Scaffold project documentation (README, ARCHITECTURE, API, CODE_COMMENTS) from templates with documented standards. Use when bootstrapping docs for a new or under-documented codebase.
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
# Codebase Documenter Generate documentation scaffolding for a project that has none, or has the wrong shape. This skill produces structured starters with bracketed placeholders the team fills in.

How to install
mdr add rjmurillo/ai-agents/codebase-documenter@sha256:95691304ec4b95f3The 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.
