Documentation Scanner
Scan for and synthesize project documentation.
When to Activate
- User asks to review, understand, or explore a codebase
- Starting work in a new/unfamiliar project
- User asks about project conventions or workflows
- Before making significant architectural decisions
Instructions
Step 1: Scan for Documentation
Use Glob to search project root:
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AI.md, ASSISTANT.md,
GEMINI.md, COPILOT.md, CHATGPT.md, CODEIUM.md,
CURSOR.md, WINDSURF.md, VSCODE.md, JETBRAINS.md,
WARP.md, FIG.md, DEVCONTAINER.md, GITPOD.md
Step 2: Read All Found Files
Read complete contents of every documentation file found.
Step 3: Synthesize
Combine information into unified summary:
PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
Sources: [list files found]
RECOMMENDED AGENTS
Primary: [agents for core work]
Secondary: [agents for specific tasks]
KEY WORKFLOWS
[consolidated workflows]
CONVENTIONS
[code style, patterns]
QUICK COMMANDS
[common commands]
Step 4: Offer Consolidation
If 2+ documentation files exist, offer to consolidate:
- Create
.doc-archive/directory - Archive originals with date suffix
- Generate unified AGENTS.md
- Report what was consolidated
Step 5: No Documentation Found
If none found, offer to generate AGENTS.md based on:
- Project structure and tech stack
- Patterns observed in codebase
Priority Order
- AGENTS.md (platform-agnostic)
- CLAUDE.md (Claude-specific)
- Other AI docs
- IDE docs
- Terminal docs
