Codebase Documenter

If you've ever stared at an undocumented codebase wondering where to start, this is the skill to reach for. It gives you templates for READMEs, architecture docs, API documentation, and inline comments, all structured around making code accessible to newcomers. The approach is solid: explain the "why" before the "what", use progressive disclosure, and get people to a working state in under five minutes. What I appreciate is how opinionated it is about things like testing your setup instructions and documenting edge cases instead of obvious code. It won't write your docs for you, but it'll give you a proven structure so you're not reinventing documentation patterns every time.
