ruflo-docs
Documentation generation, drift detection, and API docs automation plugin that also acts as a function-hook guard refusing doc writes or worker dispatch containing secrets.
About this mod
ruflo-docs is a Claude Code plugin for documentation automation: it generates docs from code changes, detects drift between docs and implementation, and produces API references from JSDoc/TSDoc and OpenAPI endpoints. It drives the document background worker (with optional api or single-file scope), owns the docs-drift AgentDB namespace for drift state, and integrates with SPARC documenter patterns. Install via /plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo then /plugin install ruflo-docs@ruflo; it requires the ruflo-core plugin for the MCP server. Since its latest version it is also a function-hook mod (needs Claude Code 2.1.287+): a guard refuses secret-bearing doc-* memory writes and document dispatch, a local /docs-mod command answers status, scan <text> and docs without a model turn, and a status file is written to .claude-flow/docs-mod/status.json. A guard option (on/off, default on) is exposed in the plugin userConfig.

Documentation generation, drift detection, and API docs automation.
Install
/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-docs@ruflo
What's Included
- Auto-Documentation: Background worker generates docs from code changes
- Drift Detection: Identifies when docs fall out of sync with implementation
- API Docs: Automated API documentation from TypeScript interfaces and JSDoc
- CAPABILITIES.md Generation: Full capabilities reference via
initcommand - Document Worker: Background
documentworker triggers on API changes - SPARC Integration: Uses documenter and docs-writer agent patterns
Requires
ruflo-coreplugin (provides MCP server)
Compatibility
- CLI: pinned to
@claude-flow/cliv3.6 major+minor. - Agent model: Haiku (cost-efficient for docs work).
- Verification:
bash plugins/ruflo-docs/scripts/smoke.shis the contract.
Document-worker contract
Drives the document background worker (one of 12 workers in CLAUDE.md). Two invocation paths:
# CLI
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks worker dispatch --trigger document
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks worker dispatch --trigger document --scope api
# MCP
mcp tool call hooks_worker-dispatch --json -- '{"trigger": "document", "scope": "api"}'
| Scope | Output |
|-------|--------|
| (none) | Full project documentation pass |
| api | API reference from JSDoc/TSDoc + OpenAPI 3.0 for HTTP endpoints |
| <file-path> | Single-file doc generation |
Namespace coordination
This plugin owns the docs-drift AgentDB namespace (kebab-case, follows the convention from ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 §"Namespace convention"). Used for drift-detection state (last-seen export hash per file). Reserved namespaces (pattern, claude-memories, default) MUST NOT be shadowed.
docs-drift is accessed via memory_* tools (namespace-routed).
Verification
bash plugins/ruflo-docs/scripts/smoke.sh
# Expected: "10 passed, 0 failed"

As a mod
Since this version the plugin is also a function-hook mod (ADR-445 pattern; needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or later). It never calls the network or spawns a process, and it only tightens: it can refuse a call, never allow one.
- Guard (default on): refuses
doc-*memory writes and thedocumentworker dispatch that hold a key, token or password. The reason names the kind of secret, never the value. /docs-mod: answered locally, no model turn:status,scan <text>(would the guard refuse this?), anddocs(markdown files indocs/).- Status file:
.claude-flow/docs-mod/status.json({version, updatedMs, guard, blocked}), written at session start and when a call is blocked. - Option:
guard(on|off, defaulton) in the plugin'suserConfig.
Test it: claude plugin test plugins/ruflo-docs and bash plugins/ruflo-docs/scripts/smoke.sh.
