Documentation Skills for Trae — FAQ
How do documentation skills work inside Trae?
Documentation skills draft and maintain human-readable context around your code — READMEs, inline docstrings, architecture decision records, and changelogs — all kept in sync with what the code actually does. When installed via BuySkills, the skill is written into the directory Trae reads from, and Trae's agent invokes it on demand as part of its normal loop.
Are the documentation skills for Trae free?
BuySkills hosts both free and paid documentation skills. Each listing shows the price (or "free") before install, so you can pick the right fit for your budget and workflow.
Will documentation skills overwrite my existing docs?
No. Doc skills default to 'append' or 'update section' mode — they propose diffs against your current doc files and let you accept or reject each block. Full overwrites are opt-in.
Can I use the same documentation skill with other agents?
Yes. One of BuySkills' core promises is cross-agent portability — install a documentation skill once and it works with Trae and every other supported agent (17+ total) without re-purchasing.
