Write codebase documentation: READMEs, architecture docs, getting-started guides, API docs, and code comments. Use when documenting code or making a project easier for new developers.

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

Create comprehensive, beginner-friendly documentation for any codebase.

## When to Use

**Use for:**

- Writing or updating README files
- Creating architecture documentation
- Adding meaningful code comments
- Documenting APIs and endpoints
- Creating getting-started guides
- Explaining project structure

**Don't use when:**

- Code review → use `generic-code-reviewer`
- UX design decisions → use `generic-ux-designer`
- Adding code features → use `generic-feature-developer`

## Core Principles

1. **Start with "Why"** - Explain purpose before implementation
2. **Progressive Disclosure** - Simple to complex
3. **Provide Context** - Why code exists, not just what it does
4. **Include Examples** - Concrete usage for every concept
5. **Assume No Prior Knowledge** - Define terms, avoid jargon
6. **Visual Aids** - Diagrams, file trees, flowcharts
7. **Quick Wins** - Get something running in 5 minutes

## Documentation Workflow

1. **Analyze** - Entry points, dependencies, core concepts, configuration
2. **Choose Type** - README → Architecture → API → Comments
3. **Generate** - Use templates, customize for project

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add travisjneuman/.claude/codebase-documenter@sha256:c27162c10b358818

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.b133e15, 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.
