Generate and maintain documentation with drift detection. An agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo.

  • The user asks to write/update/refresh docs
  • Calls npx
  • Detect doc drift against code
  • Schedule recurring documentation maintenance

What it does

Doc Gen is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Generate and maintain documentation with drift detection. Use when the user asks to write/update/refresh docs, detect doc drift against code, or schedule recurring documentation maintenance.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering GitOps. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to write/update/refresh docs
  • Detect doc drift against code
  • Schedule recurring documentation maintenance

Example prompts

  • “/doc-gen”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(npx *), mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_worker-dispatch, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store, CronCreate, Read, Write

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6051f67. 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:

    • Bash(npx *)
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_worker-dispatch
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store
    • CronCreate
    • Read
    • Write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Doc Gen loads about 271 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 69 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~271

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.

argument-hint
[--target PATH]

Generate docs via MCP worker dispatch: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_worker-dispatch({ trigger: "document" })

For continuous doc maintenance via CronCreate: CronCreate({ schedule: "0 */2 * * *", prompt: "Run document worker" })

Detect drift by comparing current code against existing docs and flagging inconsistencies.

Scoped generation:

  • API docs: npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks worker dispatch --trigger document --scope api
  • Full project: npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks worker dispatch --trigger document --scope full

Store the approach: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store({ key: "doc-pattern", value: "APPROACH", namespace: "patterns" })
