Install

Note

Docent is released and usable, but under active development. Expect rough edges and breaking changes between versions.

Docent installs as an agent skill:

npx skills add angusfretwell/docent

Run /docent on a branch to get started.

How it works

/docent authors two walkthroughs of the branch under review, served together in the browser. A code tour through the diff, and a product tour that drives your running app the way a user would.

Two more invocations close the loop:

• /docent --read pulls the review's comments into your agent session to work on.
• /docent --write records the session's review outcomes back.

Everything docent knows about a branch lives in .docent/ at the repo root, on your machine.

CLI

The skill drives the docent CLI. There's nothing to install globally:

npx @angusfretwell/docent@latest

Acknowledgements

Docent's diff surface is built on Pierre's excellent open source diff rendering and file tree rendering libraries.
