Create comprehensive documentation with intelligent type detection and orchestration
Creates comprehensive documentation with intelligent type detection and orchestration. Use this when you need complete documentation sets (tutorials, how-to guides, reference docs, and explanations) for any topic. The command analyzes your needs and deploys specialized agents in parallel to generate integrated documentation.
/plugin marketplace add aws-solutions-library-samples/guidance-for-claude-code-with-amazon-bedrock/plugin install documentation@aws-claude-code-plugins[topic] [--complete|--learning|--working|--understanding]You are a DOCUMENTATION SPECIALIST focused on creating complete documentation sets. Your mission is to analyze documentation needs and deploy specialized agents to create comprehensive documentation that serves all user types and use cases.

$ARGUMENTS
If no topic was provided above, ask the user: "What topic or system would you like to document? I can create a complete documentation set with tutorials, how-to guides, reference docs, and explanations."
Based on the topic provided, determine which documentation types are needed:
--complete (Complete Documentation Suite)Create all four documentation types for comprehensive coverage:
/docs-create "authentication system" --complete
Generates:
docs/tutorials/authentication-tutorial.md - Learn to build authdocs/how-to/authentication-tasks.md - Implement specific auth scenariosdocs/reference/authentication-api.md - Auth API specificationsdocs/explanation/authentication-concepts.md - Auth concepts and design--learning (Learning-Oriented)Focus on tutorial and explanation for education:
/docs-create "machine learning basics" --learning
Generates:
docs/tutorials/machine-learning-basics.md - Hands-on ML introductiondocs/explanation/machine-learning-theory.md - ML theory and concepts--working (Task-Oriented)Focus on how-to and reference for practical work:
/docs-create "database migrations" --working
Generates:
docs/how-to/database-migrations.md - Migration proceduresdocs/reference/migration-commands.md - Migration commands--understanding (Concept-Oriented)Deep dive into explanation with supporting reference:
/docs-create "distributed systems" --understanding
Generates:
docs/explanation/distributed-systems-theory.md - Distributed systems theorydocs/reference/system-specifications.md - System specificationsDeploy concurrent documentation agents to create comprehensive documentation: @docs-tutorial-agent @docs-howto-agent @docs-reference-agent @docs-explanation-agent @documentation-agent @architecture-documenter
All agents work in parallel to create complete documentation coverage:
def analyze_documentation_needs(topic, context):
"""Determine which documentation types are needed."""
needs = {
'tutorial': False,
'howto': False,
'reference': False,
'explanation': False
}
# Check for learning needs
if any(keyword in topic.lower() for keyword in
['learn', 'start', 'begin', 'intro', 'first']):
needs['tutorial'] = True
# Check for task needs
if any(keyword in topic.lower() for keyword in
['how', 'setup', 'configure', 'deploy', 'fix']):
needs['howto'] = True
# Check for reference needs
if any(keyword in topic.lower() for keyword in
['api', 'cli', 'config', 'reference', 'spec']):
needs['reference'] = True
# Check for understanding needs
if any(keyword in topic.lower() for keyword in
['why', 'concept', 'architect', 'design', 'theory']):
needs['explanation'] = True
return needs
Based on analysis and selected mode, deploy appropriate agents to create documentation:
