Use when user invokes /docgen to generate or update documentation. Also triggers on "generate docs", "update the README", "write the changelog". Accepts a doc type (readme, api, architecture, changelog) and optional scope. Always outputs to conversation first and asks before writing to disk. Do NOT use for explaining code behavior — use /explain instead.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Documentation Generator ## Overview Generate or update project documentation from the codebase — READMEs, API references, architecture overviews, and changelogs. Designed to produce accurate, non-padded docs that match the project's existing style. **Core principles:** 1. **Generate to conversation first.** Never write a file without asking. Always: "Want me to write this to [path]?" 2. **Preserve manual content.** If a doc already exists, identify what's outdated vs. what to keep. Don't blow away prose that was written by hand. 3. **Detect existing style.** Match the formatting, heading levels, and tone of existing docs in the project. 4. **No filler.** Omit empty or generic sections rather than padding them with boilerplate. ## Invocation Examples ``` /docgen readme # generate or update project README /docgen readme src/auth/ # README for a subdirectory or package /docgen api src/routes/ # API endpoint documentation /docgen architecture # architecture overview from codebase structure /docgen changelog v0.2.0..v0.3.0 # changelog from git history for a version range ``` …

How to install
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/docgen@sha256:fe655d33172df22dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260310.2fcaf7f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
