What it does
Writing 40ants Doc Documentation is an agent skill from ultralisp/ultralisp. Use when creating or updating documentation for Common Lisp projects that use (or should use) the 40ants-doc system with docs-builder for README, changelog, and HTML site generation. Apply when a project has no docs, has markdown/rst files that should be migrated to 40ants-doc, or when build-docs produces XREF warnings or "source location not found" errors.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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 Changelog and release notes and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: The software behind a Ultralisp.org Common Lisp repository.
When your agent uses it
- Updating documentation for Common Lisp projects that use (or should use) the 40ants-doc system with docs-builder for README
- HTML site generation
Example prompts
- “source location not found”
- “/writing-40ants-doc-documentation”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=$(pwd)/ .qlot/bin/build-docs project-docs.
- Confirm the command exits 0 and the final log line is Done.
- Confirm there are no warning/error lines, in particular
- Confirm the generated files changed as expected via
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3439788. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
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.
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
Writing 40ants Doc Documentation loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,027 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 1,027 words (~2,671 tokens).
“40ants-doc generates README.md, ChangeLog.md, and HTML documentation from Lisp source files. Each documentation project has its own ASDF system, with content defined via defsection, defchangelog, and defautodoc macros.”
