enhance-docs is a Claude Code skill that analyzes markdown documentation for readability, structure, and RAG optimization.
About
enhance-docs analyzes markdown documentation for readability, structure, and RAG optimization. It validates links and heading hierarchy, estimates tokens, replaces verbose phrases, and checks chunk sizes and semantic boundaries for retrieval. An --ai mode tunes docs for agent/RAG consumption while the default balances human and AI readability, with auto-fixes available via --fix.
- Validates links, heading hierarchy, and code-block language tags in markdown docs
- Offers AI-only and both modes for RAG-optimized versus human-readable output
- Applies auto-fixes for heading jumps, verbose phrases, and missing code languages

Parse Arguments
const args = '$ARGUMENTS'.split(' ').filter(Boolean);
const targetPath = args.find(a => !a.startsWith('--')) || '.';
const fix = args.includes('--fix');
const aiMode = args.includes('--ai');Documentation Locations
| Type | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| User docs | docs/*.md, README.md | Human-readable guides |
| Agent docs | agent-docs/*.md | AI reference material |
| Project memory | CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md | AI context/instructions |
Optimization Modes
AI-Only Mode (--ai)
For agent-docs and RAG-optimized documentation:
- Aggressive token reduction
- Dense information packing
- Self-contained sections for retrieval
- Optimal chunking boundaries
Both Mode (--both, default)
For user-facing documentation:
- Balance readability with AI-friendliness
- Clear structure for both humans and retrievers
Workflow
1. Discover - Find all .md files 2. Parse - Extract structure and content 3. Check - Run pattern checks based on mode 4. Report - Generate markdown output 5. Fix - Apply auto-fixes if --fix
Detection Patterns
1. Link Validation (HIGH)
- Broken anchor links (
[text](#missing-anchor)) - Links to non-existent files
- Malformed link syntax
2. Structure Validation (HIGH)
Heading hierarchy:
- No jumps (H1 → H3 without H2)
- Single H1 per document
- Code blocks with language tags
Position-aware content (based on "lost in the middle" research):
- Critical info at START or END of document
- Supporting details in MIDDLE
- Flag important content buried in middle sections
Recommended structure:
1. Overview/Purpose (START - high attention)
2. Quick Start / TL;DR
3. Detailed Content
4. Reference / API
5. Summary / Key Points (END - high attention)3. Token Efficiency (HIGH - AI Mode)
Token estimation: characters / 4 or words * 1.3
Unnecessary prose:
- "In this document..."
- "As you can see..."
- "Let's explore..."
- "It's important to note that..."
Verbose phrases:
| Verbose | Concise |
|---|---|
| "in order to" | "to" |
| "due to the fact that" | "because" |
| "has the ability to" | "can" |
| "at this point in time" | "now" |
| "for the purpose of" | "for" |
| "in the event that" | "if" |
Target: ~1500 tokens for project memory files, flexible for reference docs.
4. RAG Optimization (MEDIUM - AI Mode)
Chunk size guidelines:
| Size | Issue |
|---|---|
| >1000 tokens | Too long, split into subtopics |
| <50 tokens | Too short, merge with related content |
| 200-500 tokens | Optimal for retrieval |
Semantic boundaries:
- Single topic per section
- Self-contained sections (avoid "It", "This" at section start)
- Clear section titles that describe content
Context anchors:
# Bad - ambiguous start
## Configuration
It requires several settings...
# Good - self-contained
## Configuration
The plugin configuration requires several settings...5. Information Density (MEDIUM - AI Mode)
Prefer tables over prose:
# Bad - verbose
The function accepts a path parameter which is required,
a limit parameter which defaults to 10, and an optional
format parameter.
# Good - dense
| Param | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
| path | Yes | - | File path |
| limit | No | 10 | Max results |
| format | No | json | Output format |Prefer lists over paragraphs for sequential items.
Use code blocks for examples, commands, configurations.
6. Cross-Reference Quality (MEDIUM)
- Internal links should use relative paths
- External links should be stable (avoid commit hashes)
- Reference sections should point to canonical sources
7. Balance Suggestions (MEDIUM - Both Mode)
- Missing section headers in long content (>500 words without heading)
- Important information buried late in document
- Missing TL;DR or summary for long documents
Auto-Fixes
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Inconsistent headings | H1 → H3 becomes H1 → H2 |
| Verbose phrases | Replace with concise alternatives |
| Missing code language | Add based on content detection |

FAQ
What is the optimal chunk size for RAG?
The skill targets 200-500 tokens per section as optimal for retrieval, flagging chunks over 1000 or under 50 tokens.
Does enhance-docs have an AI-specific mode?
Yes, the --ai mode does aggressive token reduction and self-contained sections for RAG, while the default balances human and AI readability.
