This skill transforms a codebase into a single literate document: a .lit.md file that reads like a story and regenerates the original source code. It helps documentation engineers, architects, and team leads produce well-structured PDFs while keeping code and prose in sync.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.
Installs: Installs the Literate Programming skill into one target project's .claude/skills/ directory. · Claude Code
Run from: Directory containing the target project
In a terminal, replace `your-project` with the target project's directory name or path, then run this complete command block. Keep `litprog-skill` unchanged because it is the cloned repository directory used by the copy command.
git clone https://github.com/tlehman/litprog-skill.git mkdir -p your-project/.claude/skills/ cp litprog-skill/SKILL.md your-project/.claude/skills/literate-programming.md
Start or use a Claude Code session within the target project; Claude Code discovers skills from the project's `.claude/skills/` directory.
Uses Literate Programming
