name	doc-scanner
description	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.

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:

1. Create .doc-archive/ directory
2. Archive originals with date suffix
3. Generate unified AGENTS.md
4. 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

1. AGENTS.md (platform-agnostic)
2. CLAUDE.md (Claude-specific)
3. Other AI docs
4. IDE docs
5. 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.
