EnglishFirst-run bootstrap and ongoing health check for docent. On first invocation, clones the docent engine into ~/.local/share/docent/engine, installs every cascade dependency (uv, ffmpeg, Kokoro voice weights, Remotion), and puts the docent CLI on PATH. On subsequent invocations, just runs docent doctor --install --yes to verify and repair. Use when the user says "/docent-doctor", asks to set up docent, hits a missing-dependency error from another docent skill, or wants to confirm the cascade can render end-to-end.
EnglishOne-shot — turn any subject (a repo, a PR, a file, a URL, an essay) into a rendered, narrated, animated explainer film. The flagship docent skill. Use when the user says "/docent-explain ", or asks to "make a film about X", "explain X as a video", "review X as a docent film", or just hands over a subject and expects an artifact at the end.
EnglishRender a PR-review film — a pull request reviewed the way a principal engineer would, with the load-bearing 5% surfaced, the trade-off named, and a verdict. Use when the user says "/docent-pr ", asks to "review PR N", "make a film about this PR", or hands over a GitHub PR URL and expects an artifact. The killer case is the sprawling AI-agent PR no human reads as a wall of text.
EnglishIncludes Docent Doctor, Docent Explain, and other workflows.
