sc-document

name	sc-document
description	Generate focused documentation for components, functions, APIs, and features. Use when creating inline docs, API references, user guides, or technical documentation.

Documentation Generation Skill

Focused documentation for code, APIs, and features.

Quick Start

# Inline documentation
/sc:document src/auth/login.js --type inline

# API reference
/sc:document src/api --type api --style detailed

# User guide
/sc:document payment-module --type guide

Behavioral Flow

1. Analyze - Examine component structure and functionality
2. Identify - Determine documentation requirements and audience
3. Generate - Create appropriate documentation content
4. Format - Apply consistent structure and patterns
5. Integrate - Ensure compatibility with existing docs

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--type	string	inline	inline, external, api, guide
--style	string	detailed	brief, detailed

Evidence Requirements

This skill does NOT require hard evidence. Deliverables are:

• Generated documentation files
• Inline code comments
• API reference materials

Documentation Types

Inline (--type inline)

• Parameter and return descriptions
• Function-level comments

External (--type external)

• Standalone documentation files
• Component overviews
• Integration guides

API (--type api)

• Endpoint documentation
• Request/response schemas
• Usage examples

Guide (--type guide)

• User-focused tutorials
• Implementation patterns
• Common use cases

Style Options

Brief (--style brief)

• Concise descriptions
• Essential information only
• Quick reference format

Detailed (--style detailed)

• Comprehensive explanations
• Extended examples
• Edge case coverage

Examples

Inline Code Docs

/sc:document src/auth/login.js --type inline
# JSDoc with @param, @returns, @throws

API Reference

/sc:document src/api --type api --style detailed
# Full endpoint docs with examples

User Guide

/sc:document payment-module --type guide --style brief
# Quick-start tutorial with common patterns

Component Docs

/sc:document components/ --type external
# README.md for component library

MCP Integration

PAL MCP (Quality & Research)

Tool	When to Use	Purpose
mcp__pal__codereview	API docs	Review documentation accuracy
mcp__pal__apilookup	External APIs	Get current API documentation
mcp__pal__chat	Writing assistance	Get help with complex explanations
mcp__pal__consensus	Style decisions	Multi-model validation of doc approach

PAL Usage Patterns

# Verify documentation accuracy
mcp__pal__codereview(
    review_type="quick",
    step="Reviewing API documentation for accuracy",
    findings="Parameter descriptions, return types, examples",
    relevant_files=["/docs/api/auth.md"]
)

# Get current API docs for external integration
mcp__pal__apilookup(
    prompt="Get current Stripe API documentation for payment intents"
)

# Writing assistance for complex topics
mcp__pal__chat(
    prompt="Help me explain the OAuth2 authorization code flow clearly for developers",
    model="gpt-5.2"
)

Rube MCP (Publishing & Collaboration)

Tool	When to Use	Purpose
mcp__rube__RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS	Doc platforms	Find Notion, Confluence, GitBook
mcp__rube__RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL	Publishing	Push docs to platforms
mcp__rube__RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH	Bulk docs	Generate docs for large codebases

Rube Usage Patterns

# Publish documentation
mcp__rube__RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL(tools=[
    {"tool_slug": "NOTION_CREATE_PAGE", "arguments": {
        "title": "API Reference: Authentication",
        "content": "## Endpoints\n### POST /auth/login\n..."
    }},
    {"tool_slug": "CONFLUENCE_CREATE_PAGE", "arguments": {
        "space": "DEV",
        "title": "Auth API Documentation",
        "content": "..."
    }}
])

# Notify team of new docs
mcp__rube__RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL(tools=[
    {"tool_slug": "SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE", "arguments": {
        "channel": "#documentation",
        "text": "New API docs published: Authentication endpoints"
    }}
])

# Bulk generate docs
mcp__rube__RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH(
    thought="Generate JSDoc for all exported functions",
    code_to_execute='''
import os
# Process all JS files and generate documentation
# Use invoke_llm for each function
'''
)

Flags (Extended)

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--pal-review	bool	false	Use PAL to review doc accuracy
--publish	string	-	Publish via Rube (notion, confluence, gitbook)
--notify	string	-	Notify via Rube (slack, teams, email)
