Source code and conversation context
You get back
MDX documentation files in content/docs/

  • Update API reference documentation
  • Generate a getting-started guide for a new library
  • Sync documentation with recent code changes

About this skill

You are creating proper markdown documentation for a module or feature in the library.

Read WRITING_STYLE.md first for tone, formatting conventions, and anti-patterns to avoid.

Your Task

  1. Identify the scope - Based on the conversation context, determine what module, feature, or file needs documentation. Ask the user if unclear.
  2. Read the source code - Understand the public API, types, and behavior
  3. Read existing docs - Check content/docs/ for documentation to update
  4. Write comprehensive documentation - Create or update MDX docs

Documentation Structure

This project uses Fumadocs for documentation. All docs live in content/docs/ as MDX files.

Where to Put Documentation

TypeLocationWhen to use
API Referencecontent/docs/api/<class>.mdxDocumenting a class like PDF, PDFPage, PDFForm
Feature Guidecontent/docs/guides/<feature>.mdxHow-to guides for features (forms, signatures, etc.)
Conceptcontent/docs/concepts/<topic>.mdxExplaining PDF concepts (structure, objects, etc.)
Getting Startedcontent/docs/getting-started/Installation and first steps

Navigation (meta.json)

Each directory has a meta.json that controls navigation order:

{
  "title": "API Reference",
  "pages": [
    "index",
    "---Classes---",
    "pdf",
    "pdf-page",
    "pdf-form",
    "annotations",
    "---Other---",
    "errors"
  ]
}
  • Use ---Label--- for section dividers
  • Order determines sidebar appearance

MDX File Format

---
title: ModuleName
description: Brief description for SEO and previews.

# ModuleName

Brief description of what this module does and when to use it.

<Callout type="warn" title="my title">
  Use callouts sparingly for important warnings or beta features.
</Callout>

## Quick Start

\`\`\`typescript
import { PDF } from "@libpdf/core";
// Minimal working example
\`\`\`

---

## methodName(options)

Description of what the method does.

| Param        | Type     | Default  | Description    |
| ------------ | -------- | -------- | -------------- |

| `[optional]` | `number` | `10`     | Optional param |

**Returns**: `ReturnType`

\`\`\`typescript
// Usage example
\`\`\`

Fumadocs Components

<Callout type="info">Informational note</Callout>
<Callout type="warn">Warning message</Callout>
<Callout type="error">Error/danger message</Callout>

Guidelines

See WRITING_STYLE.md for complete guidelines. Key points:

  • Tone: Direct, second-person, no emojis
  • Examples: Progressive complexity, all must be valid TypeScript
  • Tables: Use Sharp-style nested parameter tables (see WRITING_STYLE.md)
  • Callouts: Use sparingly for warnings, beta features, security
  • Cross-references: Link related docs, add "See Also" sections
  • Navigation: Update meta.json when adding new pages

Process

  1. Explore the code - Read source files to understand the API
  2. Check existing docs - Look in content/docs/ for related pages
  3. Identify the audience - Who will read this? What do they need?
  4. Draft the structure - Outline sections before writing
  5. Write content - Fill in each section with examples
  6. Update navigation - Add to relevant meta.json if new page
  7. Add cross-references - Link from related docs

Begin

Analyze the conversation context to determine the documentation scope, read the relevant source code, and create comprehensive MDX documentation in content/docs/.

When not to use it

  • When the documentation scope is unclear
  • When the writing style guidelines are not reviewed

Limitations

  • Requires adherence to WRITING_STYLE.md
  • Limited to Fumadocs structure

How it compares

This skill automates the creation of documentation by directly reading source code and enforcing project-specific MDX structures, rather than manual drafting.
