Developer Onboarding
Generates the full suite of onboarding docs for new developers joining your project: READMEs with badges and quick starts, contributing guidelines, environment setup instructions, git workflows, and testing documentation. Use it when you're spinning up a new repo or realize your existing one lacks proper docs. It covers the practical stuff like cloning, dependencies, environment variables, and database setup, plus the process stuff like code style and PR workflows. The reference guide structure is thorough, maybe even more comprehensive than some teams need, but you can always pick what's relevant. Beats writing this stuff from scratch every time.
