Write effective documentation including inline docs, README structure, API documentation, and code comments. Use when writing README files, documenting APIs, creating architecture decision records, adding inline code documentation, or setting up documentation tooling.

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

> **Purpose**: Write clear, maintainable documentation for code and APIs. 
> **Goal**: Self-documenting code, useful comments, comprehensive READMEs. 
> **Note**: For implementation, see [C# Development](../../languages/csharp/SKILL.md) or [Python Development](../../languages/python/SKILL.md).

## When to Use This Skill

- Writing or updating README files
- Documenting APIs with OpenAPI/Swagger
- Creating architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Adding inline code documentation
- Setting up documentation tooling

## Prerequisites

- Markdown formatting knowledge

## Decision Tree

```
Documenting something?
+- New project/repo? -> README.md (setup, usage, contributing)
+- Public API?
| +- REST API -> OpenAPI/Swagger spec
| - Library -> XML docs / docstrings on all public members
+- Architecture decision? -> ADR (docs/artifacts/adr/ADR-NNN.md)
+- Complex logic?
| +- WHY it works this way -> Code comment
| - HOW to use it -> Doc comment / docstring
+- Code self-explanatory?
| - Yes -> No comment needed (good naming > comments)
- Inline comment?
 +- Explains WHY (business rule, workaround) -> Keep it
 - Explains WHAT (obvious from code) -> Remove it
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/documentation@sha256:1e48fd0e6a75c00c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
