Two related workflows for a locally-cloned codebase, in one skill. Documentation mode produces a single, comprehensive, verifiable architecture document primarily by reading files on disk (local-first) — use it whenever the user wants to understand, map, document, research, or onboard onto a codebase ("research this repo", "write up the architecture", "do an architecture deep dive", "document how this codebase works", "map the system design", "create an onboarding doc"). Modernization mode…

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 & Modernization

Two complementary workflows for a repository the user already has checked out
locally, bundled as one skill:

- **Documentation mode** — produce one definitive, cited architecture document
  from the code on disk. Ideal for onboarding, system-design maps, or as the
  evidence base for a modernization effort.
- **Modernization mode** — turn that architecture into a phased, safety-laddered
  plan to upgrade, migrate, or rewrite a legacy system.

## Mode selection

- If the user wants to **understand, document, map, research, or onboard onto** a
  codebase, run **Documentation mode**.
- If the user wants to **modernize, migrate, upgrade, or rewrite** a system, run
  **Modernization mode**. Modernization mode is self-sufficient: if no
  architecture document exists yet, it runs the **Documentation mode** workflow
  first (in the same pass), then continues straight through to the plan.

When in doubt, produce the architecture document first — it is the audited
evidence base both modes rely on.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add okhp3/skillz/doc-and-modernize@sha256:a1b5ff3752fa95d1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.866dec6, 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.
