Or simply tell your AI coding agent:

Please install Skills from github.com/AIGNE-io/doc-smith-skills

Via Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

# Register marketplace
/plugin marketplace add AIGNE-io/doc-smith-skills

# Install plugin

Use with OpenClaw

Publish your documentation via OpenClaw:

1. Visit DocSmith OpenClaw page
2. Sign in and click "Generate Publish Prompt"
3. Copy the prompt and paste it into OpenClaw

The prompt includes skill installation, credential setup, and publish instructions — OpenClaw handles the rest. The credential is saved automatically and persists across sessions.

Quick Start

Step 1 — Generate documentation:

/doc-smith-create Generate English documentation for the current project

DocSmith will analyze your project, then present a document outline for you to review and confirm. After your confirmation, it generates full HTML documentation with AI images in .aigne/doc-smith/dist/.

Step 2 — Translate to other languages (optional):

/doc-smith-localize Translate docs to Japanese and Chinese
/doc-smith-localize --lang ja --lang zh

Only changed documents are re-translated. Use --force to translate everything.

Step 3 — Publish online:

/doc-smith-publish

Uploads your docs to DocSmith Cloud and returns a shareable URL.

Workspace Structure

DocSmith creates a workspace in .aigne/doc-smith/ with its own git repository:

FAQ

What project types does DocSmith support?

DocSmith works with any project — it analyzes source code, configuration files, README, and other project files regardless of language or framework.

Where is the workspace located?

All DocSmith data lives in .aigne/doc-smith/ under your project root. It uses its own git repository, so it won't interfere with your project's version control.

How does incremental translation work?

DocSmith uses content hashing to detect changes. When you run /doc-smith-localize, only documents that have changed since the last translation will be re-translated. Use --force to override this behavior.

Can I customize the output theme?

Yes. DocSmith generates a theme.css file in the dist assets directory. You can modify it to customize colors, fonts, and layout.
