Safety notes
This is a curated index of existing directory entries; the collection runs nothing itself - review each linked hook and command's own safety notes before installing it.
Privacy notes
The collection handles no data on its own; consult each linked entry's privacy notes for its runtime behavior and any local or network access.

## What this collection sets up

A documentation-automation workflow that keeps docs accurate as the code changes, organized around the [Diataxis](https://diataxis.fr/) documentation framework (tutorials, how-to guides, reference, explanation). Each piece is an existing, source-backed directory entry; together they generate, measure, validate, and publish documentation.

## Workflow stages

### 1. Generate

- **documentation-generator** (hook) — generates and updates docs from code comments.
- **api-endpoint-documentation-generator** (hook) — documents API endpoints (reference docs).

### 2. Measure and validate

- **documentation-coverage-checker** (hook) — measures documentation coverage and flags missing docs.
- **readme-refresh-validator** (hook) — checks the README for Install/Usage sections and documents the package CLI surface.
- **markdown-link-checker** (hook) — flags broken links in docs and READMEs.
- **documentation-auto-generator-on-stop** (hook) — refreshes docs at session end so they do not drift.

### 3. Explain and publish

- **explain** (command) — produces clear explanations of code (explanation docs).
- **docs** (command) — drafts and updates project documentation.
- **mintlify-docs** (command) — formats and publishes docs to a Mintlify site.

## Suggested order

Generate the reference docs from code first, then measure coverage and validate the README and links, then keep them fresh at session end, and finally use the explanation and publishing commands. See `installationOrder` for the exact sequence.

## Notes

Each entry carries its own prerequisites, safety notes, and privacy notes — read them before enabling a hook that writes documentation or a command that publishes to an external docs site.

Safety notesThis is a curated index of existing directory entries; the collection runs nothing itself - review each linked hook and command's own safety notes before installing it.Generated documentation is a draft; verify examples, flags, endpoints, and behavior against the actual source before publishing. Do not let the command invent supported options, output formats, API fields, or guarantees that are not present in the code or official docs. If you add dynamic shell injection or allowed tools to the command file, scope those permissions narrowly because the command can run local commands.Runs automatically after write or edit tool calls on route, controller, and API files. Invokes npx swagger-jsdoc or npx jsdoc to generate docs; executes python -m pydoc for Python files. Writes generated documentation files to ./docs/api/ in the project directory.Runs automatically after write/edit tool use and may invoke local documentation generators such as npx jsdoc, jsdoc2md, typedoc, pdoc, pydoc, go doc, or cargo doc. Can write generated documentation under ./docs and may be slow on large source files or projects with expensive documentation tooling.
Privacy notesThe collection handles no data on its own; consult each linked entry's privacy notes for its runtime behavior and any local or network access.The target source files, existing docs, examples, error messages, and command arguments may be sent into the model context. Do not include private API keys, customer records, unreleased roadmap details, or production logs in generated examples.Receives Claude Code hook input (session metadata, file paths, and tool output) and reads local project files; review what the script logs or forwards to external services and keep credentials out of its output.Reads modified source, README, Markdown, and package metadata files to count comments, links, functions, classes, and documentation sections. Generated documentation may include source comments, API details, project names, and README content from the local workspace.
Prerequisites
  • A project with source code and a README to document.
  • Claude Code with hooks enabled for the generation and validation guards.
