# Documentation Skill

Generate/update README/API/architecture docs from the actual implementation rather than inventing behavior.

## Subagents
When you need to delegate sub‑tasks, use the `pi-subagents` skill.

**Example:** For a new feature, assign a **scout** to extract API signatures from the `service` module, another **scout** to gather usage examples from the `cli` package, and an **implementer** to generate the corresponding README and API docs sections simultaneously.

*You may adapt the delegation pattern to fit the exact requirements of the codebase.*

## Principles

### Source of Truth
- Read code first
- Document what exists
- Don't speculate on behavior

### Types
- README: project overview, setup, usage
- API: public interfaces, parameters, returns
- Architecture: module boundaries, data flow

### Maintenance
- Update with code changes
- Delete stale documentation
- Link to code references
