If release-please has already created CHANGELOG entries for this version, **enhance** them with benefit language rather than duplicating. If no release-please entries exist, generate from scratch using conventional commits. + +Detection: check if a version header (e.g., `## [1.7.0]`) or `## [Unreleased]` section already exists in CHANGELOG.md with entries for the commits in scope. + +### Step 3: README + +Load the `feature-benefits` skill. Run a features audit to compare current README features against the codebase. Update: +- Features section (add new, mark deprecated) +- "By the Numbers" metrics table (command counts, skill counts, etc.) +- Badge version references (note: release-please handles the version badge via `x-release-please-version` — do not duplicate) + +### Step 4: User Guides + +Load the `user-guides` skill. Identify which guides are affected by checking if changed files relate to documented workflows. Update affected sections. Add new guides if a major new feature warrants one. Update the docs hub page if guides were added. + +### Step 5: AI Context Files (ContextDocs) + +If [ContextDocs](https://github.com/littlebearapps/contextdocs) is installed (`[ -d ".claude/skills/ai-context" ]`), delegate to it: + +```bash +# Check if ContextDocs is available +if [ -d ".claude/skills/ai-context" ]; then + echo "ContextDocs detected — run /contextdocs:ai-context audit to check for drift" +fi +``` + +If ContextDocs is not installed, print an advisory: +``` +ℹ AI context file refresh skipped — install ContextDocs for AI context management: + /plugin install contextdocs@lba-plugins +``` + +### Step 6: llms.txt + +Load the `llms-txt` skill. Regenerate if files were added, removed, or renamed since the boundary. If no structural changes, skip. + +### Step 7: Package Registry + +Load the `package-registry` skill. Verify that package.json/pyproject.toml metadata (description, keywords, repository, homepage) is still current. Flag any drift. + +### Step 7.5: Plugin Manifest (if applicable) + +If the project has a `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, verify the `description` and `keywords` fields still match the current README one-liner and features. CLAUDE.md notes "update on every release" — flag stale descriptions that no longer reflect the project's scope. + +### Step 8: Verify (always runs last) + +Load the `docs-verify` skill. Run full verification: broken links, stale content, llms.txt sync, heading hierarchy, badge URLs, feature coverage, quality score. Report the score and any issues found. + +### Step 9: Release Notes (optional) + +If `release-notes` argument was provided or running in `full` mode, generate a GitHub release body from the CHANGELOG entry for this version.

+## Specification (llmstxt.org) + +An llms.txt file is a Markdown document with sections in this exact order: + +1. **H1 heading** (required) — the name of the project or site +2. **Blockquote** (optional) — short summary with key information for understanding the rest of the file +3. **Body text** (optional) — zero or more Markdown sections of any type **except headings** +4. **H2 sections with file lists** (optional) — each contains a Markdown list where every item has: + - A **required** hyperlink: `[name](url)` + - Optionally a `:` followed by notes about the file +5. **`## Optional` section** (special) — URLs here can be skipped when shorter context is needed + +**No other heading levels are used.** Only H1 (one, at the top) and H2 (for sections). + +## Two Output Files + +| File | Content | Size Target | Use Case | +|------|---------|-------------|----------| +| `llms.txt` | Index with links and descriptions | Under 10K tokens | Real-time AI assistants navigating quickly | +| `llms-full.txt` | Concatenated Markdown of all referenced files | Varies (can be 100K+ tokens) | RAG ingestion, IDE indexing, full-context tools | + +## Generation Workflow + +### Step 1: Gather Project Metadata + +Read the primary manifest for the project name and description: + +| File | Name Field | Description Field | +|------|-----------|------------------| +| `package.json` | `name` | `description` | +| `pyproject.toml` | `[project].name` | `[project].description` | +| `Cargo.toml` | `[package].name` | `[package].description` | +| `go.mod` | module path | First line of README | +| `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` | `name` | `description` | + +### Step 2: Scan for Documentation Files + +Check for these files and directories: + +**Primary docs:** +- `README.md` +- `docs/` directory (hub page, guides, API reference) +- `examples/` directory + +**Supporting docs:** +- `CONTRIBUTING.md` +- `CHANGELOG.md` +- `SECURITY.md` +- `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` +- `ROADMAP.md` +- `LICENSE` + +**Code entry points** (include only if the project is a library/framework): +- `src/index.*` or `lib/index.*` +- Config files with schema documentation + +### Step 3: Write Descriptive Annotations + +For each file, write a benefit-focused description — not just the file name: + +**Good:** +``` +- [Getting Started](./docs/guides/getting-started.md): Install, configure, and deploy your first worker in under 5 minutes +``` + +**Bad:** +``` +- [Getting Started](./docs/guides/getting-started.md): Getting started guide +``` + +Use the feature-benefits approach: describe what the reader **gains** from reading that file. + +### Step 4: Assemble llms.txt + +For **repositories** (local paths): + +```markdown +# [Project Name] + +> [Description from manifest or README first paragraph] + +[Optional body text: language, framework, key technical context] + +## Docs + +- [README](./README.md): Project overview, value proposition, and quick start +- [API Reference](./docs/api.md): Complete endpoint documentation with authentication and error codes +- [Configuration](./docs/configuration.md): All config options with defaults and examples + +## Guides + +- [Getting

[Changelog](https://docs.example.com/changelog): Version history +- [Contributing](https://github.com/org/repo/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md): How to contribute +``` + +### Step 5: Generate llms-full.txt (if requested) + +Concatenate all referenced files in the same order as llms.txt, with clear separators: + +```markdown +# [Project Name] — Full Documentation + +> Complete documentation content for LLM ingestion. + +--- + +## README.md + +[Full contents of README.md] + +--- + +## docs/api.md + +[Full contents of docs/api.md] + +--- + +[Continue for all referenced files, excluding the Optional section unless specifically requested] +``` + +**Size management:** +- Skip binary files (images, PDFs) +- For very large files (>50K tokens), include only the first section or a summary +- Note the

Never set both `width` and `height` unless the source aspect ratio requires it. +- **Background**: Transparent for README headers. Solid colour backgrounds are only for listing thumbnails (DevHunt, Product Hunt). +- **Breathing room**: Use separate `

` blocks for the logo, tagline, badges, and links. Each `

` gets natural CSS margin from GitHub's stylesheet (~16px), creating consistent spacing without `
` hacks. Avoid `
` inside `

Run a features audit to compare current README features against the codebase. Update: +- Features section (add new, mark deprecated) +- "By the Numbers" metrics table (command counts, skill counts, etc.) +- Badge version references (note: release-please handles the version badge via `x-release-please-version` — do not duplicate) + +### Step 4: User Guides + +Load the `user-guides` skill. Identify which guides are affected by checking if changed files relate to documented workflows. Update affected sections. Add new guides if a major new feature warrants one. Update the docs hub page if guides were added. + +### Step 5: AI Context Files (ContextDocs) + +If [ContextDocs](https://github.com/littlebearapps/contextdocs) is installed (`[ -d ".claude/skills/ai-context" ]`), delegate to it: + +```bash +# Check if ContextDocs is available +if [ -d ".claude/skills/ai-context" ]; then + echo "ContextDocs detected — run /contextdocs:ai-context audit to check for drift" +fi +``` + +If ContextDocs is not installed, print an advisory: +``` +ℹ AI context file refresh skipped — install ContextDocs for AI context management: + /plugin install contextdocs@lba-plugins +``` + +### Step 6: llms.txt + +Load the `llms-txt` skill. Regenerate if files were added, removed, or renamed since the boundary. If no structural changes, skip. + +### Step 7: Package Registry + +Load the `package-registry` skill. Verify that package.json/pyproject.toml metadata (description, keywords, repository, homepage) is still current. Flag any drift. + +### Step 7.5: Plugin Manifest (if applicable) + +If the project has a `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, verify the `description` and `keywords` fields still match the current README one-liner and features. CLAUDE.md notes "update on every release" — flag stale descriptions that no longer reflect the project's scope. + +### Step 8: Verify (always runs last) + +Load the `docs-verify` skill. Run full verification: broken links, stale content, llms.txt sync, heading hierarchy, badge URLs, feature coverage, quality score. Report the score and any issues found. + +### Step 9: Release Notes (optional) + +If `release-notes` argument was provided or running in `full` mode, generate a GitHub release body from the CHANGELOG entry for this version.

Use a descriptive H2 heading ("How It Compares"), be factually accurate about competitors, and include at least one quantitative row alongside qualitative ones. + +## TL;DR and Key Concepts Blocks + +For long guides (200+ lines), add a **TL;DR** block immediately after the title. RAG systems often extract the first paragraph under a heading — make it count. + +## Prerequisite Blocks + +Explicit, structured prerequisite blocks improve LLM understanding. Always use bullet list format — never bury prerequisites in prose paragraphs. + +## Data Density Over Narrative + +AI systems extract concrete data, not marketing adjectives. Replace long paragraphs with single concrete statistics. Embed stats directly into feature bullets as evidence. Comparison tables earn their place but limit to 3–4 competitors and 5–8 capabilities. + +## Cross-Referencing for Semantic Scaffolding + +Explicit cross-references create a "semantic web" that improves citation accuracy. Every guide links to at least one related guide and back to the hub page. Use descriptive link text — not "click here". + +## Citation Capsules + +A **citation capsule** is a 40–60 word self-contained passage at the start of each H2 section, written so it makes sense if extracted with no surrounding context. + +**Rules:** +- Every H2 section in README must open with a citation capsule +- Include at least one concrete fact: a number, named entity, or measurable outcome +- The capsule must be comprehensible without reading any other section +- Keep to 40–60 words +- Do not start with "This section" or "In this part" — start with the subject diff --git a/dist/gemini/skills/launch-artifacts/SKILL.md b/dist/gemini/skills/launch-artifacts/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e2d9ea8 --- /dev/null +++ b/dist/gemini/skills/launch-artifacts/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,321 @@ +--- +name: launch-artifacts +description: Transforms README and CHANGELOG into platform-specific launch content — Dev.to articles, Hacker News posts, Reddit posts, Twitter/X threads, and awesome list submission PRs.

PNG as fallback for complex raster logos. +- **Height**: `height="160"` to `height="240"` — scale to visual weight, not pixel count. Larger source images (1000x1000) use the lower end; smaller sources (300–500px) use the higher end. Never set both `width` and `height` unless the source aspect ratio requires it. +- **Background**: Transparent for README headers. Solid colour backgrounds are only for listing thumbnails (DevHunt, Product Hunt). +- **Breathing room**: Use separate `

` blocks for the logo, tagline, badges, and links. Each `

` gets natural CSS margin from GitHub's stylesheet (~16px), creating consistent spacing without `
` hacks. Avoid `
` inside `

` blocks — GitHub's renderer collapses them unpredictably. +- **Dark mode support**: Use `` with `prefers-color-scheme` sources when the logo doesn't render well on both light and dark backgrounds: + ```html + + + + Project Name + + ``` +- **Wordmark logos**: If the logo contains the project name (a wordmark), omit the `# Project Name` heading to avoid duplication. +- **Storage**: `docs/assets/` or `.github/assets/` in the repo. For npm/PyPI-published packages, use absolute URLs — relative paths break on registry pages. URL pattern by platform: GitHub `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/path`, GitLab `https://gitlab.com/org/repo/-/raw/main/path`, Bitbucket `https://bitbucket.org/org/repo/raw/main/path`.

Cheap, no infrastructure changes. + +1. **Tag the 24 cases by scenario type.** Add a `scenario` field (`direct` | `paraphrased` | `edge_case` | `negative` | `semantic`) to each entry in `tests/evaluations.json`. Per the [cc-plugin-eval](https://github.com/sjnims/cc-plugin-eval) taxonomy. Surface coverage gaps in the runner output: which scenario types we're under-covering. Likely finding: `negative` (3) and `edge_case` (0) are thin. +2. **Default `--runs 3` instead of `--runs 1`.** Single-shot at 95%+ accuracy is dominated by model variance noise. Per Anthropic skill-creator's published standard. Bump default in `run-activation-evals.sh`; bump default in `.github/workflows/activation-evals.yml`. Cost goes from ~$6.50 to ~$19.50 — but Phase 2 brings it back down. *Optional gate:* keep `runs: 1` for fast PR feedback, escalate to `runs: 3` only on the release-gate run. +3. **Fix the 3 known regressions** from the 2026-03-15 run by aligning `expected_skill` names in `evaluations.json` with what the Skill tool actually emits (`feature` → `feature-benefits`, `none` → `changelog` for `cmd-changelog`, etc.). The v2.3.0 collision migration shifted what gets emitted — re-baseline against the post-v2.3.0 eval run. +4. **Add a baseline file.** Save the latest passing run as `tests/activation-results/baseline.json` (committed). Update `run-activation-evals.sh` to print "regressions vs baseline" — per-test pass/fail delta. No automatic gating yet (Phase 3 adds that). Today: ad-hoc comparison against `RESULTS.md` requires manual review. + +**Deliverable:** PR titled `feat(evals): scenario taxonomy, 3× sampling, regression baseline`. +**Smoke test:** `bash tests/run-activation-evals.sh --dry-run` should print scenario-type breakdown. + +### Phase 2 — Cost reduction + +**Target:** 1 PR, ~4 hours, ~70% cost cut. +**Goal:** take per-run cost from ~$19.50 (3× sampling at Haiku) down to ~$5–6, making Phase 1's accuracy gains free. + +5. **Switch from per-test `claude -p` subprocess to session-batched execution with `/clear`.** Per [cc-plugin-eval](https://github.com/sjnims/cc-plugin-eval), this drops 100-scenario runs from 8–13 min to 2–3 min — ~80% subprocess overhead reduction. Implementation: keep one `claude` session open via the SDK / persistent stdin pipe; send `/clear` between cases; parse responses inline. Risk: PitchDocs has `--no-session-persistence` for isolation; need a hybrid that clears state without burning fresh tokens. Reference implementation in `cc-plugin-eval` source. +6. **Adopt the [Anthropic Batches API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages-batches)** for the release-gate run (24 cases × 3 runs = 72 calls). 50% discount, no rate-limit pressure, ~24h SLA. PR-gate runs stay synchronous via existing path; release-gate runs go through batches. Implementation: new `--batch` flag on `run-activation-evals.sh` that submits all 72 calls, polls for completion, then parses results. +7. **Per-test budget calibration.** The current `--max-budget-usd 0.50` per test is conservative; on Haiku it's ~10× the actual spend. Lower to `0.08` for Haiku, `0.20` for Sonnet — cuts the budget guardrail's drag on legit edge cases. Cost-estimate function (`run-activation-evals.sh` line 120) should account for fallback to Sonnet rather than fixed `$0.02`. + +**Cost projection:** + +| Mode | Today | Phase 1 (3× sampling) | Phase 2 (session-batched) | Phase 2 + Batches | +|------|-------|----------------------|--------------------------|--------------------| +| PR gate (`runs=1`) | $6.50 | $6.50 | $1.50 | $0.75 | +| Release gate (`runs=3`) | $6.50 | $19.50 | $4.50 | $2.25 | + +**Deliverable:** PR titled `feat(evals): session-batched execution + Batches API mode`. +**Smoke test:** time a full run before/after; expect 4–5× speedup. + +### Phase 3 — Diff-aware mode + PR gating + +**Target:** 1 PR, ~3 hours. +**Goal:** shift evals left (run on every PR) without blowing the budget. + +8. **Diff-aware eval selection.** Add a `--changed-only` flag to `run-activation-evals.sh` that runs `git diff --name-only origin/main -- .claude/skills/ commands/` to identify changed skills, then filters `evaluations.json` to test cases targeting those skills (`expected_skill` matches a changed skill name). Drops typical PR cost to <$1. +9. **Wire to `pull_request` workflow trigger.** Add a `pr-evals.yml` workflow (or extend `activation-evals.yml`) that fires on `pull_request` paths-filter `.claude/skills/**`, `commands/**`, `tests/evaluations.json`, runs in `--changed-only --runs 1` mode, posts a summary as a PR comment via `gh pr comment`. Soft-fail (warning only) — block release on the existing manual-dispatch run, not on PR. +10. **Severity-classified regression detection.** Adopt [TribeAI/claude-evals](https://github.com/TribeAI/claude-evals)'s CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW classification by failure-percentage delta vs `baseline.json`.

Install PitchDocs +## Step 1: Set Up PitchDocs -Open Claude Code in your terminal and run: +First, install PitchDocs as a plugin. + +Open Claude Code and run: ```bash -# Add the LBA plugin marketplace (once per machine) /plugin marketplace add littlebearapps/lba-plugins - -# Install PitchDocs +/plugin install pitchdocs@lba-plugins +``` + +You should see confirmation that the plugin and all skills are loaded. + +**Verify it worked:** Start a new session and you should see PitchDocs skills available in autocomplete. + +
+Troubleshooting: Plugin not loading + +If you don't see PitchDocs skills: + +```bash +# List installed plugins +/plugin list + +# If pitchdocs is missing, reinstall +/plugin uninstall pitchdocs +/plugin install pitchdocs@lba-plugins +``` + +If you're using OpenCode, the install command is identical. + +
+ +--- + +## Step 2: Create or Navigate to a Sample Project + +For this tutorial, we'll work with a sample project. Choose one: + +### Option A: Use an existing project + +```bash +cd /path/to/your/project +``` + +### Option B: Create a minimal sample project +```bash +mkdir pitchdocs-tutorial +cd pitchdocs-tutorial +git init + +# Create a basic project structure +cat > package.json << 'EOF' +{ + "name": "data-transform-lib", + "version": "1.0.0", + "description": "Fast JSON and CSV transformation library", + "main": "src/index.js", + "scripts": { + "test": "jest", + "build": "tsc", + "dev": "nodemon src/index.js" + }, + "keywords": ["json", "csv", "transform"], + "author": "Your Name", + "license": "MIT" +} +EOF + +mkdir -p src docs +cat > src/index.js << 'EOF' +// Core transformation functions +export function transformJSON(data, rules) { + // Applies rules to transform JSON data + return processRules(data, rules); +} + +export function transformCSV(csvString, options) { + // Converts CSV to JSON or vice versa + return convertCSV(csvString, options); +} + +export function createRule(selector, transformer) { + // Allows custom transformation rules + return { selector, transformer }; +} +EOF + +cat > README.md << 'EOF' +# Data Transform Library + +A JavaScript library for transforming JSON and CSV data. + +## Installation + +npm install data-transform-lib + +## Usage + +See documentation. +EOF + +git add -A +git commit -m "feat: initial commit with core transformation functions" +``` + +**Expected output:** A new git repository with a basic project structure. + +If you already have a project, skip to the next step. + +--- + +## Step 3: Extract Features and Understand Your Project + +Now, let PitchDocs scan your project and identify what's worth documenting. + +```bash +/pitchdocs:features +``` + +PitchDocs will scan across 10 signal categories: CLI commands, public API, configuration, integrations, performance, security, TypeScript/DX, testing, extensibility, and documentation. + +**What to look for in the output:** +- **Evidence** — each feature links to a file path (e.g., `src/index.js` line 5) +- **Signal categories** — which parts of your code are "interesting" enough to document +- **Tier classification** — Hero (standout), Core (essential), Supporting (nice-to-have) + +
+Example: If the scan found your features... + +You might see something like: + +``` +🎯 Hero Features (1–3 standout capabilities) + - Fast JSON transformation with automatic type detection (src/index.js:8) + +📋 Core Features (4–8 essential capabilities) + - CSV-to-JSON converter (src/index.js:15) + - Custom transformation rules API (src/index.js:22) + - Streaming support for large files (src/transform.js:45) + +🔧 Supporting Features + - Error handling with detailed messages + - Optional type validation +``` + +These become the basis for your README features section. + +
+ +**Next step:** If the features look accurate, continue to Step 4. If you want to refine them, run: + +```bash +/pitchdocs:features benefits +``` + +This lets you "talk it out" — answer 4 questions to help PitchDocs understand your project's value from a user's perspective. + +--- + +## Step 4: Generate Your First README + +With features extracted, generate a professional README: + +```bash +/pitchdocs:readme +``` + +PitchDocs will create (or improve) a `README.md` with: +- **Hero section** — your project's logo, description, and badges +- **Quick start** — install and first code example (30-60 seconds to working code) +- **Features table** — Hero + Core features in benefit-driven language +- **Comparison** — how you compare to alternatives +- **Contribution and support links** — next steps for visitors + +**Verify it worked:** +```bash +head -n 50 README.md +``` + +You should see a well-formatted hero section with your project name, description, and badges. + +
+If the README needs refinement + +PitchDocs accepts natural language guidance: + +```bash +# Focus on a specific section +/pitchdocs:readme focus on the comparison table + +# Regenerate with a different tone +/pitchdocs:readme for a more technical audience + +# Emphasise a particular feature +/pitchdocs:readme highlight the CSV transformation feature +``` + +Each run refines the output — you're not overwriting; you're improving. + +
+ +--- + +## Step 5: Audit What Else Your Project Needs + +Your README is done, but there are usually 15+ other documentation files worth creating. Let PitchDocs scan your project against a comprehensive checklist: + +```bash +/pitchdocs:docs-audit +``` + +This produces a **3-tier checklist**: +- **Tier 1 (Critical)** — README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING +- **Tier 2 (Essential)** — CHANGELOG, SECURITY, ROADMAP +- **Tier 3 (Nice-to-have)** — user guides, issue templates, PR templates + +**What to look for:** The output will show which files exist ✅ and which are missing ❌. + +--- + +## Step 6: Generate Missing Documentation (All at Once) + +Instead of creating each file manually, generate everything that's missing: + +```bash +/pitchdocs:docs-audit fix +``` + +This command: +1.

But when someone lands on GitHub, all they see is... nothing. No README that explains what this does. No CHANGELOG that makes sense to users. No contributing guide. No security policy. -## Progressive Disclosure (The Lobby Principle) +By the time you'd finished writing all that documentation, you could've shipped three features. And half of it would already be out of date. -The README is the **lobby** of the repository — it gives visitors enough to decide whether they want to enter the building, but it should not contain the entire building. Detailed content belongs in separate docs and guides, linked from the README. +## The Problem With Manual Documentation -- First paragraph: non-technical, benefit-focused, anyone can understand -- Second section: quick start for developers who want to try it NOW -- Deeper sections: technical details, API reference, architecture -- A familiar user should be able to refresh their memory without scrolling past the fold +Writing great documentation is a slog. Even if you *know* the patterns (the 4-question test, the lobby principle, Time to Hello World), every new project means starting from scratch. You're writing the same sections over and over — installation instructions, feature tables, API overviews. And then six months later, when you ship v2.0, the docs are still referencing v1.0. -**Lobby content (belongs in README):** -- Value proposition (2–3 paragraphs max) -- Quick start with 5–7 examples -- Top features (8 or fewer emoji+bold+em-dash bullets) -- Comparison table (top 3–4 competitors, top 5–8 distinguishing capabilities) -- Credibility signals (badges, security, social proof) -- Links to docs, contributing, and licence +Tools like readmeai give you a README. Generators make READMEs from package.json. But neither handles the *full suite* — CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, ROADMAP, SECURITY, issue templates, user guides, API docs, `llms.txt` for AI discoverability. -**Building content (delegate to `docs/guides/` or separate files):** -- Per-tool or per-platform setup instructions -- Exhaustive feature inventories or API surface docs -- Multi-step tutorials longer than 5–7 lines -- Configuration reference tables -- Architecture deep-dives -- Upstream specification details +And none of them understand your codebase well enough to surface the features users actually care about. -**The delegation test:** If a README section exceeds 2 paragraphs of prose or a table exceeds 8 rows, it likely belongs in a dedicated guide linked from the README with a 2–3 line summary. +## Enter PitchDocs -## Time to Hello World +PitchDocs is a Claude Code plugin (100% Markdown, zero runtime dependencies) that turns your codebase into a complete documentation suite — all from slash commands. -The primary DevEx metric for documentation. Every quick start section should target a measurable Time to Hello World (TTHW) based on project type: +Scan your code for features. Extract user benefits with evidence. Generate a README that sells. Create a CHANGELOG that users understand. Build contributing guides, roadmaps, security policies — all in one go or one command at a time. -| TTHW Target | Project Type | Example | -|-------------|-------------|---------| -| Under 60 seconds | CLI tool, plugin | `npx create-thing && thing run` | -| Under 2 minutes | Library, SDK | `npm install` + 5-line code example | -| Under 5 minutes | Framework, platform | Clone + config + first request | -| Under 15 minutes | Infrastructure, self-hosted | Docker compose + verify health | +### What It Actually Does -State the TTHW target explicitly in the quick start section where evidence supports it (e.g. "Get your first README in under 60 seconds"). Apply cognitive load principles: concrete before abstract, one concept per step, protect flow state (all prereqs upfront, all commands copy-paste-ready). +```bash +/pitchdocs:readme # Marketing-friendly README in 60 seconds +/pitchdocs:features # Extract features + benefits from code +/pitchdocs:changelog # User-focused CHANGELOG from git history +/pitchdocs:roadmap # ROADMAP from GitHub milestones +/pitchdocs:docs-audit fix # Auto-generate missing docs (20+ files) +``` -## Tone & Language +No configuration. No build step. Works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, Aider, and Goose. -- Consistent language — follow the project's existing locale and spelling conventions -- Professional-yet-approachable — confident, not corporate -- Benefit-driven: describe what users GAIN, not just what the software DOES -- "You can now..." not "We implemented..." — reader-centric framing -- Active voice. Short sentences. No jargon without explanation. +### The Secret: Evidence-Based Features -**Banned phrases:** Avoid these AI-detectable patterns entirely — "in today's digital landscape", "it's important to note", "dive into" / "deep dive", "leverage", "game-changer", "cutting-edge" / "state-of-the-art", "seamless" / "seamlessly", "robust", "in conclusion" / "to summarise", "furthermore" / "moreover", "revolutionise", "utilise", "comprehensive", "navigate the complexities", "elevate your". No "simple", "easy", or "powerful" without evidence — show simplicity through short examples, show power through benchmarks. +PitchDocs doesn't guess what your project does. It scans 10 signal categories — exports, CLI commands, API routes, npm scripts, configuration options, schema definitions, and more — then maps features to actual file paths. -## Feature-to-Benefit Writing +Every feature claim is backed by code. When PitchDocs says "You can configure X via Y", it shows you the exact file where that lives. -Pattern: `[Technical feature] so you can [user outcome] — [evidence]`. Every feature needs evidence (file path, function, config option). Use at least 3 of the 5 benefit categories (time saved, confidence gained, pain avoided, capability unlocked, cost reduced). No "simple", "easy", or "powerful" without evidence — show simplicity through short examples, show power through benchmarks. Load the `feature-benefits` skill for the full framework, user benefits, signal gate, and formatting options. +### Built-In Professional Standards -## Marketing Principles for Technical Docs +Every generated doc passes three quality gates: -Hero section: logo + bold one-liner + explanatory sentence + badges. Use separate `

` blocks for spacing. Every doc ends with a clear next step. Load the `public-readme` skill for the full hero structure, badge categories, and dark mode guidance. Load `platform-profiles` for platform-specific badge URLs. +1. **The 4-Question Test** — Does it solve my problem? Can I use it? Who made it?

Every project meant rewriting the same README sections, CHANGELOG entries, contributing guides — and by release day, half the docs were already out of date. ---- +PitchDocs is a Claude Code plugin (100% Markdown, zero runtime dependencies) that scans your codebase and auto-generates a complete documentation suite. It's not a simple README generator — it extracts features from 10 signal categories (exports, CLI commands, API routes, npm scripts, etc.), maps every claim back to actual code, and generates evidence-based docs that follow professional standards (the 4-question test, the lobby principle, Time to Hello World). -## Documentation Awareness +What sets it apart from other tools: instead of guessing what your project does, it *reads your actual code* and surfaces the features users care about. Every feature claim is backed by a file path. The docs are GEO-optimised for AI citation (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews cite your project accurately). Quality scores (0–100) grade completeness, structure, freshness, and evidence quality. Six GitHub Actions checks catch documentation decay before merge. -Source: ./.claude/rules/docs-awareness.md +Built with: 100% Markdown skills, runs on Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, Aider, Goose.

Respecting the **purpose of our community**, our activities, and our ways of gathering. +2. Engaging **kindly and honestly** with others. +3. Respecting **different viewpoints** and experiences. +4. **Taking responsibility** for our actions and contributions. +5. Gracefully giving and accepting **constructive feedback**. +6. Committing to **repairing harm** when it occurs. +7. Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the **well-being of our community**. + +## Restricted Behaviours + +We agree to restrict the following behaviours in our community. Instances, threats, and promotion of these behaviours are violations of this Code of Conduct. + +1. **Harassment.** Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging in unnecessary personal attention after any clear request to stop. +2. **Character attacks.** Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative comments directed at a community member or group of people. +3. **Stereotyping or discrimination.** Characterising anyone's personality or behaviour on the basis of immutable identities or traits. +4. **Sexualisation.** Behaving in a way that would generally be considered inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of the community. +5. **Violating confidentiality.** Sharing or acting on someone's personal or private information without their permission. +6. **Endangerment.** Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or other harm toward any person or group. +7. Behaving in other ways that **threaten the well-being** of our community. + +### Other Restrictions + +1. **Misleading identity.** Impersonating someone else for any reason, or pretending to be someone else to evade enforcement actions. +2. **Failing to credit sources.** Not properly crediting the sources of content you contribute. +3. **Promotional materials.** Sharing marketing or other commercial content in a way that is outside the norms of the community. +4. **Irresponsible communication.** Failing to responsibly present content which includes, links or describes any other restricted behaviours. + +## Reporting an Issue + +Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviours and norms that can help avoid conflicts and minimise harm. + +When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible violation, email **hello@littlebearapps.com**. + +Community Moderators take reports of violations seriously and will make every effort to respond in a timely manner. They will investigate all reports of code of conduct violations, reviewing messages, logs, and recordings, or interviewing witnesses and other participants. Community Moderators will keep investigation and enforcement actions as transparent as possible while prioritising safety and confidentiality. In order to honour these values, enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved parties, but communicating to the whole community may be part of a mutually agreed upon resolution. + +## Addressing and Repairing Harm + +If an investigation by the Community Moderators finds that this Code of Conduct has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine how best to repair harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped. + +1. **Warning** + - *Event*: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents. + - *Consequence*: A private, written warning from the Community Moderators. + - *Repair*: Examples include a private written apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations. + +2. **Temporarily Limited Activities** + - *Event*: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation. + - *Consequence*: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give the community members involved time to process the incident. + - *Repair*: Examples include making an apology, using the cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful about re-entering community spaces after the period is over. + +3. **Temporary Suspension** + - *Event*: A pattern of repeated violation which the Community Moderators have tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation. + - *Consequence*: A private written warning with conditions for return from suspension. In general, temporary suspensions give the person being suspended time to reflect upon their behaviour and possible corrective actions. + - *Repair*: Examples include respecting the spirit of the suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being thoughtful about how to reintegrate with the community when the suspension is lifted. + +4. **Permanent Ban** + - *Event*: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the Community Moderators determine there is no way to keep the community safe with this person as a member. + - *Consequence*: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication channels is removed. + - *Repair*: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity. + +This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the ability of Community Managers to use their discretion and judgement, in keeping with the best interests of our community. + +## Scope + +This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public or other spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. + +## Attribution + +This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/), version 3.0, permanently available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/3/0/. + +Contributor Covenant is stewarded by the Organisation for Ethical Source and licensed under [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/). + +For answers to common questions about Contributor Covenant, see the [FAQ](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/faq).
