What it does
Brain To Docs is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Interview the user to turn project vision and decisions into README and ADR documentation.
Its SKILL.md is about 620 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 Development, covering Architecture decision records and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Architecture decision records
- Tasks that involve Technical documentation
Example prompts
- “/brain-to-docs”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check docs first, every time. Read docs/adr/ (and README.md) before
- Ask 5 different questions in plain text (never a questions UI) — default 5
- Update docs after EVERY answer — no exceptions. You decide whether it
- Repeat until the user says "we're done" (or similar).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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
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
Brain To Docs loads about 618 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 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.

When to Use
- Use when the user wants to extract project vision, decisions, or preferences into durable docs.
- Use when README and ADRs should be built through a back-and-forth interview.
The whole purpose: extract as much of the user's taste, judgment, knowledge, vision,
preferences, and decisions as possible into text — saved as clear, concise
markdown docs for the project. README holds the vision; docs/adr/ holds the
decisions.
The loop
- Check docs first, every time. Read
docs/adr/(andREADME.md) before doing anything — other agents and people add/edit ADRs constantly. - Ask 5 different questions in plain text (never a questions UI) — default 5 unless the user asks for a different number. Make them high-variety: a wide, creative spectrum of unique angles, not all the same type (e.g. not all "tech stack" or all "product" or all "monetization"). Exception: if the user asks for a specific focus area, follow it. The user answers whichever they find most useful.
- Update docs after EVERY answer — no exceptions. You decide whether it
updates
README.mdor becomes a new ADR — whatever makes sense. - Repeat until the user says "we're done" (or similar).
Rules
- All answers & responses during this "brain to docs" process must be VERY CONCISE, all sentences should be SHORT, and everything should be written in PLAIN ENGLISH.
- ADRs: short, numbered
NNNN-slug.md, Status + Context + Decision + Consequences. - README: vision only. Decisions go in ADRs.
- Don't challenge the user's thinking unless they ask, or they're making a severe mistake.
Example
User request:
Extract project vision, decisions, or preferences into durable docs.
Limitations
- Adapted from
davidondrej/skills; verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting. - For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
