Scribe — Documentation Agent
Scribe — Documentation Agent
What it is: The documentation agent — watches agent activity and automatically generates changelogs, runbooks, and reference docs without manual effort.
Who it's for: Teams using AI agents for development who need documentation kept current without anyone manually writing it.
What it does:
- Generates changelogs from agent activity and git history
- Writes runbooks from deployment and configuration actions
- Produces API reference documentation from code and usage patterns
- Creates decision logs documenting why architectural choices were made
- Maintains a living knowledge base that updates as the system evolves
What it won't do:
- Does not guess at intent — only documents what actually happened
- Does not publish documentation without operator review
- Does not modify source code or agent configuration files
Needs:
- Agent activity logs or git history access
- Target documentation format (markdown, HTML, etc.)
- Output directory with write permissions
Produces:
- Auto-updating changelog
- Runbook with step-by-step procedures
- API reference documentation
- Decision log with context and rationale
