specs, generating SDKs, writing user guides, creating README files, documenting architecture, writing design specs, creating ADRs, writing migration guides, or generating changelogs from git commits. Handles versioning, examples, developer experience, and user-facing documentation.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/CHANGELOG.template.md`, `references/api-docs.md` and `references/api-documentation.template.md`).
It sits in Development, covering OpenAPI specifications, Technical writing and Changelog and release notes. It works with OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it

Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- OpenAPI Specs: Creates complete OpenAPI 3.0/Swagger specifications
- SDK Generation: Generates client libraries and SDKs
- Interactive Docs: Creates Postman collections and interactive docs
- Versioning: Manages API versioning and migration guides
- Code Examples: Provides examples in multiple languages
- Developer Guides: Writes authentication and integration guides
- User Guides: Creates step-by-step user guides with clear instructions
- Tutorials: Writes progressive tutorials that build knowledge
- README Files: Creates comprehensive README files with badges and sections
- Architecture Docs: Documents system architecture and design decisions
- Code Documentation: Writes clear code comments and inline docs
- Content Organization: Structures content with clear headings and flow
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 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 yaml and markdown).
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
Documentation loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 978 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.
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 978 words (~2,733 tokens).
“This skill provides comprehensive documentation capabilities including API documentation, technical writing, changelog generation, and developer guides. It covers everything from OpenAPI specifications to user-facing changelogs.”

Documentation is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive documentation specialist covering API documentation, technical writing, design documentation, migration guides, and changelog generation.
When should I use Documentation?
Documentation fits situations like: creating OpenAPI/Swagger specs; generating SDKs; writing user guides; creating README files.
How do I install Documentation in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill documentation -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/89jobrien/documentation in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .claude/skills/documentation in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Documentation in Codex?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill documentation -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/89jobrien/documentation in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .agents/skills/documentation in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Documentation 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 documentation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/documentation, .gemini/skills/documentation, .github/skills/documentation and .opencode/skills/documentation in your project.
What does Documentation need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Documentation is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js.
Does Documentation 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 Documentation 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 Documentation use?
No licence was found for Documentation or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Documentation use?
About 2.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k 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 10k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
