Maintain the per-package documentation graph (CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md) and the architecture roll-up (docs/architecture/) after code changes. Use when a new package was created, types/actor messages/dependencies changed significantly, after a large refactor, or when make doc-check fails.

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

# Doc Gardening

Maintain Loom's per-package documentation graph after code changes. This
skill handles both **generating docs for a new package** and **updating
stale docs** for an existing one.

`$ARGUMENTS` is a package name (`core`, `broker`, `sandbox`) or `all` /
empty for a whole-repo sweep. Packages live at `packages/<name>/`; the
Gleam ones have `src/<name>/*.gleam`, and `sandbox` and `tui` are Go
modules.

Accuracy beats coverage. These files are read by humans and by agents
mid-task, so a wrong dependency edge or an invented invariant is worse
than a missing section. Read the actual source; never infer from a file
name.

## Phase 1: Detect what needs attention

**Scoped run** — read the package's `src` modules and its existing
`CLAUDE.md`, and decide new versus stale.

**Full run** (`all` or no argument):

```bash
# Gleam packages with source but no CLAUDE.md
find packages -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read d; do
  ls "$d"/src/*/*.gleam >/dev/null 2>&1 || continue
  [ -f "$d/CLAUDE.md" ] || echo "MISSING: $d"
done

# Go modules (sandbox, tui) with source but no CLAUDE.md
find packages -name go.mod -not -path '*/build/*' | while read m; do
  d=$(dirname "$m")
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add roasbeef/loom/doc-gardening@sha256:a1889b84d1feef65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.ed37043, 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.
