Getting Started

Installation

dodo is available as a Claude Code plugin or as an npx skill. Both give you the same functionality — pick whichever fits your setup.

Claude Code plugin

Add the marketplace, then install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add thesimonho/artificial-jellybeans
/plugin install dodo@artificial-jellybeans

Skills are namespaced: /dodo:do, /dodo:do codemaps, etc.

npx skills

npx skills add thesimonho/dodo

Skills are flat: /dodo, /dodo codemaps, etc.

First run

Once installed, run the command with no arguments to update everything:

# Claude Code plugin
/dodo:do

# npx skills
/dodo

dodo checks each documentation type in your project. If docs exist, it updates them. If they don’t, it asks whether you’d like to create them.

Targeting a specific type

You can focus on a single documentation type:

/dodo site
/dodo codemaps
/dodo references

Or combine multiple types:

/dodo references and site

You can also target specific parts of a documentation type:

/dodo:do the site FAQ
/dodo:do add a codemap for the auth module

How it works

dodo uses a sequential fallback for each documentation type:

1. Find — checks the default location, then agent memory, then actively searches the codebase
2. Update — if docs exist, updates them against the current project state
3. Create — if docs don’t exist, asks you first, then walks through setup

It never creates documentation you didn’t ask for. It never rewrites your content without telling you what changed.
