FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-generate onboarding documentation for a new codebase?▼

To generate onboarding guides, this skill crawls a repository to inventory key files and synthesizes a fresh ONBOARDING.md at the repo root for new contributors.

What is the best way to document project structure and setup steps for contributors?▼

Documenting project structure and setup steps is handled by reconstructing the mental model from code, writing a readable onboarding guide that details contribution patterns.

Can I regenerate an existing ONBOARDING.md file after code changes?▼

You can regenerate an existing ONBOARDING.md by running the tool again; it overwrites the current file at the repository root with a living reference refreshed from current code.

Does generating onboarding guides from a repository leak secrets or sensitive files?▼

Generating onboarding guides actively avoids leaking secrets; the tool orchestrates a deterministic inventory pass and reads key files to synthesize documentation without exposing sensitive data.

Do I need to manually write contributor guides when onboarding new developers?▼

Writing contributor guides manually is unnecessary; the tool automates inventory passes and file reading to produce a living reference documenting the codebase for new contributors.
