About scan
scan
Scans the codebase to generate project-doc.md and AGENTS.md
scan is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection that scans a codebase and writes the project documentation that other agents use to work in it. It produces two files, project-doc.md and AGENTS.md, and it is meant for bootstrapping a new agent-driven repository, or for refreshing the documentation after the code has changed a lot. The skill acts as a technical analyst. Its first step checks for two optional plugins, understand-anything, which adds deeper semantic code analysis, and context-mode, which routes large outputs through a sandbox to protect the context window. Both are optional, and when they are missing the skill falls back to standard tools such as find, grep, cat and git, summarizing large outputs inline. The result is documentation that describes this particular project rather than a generic template, so agents starting work later have accurate notes on the layout, the commands and the conventions. The skill is useful when a repository is new to agents, after a major restructuring, or when the existing project notes have drifted from the code. Generated documentation should be read by the maintainers, because an agent's summary can be wrong in places and the notes will shape the work of later agents. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 4.3K installs, with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Snyk passing and Socket showing a warning at the time of the scan.
