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
- Identify the scope - Based on the conversation context, determine what module, feature, or file needs documentation. Ask the user if unclear.
- Read the source code - Understand the public API, types, and behavior
- Read existing docs - Check
content/docs/for documentation to update - 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
| Type | Location | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| API Reference | content/docs/api/<class>.mdx | Documenting a class like PDF, PDFPage, PDFForm |
| Feature Guide | content/docs/guides/<feature>.mdx | How-to guides for features (forms, signatures, etc.) |
| Concept | content/docs/concepts/<topic>.mdx | Explaining PDF concepts (structure, objects, etc.) |
| Getting Started | content/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 |
| ------------ | -------- | -------- | -------------- |
| `param` | `string` | required | What it does |
| `[optional]` | `number` | `10` | Optional param |
**Returns**: `ReturnType`
\`\`\`typescript
// Usage example
\`\`\`

## Types
### TypeName
\`\`\`typescript
interface TypeName {
property: string;
}

<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.jsonwhen adding new pages
Process
- Explore the code - Read source files to understand the API
- Check existing docs - Look in
content/docs/for related pages - Identify the audience - Who will read this? What do they need?
- Draft the structure - Outline sections before writing
- Write content - Fill in each section with examples
- Update navigation - Add to relevant
meta.jsonif new page - 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.
