Overview

Two Primary Capabilities

1. Greenfield Documentation: Create professional documentation from templates for new projects
2. Brownfield Documentation: Reverse-engineer documentation from existing codebases

PDA Architecture (54% Token Reduction)

This skill uses **Progressive Disclosure Architecture** to minimize token consumption while maintaining full functionality:

• Core (Auto-loaded): SKILL.md (~2,500 tokens) - Routing, execution logic, and quick start
• On-demand: Workflow guides, templates, mappings (~10,000 tokens, loaded selectively)

**Typical Token Load**: 2,500 tokens (just SKILL.md) to 5,000 tokens (with workflow) = **44-72% reduction vs v1.0**
